littletower,  Your list is awesome.  Mine's similar.  I looked at my husband last night ( he was simply sitting in a chair, looking in a box of his old watches and stuff) and I thought how overwhelmingly lucky and happy I am to have such a wonderful man in my life.  Right now I'm taking care of a beloved cat who had to have surgery and is suffering, yet he will recover, and have some time with us yet.  I'm grateful for that.  I love my mother so much, and know I couldn't have had a better mom.  It's bittersweet knowing she is so elderly and now has alzheimer's.  I think how lucky I am to have lived already five years after this diagnosis.  I look at my warm, cozy home on this rainy day.  

It will be a long day for you, but I am waiting with you.  Please pet your goofy, sweet dog for me, and I will sit with my sweet cat.  We will wait.  I am hoping for good news for you.  Hugs, G. 

... and pink tulips... just because.

Grateful to have a job and health insurance!  So grateful!

Edit to add: And today I'm grateful that all job deadlines have been met, none are looming tomorrow, and a particularly trying boss (among several bosses that I have) is on a long plane flight today, and I can leave work "early" !

Right now I am grateful for littletower for starting this inspiring thread. I am grateful that Annabanana came back to us. I am grateful that i have enough cash to pay my electricity bill and i am grateful that my issues at work are finally being dealt with, and that on account of that, i don't need to get up horribly early tomorrow Yay! I am grateful that my car passed it's annual statutory safety checks and I don't have a huge bill to pay. I am grateful for a free supper in my freezer from a friend at church who made extra just for me! Oh and I am grateful that my elderly mom broke her hip when she did, so that she was already safely being looked after in the nursing home while i went through BC.

I am grateful for my life.  It may not be perfect but it is mine and I am going to live it to the fullest!  My husband and my girls are my whole world and I cannot express how grateful I am for them.  I am grateful for my hair, even though it's really curly and makes me look like a crazy woman   I am grateful for this board, for without it I am certain I would have lost my mind.  I don't post here much but I read everyday.  Thank you for starting this tread, it made me think about the good things in my life   Love to you all!

I am grateful that I feel grateful.

I'm grateful for members of my family who were always there for me when other family wasn't.

I'm grateful that my father gave so much to us while he was alive, yet managed to give even more after he died. Because of him I'm able to fulfill a life-long wish to buy my own home (at age 60!).

I'm grateful for my two children who have finally managed to start their own lives, lol. They continue to surpise me with their thoughtfulness.

I'm grateful that I got through the past year at work which saw several people in my field within my company let go (Why do designers always seem to get the axe first?).

I'm grateful that my onc isn't cutting me loose anytime soon. We've gone from every-three-months to every-four-months, will stay on that for another year, then go to every-six-months. I hope it doesn't end when I finish five years on my AI.

I am grateful as many others are here...for the husband who grabs me and pulls me close still, telling me how beautiful I am...while I still have surgical tape on breasts that have scars and no nipples.



I am grateful I got on this morning to bco, and this was the thread I came to first...because sometimes I feel the need to not log back in...my spirit is weak seeing my sisters struggle so much. I appreciate the threads of joy.

OMG, so  many things...

my 4 year old son and 6 year old daughter who are our jewels

my husband who makes me coffee every single morning!! heck, my awesome coffee maker

I so much appreciate that:-

My mother and I have lovely days out and she can still laugh and chat despite Alzheimer's.

My wonderful little sister who took all the care and responsibility for mum while I had BC treatments.

My youngest son who missed years of school with chronic fatigue found a college course in 3D animation and Art that he is passionate about that didn't require matriculation and it's a brilliant, student friendly college.

My eldest son has recently started a full time job in his chosen field which is hard to get into- while completing his final year at university.

My personal beliefs that give me great joy and comfort.

The moon and stars at night.

Watching out for whatever plants are in flower or showing beautiful features.

This thread.

All the happy happy moments that I relax into each day. I believe everything we do is designed to ultimately make us happy, but we can get there without all those outside props.

The more I succeed in being happy each day, the happier that makes me.  What a neat trick!

Wow!  What a great thread!  And I LOVED the picture Shana...I saved it to send my friends!   I'm grateful for today, and how my life has been blessed.  I'm grateful for being NED this past year!  And I'm grateful because even though it might be snowing out, I can still find something to do around the house. 

 And my Grandsons...."my boys" without whom my life would not be complete.  My Daughters' who mean the world to me, & my DH.  We have known each other for 55 years, just married 53...but I am grateful we still have each other, even when the times were tough.

sheilah...I'm so glad you still have your Mom....I was with my Grandma also, when she wasn't quite "there"....but I loved it.

Littletower!  I love your shoe!  Mine aren't quite so glamorous right now....I have my warm fleece-lined crocks on!    I would topple over with high heels on I think.....

First of all I'm thankfiul for littletowers shoe room - that made me smile   I am glad I saw this thread today.

I am so thankful for my DH, he has been there every step of the way.  I am thankful for the sunshine which has felt so good on my skin and bald head the past week (supposed to rain tomorrow), I am thankful for my new bed, I am thankful for my pets because they love unconditionally and make me laugh every day.
