For 30 Days of Gratitude, an art journaling challenge at The Lilypad. I realize this prompt is meant to elicit happy precious memories (of which I have many) but I am still dragging along my two years (2014-2016) of the worst time I’ve had since first becoming ill in 1996. I took this opportunity to purge some of that. I’m grateful to be moving past it, and grateful for these gratitude exercises.

Such a moving AJ page! It sounds like you have gone through a tough time but this challenge seems to be bringing you some peace. Thank you for sharing x
Sharon..... I knew you were in the pain fight , I remember loving so many pages of yours back on Paula's team years ago, and feeling that kind of feeling that only the people who suffer the struggle we do can understand... I noticed you disappeared for quiet a while but didn't know what happened or who to ask really, as I myself had been on and off for so long.... as to the gratitude... I think is great to be able to scrap the struggles because they make you so more aware of the good times and good things when they come by.... I am so so glad you are scrapping again.... funny I made a page that has almost the same sentiment at heart.... I say I keep stitching myself together... there are times in which I have felt like giving up would be more of an option ...but then again , so many people around that help me keep the whole thing together....so here we are a super super huge hugg, I am glad you are scrapping and even more so, that you are at The Pad
So glad you came through that fight with such strength and attitude of persistence. I'm sorry for your suffering. I'm excited to see those Sissy Sparrows word arts. I miss them so much.
