Gratitude Friday 08/05/2011, appreciating the gifts of The Universe

Gratitude Friday is a weekly ritual I started in order to focus on all the small and big positive things that happened during my week. I invite you to join me, you’ll see how much being thankful can change your life. If you want to know more about it, read my introduction post.

Hello !

I have to say that the painkillers (that originally are meds for people suffering from convulsions… duh !) are helping quite a lot with the FMS pain. Not with the huge fatigue. But I can finally get some stuff done.

This week, I am thankful for:

• The Medicine Bundles I finally received from Pixie Campbell. Not her fault, the first package she sent me back in mid-june never ever arrived to me. The Whale one is for me, she is one of my totems, the Beaver one is for my Mom.
• The strength of my Mom; she is going through a lot of very bad stuff this week and she is the one telling me “everything is gonna be okay”.
• The support from my Tribe Sisters and from my friend Anu.
• My new tattoo is just way better than in my dreams.
• The meds are helping. Dreams were gone the first 3 nights but are back, I wish they would be happier though.
• My girls are healthy and happy.
• My husband loves me as much as I love him. Unconditionally.
• I pour my heart in my paintings, and people seem to connect.
• We handpicked some berries and I made 9 jars of marmelade. I have to do strawberries. Will get us through until next summer.
• I cooked vegetables couscous (in Europe, “couscous” does not name the cereal but a meal, originated from North Africa) and it was very yummy. Will do it again.
• An unexpected phone call.
• I was able to fix to of my favourite pants, with my sewing machine, myself.
• We are spending a few days in Seattle.
