[nowandthen]

Humbled by the out pouring of love for a friend that passed recently and suddenly. She left a wife and child, and a whole community better for having live among us. Today was her memorial, and the theme over and over was tell the people you love that you love them, cause today maybe the day. Tell them they matter and the largest theme was keep risking love, love hard, love deep.
If you have touched my life know that I felt/feel your love, and and I send mine back:rrose:

watching my father as he ages...gone are the strong arms that use to lift heavy items and replaced are the tattered muscles of a man who worked hard his whole life..gone is the thickness in his stong neck and replaced by the wrinkles of age..gone are the muscular thighs that use to bounce me to a giggle frenzy and be the seat in which I sat when I needed just that spot on my daddies lap..gone are the strong amazing hands that use to lift loads and loads of laundry daily and haul it to and fro..replaced by liver spotted hands that still have strength..gone are the shoulders of a man who carried the weight of his world..replaced by the hunches caused by the burdens of his time...

but I am most humbled by his ability to still make me laugh from the deepest part of my heart that will always love him for the strength he has passed to me....

I am truly humbled by a man who has given me this life...

I love you dad!

I am humbled by the minds of the research scientists that develop chemo therapies and procedures that rendered my son cancer-free. Too many lost in the past, but, I can be thankful for his recovery and for other's that have been treated with success. And I am humbled by the courage of those that fight illness every single day.

I am humbled by the uneven block of flagstone in my neighbors walk. Damn thing always brings me down to earth when I trip over it.

Also by the quality of light when it's just about to rain here in Denver. Magic.

My sweet Ladybug... 11 1/2 year old corgie mix...who has battled with a skin infection for 2 months now... She is such a good sport... even when she has to have her iodine baths.. I just hope the new tar shampoo the groomer suggested helps with her itching... poor baby... thank goodness her hair is growing back in and she sleeps more peacefully lately..

Gosh I dont know what I will do when that sweet girl of mine passes.. I have had her since she was 5 months old...

I am humbled by the newcomers and those re-introducing themselves, in the halls of AA. In their pain and suffering, I see where I once was and how hard it was to come back...and in their struggle, I see their courage and strength and know that somehow the hand of god as we understand him, was there for me and there for them,...

I am humbled by so many things:

~ I am humbled by the Planet, which inhabits so many wonderful members who are simply themselves no matter what the world throws at them

~ I am humbled by My sweet little sister, who despite having autism is the sweetest thing in the world and gives love freely no matter who the other person may be or their faults/imperfections

~ I am humbled by My mom who, despite all that the world throws at her daily, still loves and cares for her family in the best way that she can

~ I am humbled by My fellow FTM brothers who have matched their outsides to their insides, becoming the men that they always were and giving Me the courage to do the same

~ I am humbled by My bro, Andrew, who despite all that he has been dealt with in his life finds compassion in his heart daily and gives it freely to others. He has always been there for Me, reaching out to Me when I needed a friend and is always true to himself no matter what ........ he humbles Me on a daily basis, and I'm proud to call him My bro :)

watching progress stem from destruction.

[Gentle Tiger]

I am humbled by those who have gone before me, who have been the bridge for me to be where I am today. I am humbled by their sacrifice of life, blood, and self so that I have the choice to waste or take advantage of opportunities when they come; to live and be the bridge for others or to be selfish and turn a blind eye.

To my ancestors and those who fight for freedom...thank you.

The Humpback mother & her baby that graced our boat with their presence....

[DamonK]

...That lil guy that loves to fall asleep on my chest
...That other lil guy who is as blind as they come, but more loving than all the others combined
...The big girl who is an only child, yet as adored as she is adoring
...The old girl who has led a wonderful life
...The baby girl that is so happy-go-lucky in all of her prancing glory -- right through my living room until she bottoms out into a wall

The depth of love and trust they show their humans...is amazing.

Most of all...

I'm humbled by the love I'm shown daily. The devotion I'm shown. I'm even humbled by disagreements, because it's the hard talks that makes the relationship works.

When it's hard, because it's hard, especially when it's hard.

Just sayin.... I am the babygirl of this house! LOL And I dont prance through the livingroom... well... maybe... :waitinggirl:

I am humbled by all of the volunteers cleaning, ever so gently, all those birds and turtles saturated by oil. Also, I am humbled by organizations like Habitat for Humanity that build new houses for people that have lost everything. Volunteers there, too. I volunteerr locally for organizations, but many of these people travel great distances footing their own bills to lend a hand and give up vacation time and sick leave to be able to do things for others.

[WingsOnFire]

I am humbled by the patience he bestows me....

By the devotion he shows me every day....
By the willingness to do anything to work through any situation with a positive outcome.
I am humbled by him.... everyday...

I'm humbled.. when a resident thanks me for caring for them. It's a rare thing that occurs.

I'm humbled.. with all the dogs and their trusting nature.

I'm humbled.. by her willingness to open her mind to new possibilities.

I'm humbled.. by the depth of her acceptance. A year ago, she'd have said "I don't think so". Now she says "I love you for YOU, not your body".

I'm humbled.. by coworkers accepting my trans status. Being in the bible belt, it's not really something you want to loudly advertise. The 4 that know, have been awesome about it.

[SuperFemme]
