For personal reasons, I will not be posting my appreciation journal next month. I am posting this instead in a more simple way and a bit early to give everyone time with their families. I know there might be some excluded in the process, and for that I am sorry but it cannot be helped, as I am not going to be here very long each day during the Holidays as well. I have enjoyed doing these since I first joined in 2012. Last month's #64 is my last one for the time being. This has nothing to do with ECLIPSE. Thank you for your understanding. Please know that my sincere appreciation for all that you do will not change. I just do not know yet what I will do in terms of journals from this point forward. I love you all

Thank you everyone for your friendship and kind support this past year. I am truly blessed to have you all in my life. You bring me untold joy not only during the Holidays but every single day of my life in this kind

Thank you for the beautiful gifts for me specifically from my

Die Ghul Show (187) with TEAPHOTOGRAPHY!:icondasghul:: Welcome to my humble show, :iconteaphotography:!
How do you like it so far?

:iconteaphotography:: I usually like most things... at first. Mainly because I am of the attitude, that I'll usually try something at least once (as long as it's not animal flesh)
So, um, so far so good!

:icondasghul:: Is this supposed to tell me, that you are vegan?

:iconteaphotography:: Yes, I am a vegan. But vegans can be fun. But that doesn't mean I'm also partially vampiric.

:icondasghul:: I did not mean to imply that vegans can not be fun!

I am kinda confused though, how you can still be partially vampiric...
Because: Don't vampires kinda define themselves, by drinking blood?
Of (humans are animals!) dead animals?

:iconteaphotography::

I know that YOU didn't mean to imply anything about vegans.
It was sort of a preemptive response based on assumptions others have made.
And being only *partially* vampiric, means exactly

Three Christmas Baubles - free to use by vanndra

Our many different cultures notwithstanding, there's something about the holidays that makes the planet communal. Even nations that do not celebrate Christmas can't help but be caught up in the collective spirit of their neighbors, as twinkling lights dot the landscape and carols fill the air. It's an inspiring time of the year.

Gratz has so far become a bit of series here on dA, where anyone can join in and share 1, or up to 5 of their Gratz.(or more as I have seen, and THAT is fine as well!)

But, the point is, No more weight is given to someone who shares more than ONE.

Sharing one gratitude publicly is not easy... it takes courage to share your gratitudes outloud.
So, WHY WOULD WE DO IT?
Well, because sometimes when you find something that is a good tool that works for yourself in your own life, that gives it that balance it needs against the hardships of the world, we wouldn't want to keep that to ourselves.
OTHER people out there are also having challenges, hardships, and struggles, and to share something li ATTZ. of GRATZ. #8The Previous Attz. of GRATZ. are HERE:

So the USA had their Thanksgiving Holiday on the 22nd last week, and we know that some other countries practice some sort of Holiday of Giving Thanks, whenever that might be. At first I thought about it, thinking we don't or we shouldn't NEED a holiday to remind us to be thankful or grateful for what we do have, but I have recently been rethinking this.

Maybe many of us DO need some kind of holiday or special day of the year or month, to help us remember to give thanks. What really IS wrong with that? We live in very fast-paced world, and in complicated times, and even when we might be of people who are obviously ones who have a tons to be grateful for, we simply forget... we simply just thi

If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again.

Attz. of GRATZ. #4
Gratz is an intriguing one of many "tools" in getting through and living life, and I will be the first to admit, I have had some trouble getting back to them on my own, on the semi-regular basis that I had managed my way back to them, since about this Summer, writing 3-4 times a week, in a Gratz Journal by the side of my bed.
What makes Gratz and so different during other times, more than others, is that it is much easier to *feel* what you are grateful for, and have the motivation to express them, when things are going fairly well with life. The challenge comes into a greater play, when things are not going as well as they had been. Perhaps it's due to physical illness, family illness, pet illness, financial troubles, any number of things or a combination there of.
And yet, THIS is when w

Some of what I have learned thus far up until this point in my life, and probably mostly this last year, is that I can easily become overwhelmed when too much is thrown at me all at once. I just want to shut down and not deal at all. But I have realized that I can't just shut down completely, but that I can press the pause button, breathe some fresh air, reflect, process, prioritize and begin with one issue at a time.

A New September

A NEW SEPTEMBER
And then again comes September

And as a matter of course
Drawn indoors and inward
With a low-lit ember
Taking pen to paper
To quantify, brave, and understand
The things we remember
To re-introduce ourselves
to our very selves
But yet, it is a new September

Autumn on 199 East

AUTUMN ON 199 EAST

The Seasonal Sun flickers between the forest trees,
as we wind down the road, like an insane strobe light of the daytime.

The evergreens reach and stretch, and sometimes yawn, towering like spires,
upward into the chilly Autumn air, backed by pale blue hues,
like the orbs of a cyclical Deity peeking down below,
spying on the cars like ants as they weave around following each other along
some Eastern procurable route.

The deciduous trees add sensational colour, intermittently,
down the roadside, yellows and oranges amid the dark and light greens-
a partial rainbowic delight of wild woodland.

East on 199, rarely has a destination of much fun or joy,

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

ATTZ. of GRATZ. #2
I think it's wonderful that we've actually had dA Members participating in "ATTZ. of GRATZ." other wise known as "Attitudes of Gratitudes". Presenting it this way helps to make it... more fun? to think consciously in terms of what is GOOD in life. It's already so much easier to know what's NOT good. We seem to automatically know what's awful. We are bombarded with these truths constantly.

This is not an attempt to deny the realities that are going on in our lives and the world around us and try to advocate a "PollyAnna" way of thinking and being. But it does seem like the terrible things are already in our faces before we can even think. It's easy to become jaded to anything that is positive, good, or happy.

"Attz. of Gratz." is simply a WAY to bring balance to your own inner-life, and ther

In no particular order featuring mentions and dedications for the month of August to several including me, or to all friends, and watchers. Your kindness is very much appreciated Heart
