Gratitude

Arwen · 11-15-2009, 10:43 AM

I am grateful for:

A safe place to explore some hard thoughts
Creativity in all its forms and fashions
New friends and old
Talavera pots on my patio
Fewer boxes in my living room and the forecast of even fewer later today!
Red Stripe beer in my fridge waiting on a friend
The ability to love and be loved
Understanding what it is to be a whole, joyful person

I am grateful for:

1. My friends and family and for their continued good health.

2. The love of a good, good woman.

3. Myron, my blue White's Tree Frog . What a fantastic, interesting, sweet little soul that little frog is!! Who wouldda thunk it that a little frog like Myron could have brought so many smiles into my world??

3. My job, even though it (actually, THE PEOPLE, mind you) sometimes drives me nuts, I am very very fortunate to have a great situation with security, tenure, purpose, and good pay with great benefits. I never, for one second, take it for granted.

4. My own beautiful home, with a comfy romantic fireplace, which is more than adequate, and just perfect for Her, Myron and me. Home sweet home!!!!

5. Money in the bank.....there's no feeling of security quite like it!!!!

6. Titanium knees. The best gift I've ever gotten, courtesy of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. They have given me my career and life back, indeed.

I want to make sure than we don't ever stop thanking Jack and Medusa, Linus, June and all the moderators for their work on this wonderful site we call The Planet.

SelfMadeMan · 11-17-2009, 08:25 AM

I'm grateful for finding this site
I'm grateful that the stupid deer that rammed our car last night left no calling card
I'm grateful for this wonderful cup of coffee beside me
I'm grateful for one more day at home before going back to deal with the dumbasses I work with
I'm grateful that our neighbors are selling their house
I'm grateful for this beautiful sunny not too terribly cold day

Diva · 11-17-2009, 08:37 AM

~I am grateful for this cup of yummy Hazlenut coffee with the magical creamy goodness of Creme Brulee creamer!!!

~I am grateful for new friendships.

~I am grateful for old ones, too!

~I am grateful for this home, which provides protection and a place for my Chosen Family to gather and laugh and eat and feel safe, too.

~I am grateful for this Planet site. I feel safe here, too.

Arwen · 11-17-2009, 09:33 AM

Today I am grateful for:

The ability to make my life what I want
The love of friends
The purr of a cat
The bloom of a hibiscus that I can see
Reconnecting with someone dear
The chance to support a friend in a time of need
The chance to be not the center of attention

Gemme · 11-17-2009, 10:00 PM

I'm grateful that:

He gets me, even when I can't figure out how to explain things.

I have friends in many forms.

I am employed.

I have shelter, clothes on my back and food in my belly.

I have learned to say 'no' and not worry about it.

Arwen · 11-30-2009, 09:27 AM

I am grateful for:

Furniture where it is supposed to be.
A job that I love
Cats asleep on my toes
Being able to define myself for myself
Poetry
Friends

All the love shared so openly by my friends. Not nauseating but invigorating and inspiring to see people in love. Thanks y'all!
