All quotes below from The Path of Service:Guideposts to Excellence by Christina "slavette" Parker c 2006
List five people or things you are grateful to have in your life and explain some of the reasons you value them so much.
my blood family because i love them and they love me even with years of distance between us whether physical or relationship wise i have never doubted that they love me. To parents who dropped the ball at times but still did their best, to siblings who have always been "big brother" & "big sister" and their spouses who have known me most of my life, my nieces who i love to pieces and now their offspring who have brought much joy to our family, and to all the family pets past & present who have been friends, companions, touchstones and material for humourous conversations and fond memories.
my family of choice Mr. Freeman Sir & Laura because i love them and they love me their friendship has meant so very much to me throughout the years. i am grateful that i am able to seek their advice/help while i travel this journey and how wonderful it is to know that i am not alone. Extended family & associates because they are an awesome support group. Collectively we ROCK!!
my relationship with Mr. Freeman Sir because he sees in me a person who has the potential to succeed where i put my mind & energy into and his presence in my life has helped me see that truth and claim it. And of course because i can be of service to someone i love & respect and that is a wonderful feeling and i am grateful.
For my job because it really was a life preserver 9 years ago when i was trying to climb out of chasm that i had fallen into. It gave me a the purpose i needed to get out of bed in the morning, i am still not a morning person but i am grateful that i can go to an office with people that i really like and who have supported and encouraged me throughout the years.
And last but definitely not least my spiritual path that allows me to believe , to trust, to have faith, answered prayers and to appreciate all of what Mother Nature and all her beauty that she displays in this great big wonderful world has to offer, to wake every morning and know that to "seize the day" is a reality. i am grateful.
joy in my heart i am truly grateful & i will sleep well tonight....
