Gratitude

Inuus · 11-15-2009, 09:55 AM

I'm grateful for my health

I'm grateful every day to have another day with my loving joyful best friend of a dog Gouda

I'm grateful for my jobs (although some days I wish I didnt have to work)

I'm grateful for the best friend anyone could ever have

SelfMadeMan · 11-15-2009, 09:58 AM

Today I am grateful for my family, my weight loss, the wonderful health club we joined, a new sense of self, and a new place online to check out!

Gemme · 11-15-2009, 09:59 AM

I'm grateful for my daily glimpses into the purest love I've ever known.

Thinker · 11-15-2009, 10:15 AM

for weekends with the lady
for a strong finish in yesterday's tournament
that the sun is shining today
for Mucinex

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

SelfMadeMan · 11-16-2009, 10:16 AM

Today I Am Grateful For:
Finding my one true love in life and being in a marriage that makes me feel complete
Our kids & what good people they are
Our nephew Jordan being able to move in with us and start a new life
Laci & Pixi
Wonderful friends!!
Our home
Our jobs
Being able to do the things we enjoy
Becoming healthier!!

theoddz · 11-16-2009, 11:02 AM

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'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

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

Arwen · 11-18-2009, 08:09 AM

I am grateful for:

Neighbors who did not come flying down the stairs when I started hammering shims in at 9:30pm
A working DVD player so I could geek out to Star Trek (yes I bought it the day it released)
Enthusiasm
Flirting
Attention
All the love shared so openly by my friends. Not nauseating but invigorating and inspiring to see people in love. Thanks y'all!

Andrew, Jr. · 11-18-2009, 01:32 PM
