Give Gratitude for 5 or More Things Daily: - Page 10

peachy · 09-17-2013, 03:49 PM

Grateful for all the people who share their hearts, minds, souls and experiences on this board without which I'd be more confused and lost than I am. I have learnt so much about how to treat people. I have gone from clueless to not exactly clued up but I think I am more understanding of good manners now. I have really blown it with the one woman I really want in my life. Maybe if I had known before what I know now I'd have done things better. Maybe with what I know now I can right this wrong one day.

I'm grateful for my women friends who love me and make me laugh. 2 who brought me surprise gifts this week.

Grateful for all the beautiful women I have loved over the years.

Grateful for this oh so sensitive barometer that is my body and the light bulb moment yesterday that in the same way bad things get in and get me down fast and hard, good things move them along just as fast and high.

Glad for my new job and such lovely staff keeping my mind on good things.

Katniss · 09-20-2013, 08:55 AM

I am thankful the weather is starting to cool just a touch here in the south. The mornings and evenings spent on the porch and blissful indeed.

I am excited that this is the weekend I choose all my spring bulbs and put them in cold storage to pre-chill for planting in late October. I am thinking this year it will be deep purple tulips combined with lovely and serene white tulips. I love having something to look forward to in the spring.

I am thankful that the kiddo and I have a weekend with only one scheduled event to attend so we can have fun working on art projects and birthday and Halloween crafts.

I am looking forward to buying the fall mums and pots of asters to decorate the front entranceway of our house.

I am very thankful that I found an awesome cello instructor so the kiddo can have lessons on the side as well as her orchaestra four days a week. I feel blessed she chose this instrument over all others.

I am happy to have discovered a new poet that I adore and that I have down time this weekend to read his latest work. Feeding the soul.....

Violette · 09-21-2013, 02:07 PM

My child. So, so, grateful for my child.

Knowing that every feeling, situation, thought, action will pass. Thank god.

Really wonderful food.

A listening ear.

People who see you. Who get you. And love you fully for all of it.

Grateful, grateful, grateful.

bacon, egg and cheese made by boy
the rush of walking on roof that is almost T.V.
putting a nice edge on the axe
The sun today
hard, loud music

DMW · 09-23-2013, 11:21 AM

Thanking God for a couple of special Great Danes.
A special Rhodesian Ridgeback.
All the special canines in people's lives.
Their unconditional love.
Dog is God spelled in reverse.
God is love and so Dog is love.

Sweet Bliss · 09-23-2013, 12:12 PM

Slowly recovering some energy I desperately need.
realizing I might be able to correct my strange body movement after surgery
My fur babies love me with or without long hair
Despite my screwed up whatever this is, I'm excited it's all about me. I think.

Grateful I have decided to spend more time /energy / everything on making me happy.

Nic · 09-25-2013, 09:51 AM

Grateful for:

FOOD and how lucky I am that going without it is just a matter of logistics and not a way of life

"Noodle" - tabby who's recovering comfortably after having eaten nearly 2 yards of sparkly, metallic thread. (Spools are irresistible ya know)

Phone call from my brother to work out the details of surprising my girl with a trip to Panama for Christmas so she can meet most of my family.

Plans for P'town this weekend.

Her. Every day. Every way.

Nic · 10-16-2013, 07:39 PM

Grateful:

for the Baystate run on Sunday. Mellow, fast course. Hoping to shave a second or two off my time.

that my girl is coming with me. Nice to have support and encouragement to relax this week and not over think things.

for work and co-workers and not being on call this week or next.

for her. Always.

DMW · 10-17-2013, 06:22 PM

The beautiful sunrise and the sunset that I enjoyed.
The time to stop and pause and revel in them.
My friends and family.
Food on the table.
The leaves on the trees.
Warm, dry sox.
Hot cup of Irish breakfast tea.
The quiet.

Violette · 10-17-2013, 07:17 PM

Recognizing my mistakes.

Learning from my mistakes.

Having the opportunity to do better.

Peace.

Quiet.

My lovely child.

JAGG · 10-17-2013, 07:48 PM

The beautiful huge orange moon this morning.
Finding bonus money in the ashtray.
I won the train race twice today !!! YEE HAW
I came up with a clever solution to a problem I was perplexed by. Brilliant!
My best friend and how much she loves me and how protective she is of me, she is a straight woman but would start WWWIII with anyone who made a jab about gays in front of her. I love her.

Lady Pamela · 10-17-2013, 11:02 PM

1. I am thankful for the air in my lungs. And for every day I am gifted with to breathe it in.
2. I am thankful to be able to see my wonderful children, grandchildren and all those I dearly care for. My mother went blind when I was just 9 years of age. And it is genetic so I value everything I see with new eyes everyday.
3.I am thankful for life challenges I have endured already. They have brought me to where I am today. And help me to know how very strong I can be when challenged with the unknown.
4.I am thankful for my spiritual gifts and knowledge. It has been aa director, protector and beacon in my life in all areas. And has allowed me to assist others in lifes road to lesson the hardships.
5.I am thannkful to have had such a strong bond and connection with my beautiful mamma. She dierected me even when I fought against her every move. And now that she is crossed over, her words and teachings ring true everyday. They have allowed me to be a better person, mom, grandmother, friend, student and teacher. Thank you mom for staying close, even in your transition and cross over.

JAGG · 10-24-2013, 11:23 AM

Spider Solitare

Nic · 10-27-2013, 11:04 AM

Grateful for:

the way my surprise Christmas plans are coming along,
how easy it was to come up with a reason she should update her passport,
the last 2 chocolate chip cookies and hot tea,
last night's "you should move in" conversation even though I didn't get the results I wanted,
the results of the more intense conversation that happened after the "you should move in" discussion ended,
co-worker who will dog sit while we're in Panama, and
her. Constantly.

uniquetobeme · 10-29-2013, 03:20 PM

Today I am grateful for:

The experiences that made me a better person, even the bad ones.

The time I got to spend being Maggie's human (she is my dog I had to put down in May). I got to be her human for 14 years

The roof over my head

My kids

My wonderfully amazing girlfriend

the Skymap app

It is so cool.

My friends

My job, I work with awesome people.

Teachers...where would we be without them?

plus many...many...many more things

Medusa · 11-20-2013, 02:02 PM

Grateful!

1. For the big, evil bed that I have spent so much time in lately. Grateful for good sheets, fluffy blankets, new pillows, and the pile of orange dog that is always at the foot of it (or draped across my legs)

2. For a boss who has been super understanding and flexible during this time. Being able to take my Pops to his appointments and be there for him like I have is such a blessing and gift. My boss is a kind person, even when I want to strangle him.

3. For my friends. The bud of my world has closed ever so slightly lately but my people have stayed with me, stayed by me, and have shown me in 100 ways that I matter to them. They have shown the hell up in ways I never imagined or expected.

4. For the budding sisterhood I am finding with a few particular women. I am sweetly surprised by their spirit, their generosity, and their wicked, raucous senses of humor.

5. For Jackhammer. Who makes me cackle on an ongoing basis and demands that I call her "Superman". We are lucky, she and I, that we found each other as best friends and grew it into something amazing and lasting.

Asari · 12-08-2013, 10:21 AM

Seasons and that every single one of them has its own magic.

A real, authentic laughter. So much joy and energy, the best medicine!

Rain and wind - that moment when you hear nothing but the breath of nature. Nothing can make me feel more alive and relaxed at the same time.

Peaceful minds, sharing their thoughts. Endlessly inspiring.

You. Yes, you. Thank you for being part of this community, this society, humankind, this world and making it the incredible place it is.

little_ms_sunshyne · 12-08-2013, 11:13 AM

I am grateful for...

The time I get to spend with my family. Even if they drive me insane! What family isn't dysfunctional?

Good friends that make your cheeks and tummy hurt from laughter!

A home cooked meal!

Spending the holidays with people you hold close to your heart!

Midnight Skype dates with my best friend!
