What Are You Thankful For?

Soft*Silver · 11-23-2016, 08:46 PM

its been awhile since I have been on BFP except to play the arcade but...

I am thankful I am celebrating 5 years with my husband, 3 which we are married

I am ever so grateful for my grand daughter Violet, and my soon to be grand daughter to be named Evangaline

I am grateful I have been able to work PT even tho I am disabled and sometimes struggle

I am grateful that even tho I struggle physically and financially I have my horse, which is my best therapy for the mind and body

I am grateful that I can see the pain I have had, all resulted in the happiness I have now.

I am grateful for my lovely Rose Cottage, my tiny house, which brings me comfort and joy and shelters me and my loved ones

I'm thankful for the beauty found in the natural world around me, for the sound of the ocean, for a safe place to live, heat in my house, a car which gets me from A to B, friendships I am growing in my new community, air in my lungs,.....my strength of will to get up each day putting one foot in front of the other as I complete a seeming never ending mountain of "to dos" and that I can feel even when the feelings are hard, unpleasant and at times desired to cease....

My life has taken turns I did not ask for and yet it is my life and still contains beauty and grace....I get to direct my path and maybe, just maybe now that I'm older (sigh yikes small smile) I'll use my wisdom to make choices which will lead me right where I am supposed to be.....

....thankful for opportunities in an unwritten future

I am thankful I am still hear to watch my great grands grow up. Greatfull for my son who has stuck by my on this hard trip and learning process before, during and still as my knee heals...It has been a real rocky road( no pun intended). So ever thankful for my fur kids who are all ways near, they are the best thing to help keep me centered when I feel like falling apart. I am just plain thankful for being hear, to many more pool games left to play.

I have a lot to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. I am at the tail end of a two week road trip, reconnecting with East of the Mississippi friends. It could not have gone better. And still one visit to go - I arrive tomorrow.

All my friends are happy and doing well, which am grateful for. And I reconnected with them like we had just seen each other yesterday - except it was a little more intense because it has been a long time and life has happened to us all. A couple of them I saw two years ago, a couple within the last five years, but two very close friends I hadn't seen for ten years. I am not going to let that happen again. The friend on whose doorstep I arrive tomorrow I saw last month, but before that I think it had been three years. I am not going to do that anymore, meaning let so much time pass without seeing those I love. I am still super sad because this is the first big holiday without my mom. But I feel warmed by the love of friends and a little more grounded in this world again.

It's been a challenging, often difficult year, but there is much to be thankful for:

*I found my niece, and we had a wonderful reunion after 40+ years in March.
*That same trip, with my kids. Even with some squabbling, I'm so glad we did that. It might have been the last time before both of them go off on their own adventures.
*I have great health, even while being well-padded, for my age.
*The opportunity to study something new next year and to realize a long-standing goal
*My home, which is becoming my retreat and my haven
*The gift of being a cook, and food to cook with.

I'm thankful for the failures and things that didn't go well, because I learned so much about myself through them. I learned how strong I really am.

I can't really think of one thing in my life that I'm not thankful for.

I'm thankful for having a job, enough to eat, a place to live, my wonderful spouse, I'm thankful she is still with me and able to walk with her walker, my 3 dogs, all the little things in life that really matter.

I'm thankful for the tiny bit of rain we got

The merest sliver of a moon shining through the trees

The happy wonder of absolute quiet that exists just before dawn...

Orema · 11-24-2016, 07:15 AM

I'm thankful for a free press.

Very Blessed
I have a warm home a reliable truck a job that pays me well. God blessed me with a great family and abundantly blessed me with friends, my chosen family.

God has blessed me so richly and He sends people and animals across my path that keep me humble. Always providing accordingly so that I may share my blessings.

For this today and every day I am thankful.
