Being thankful and expressing gratitude help take us beyond the rough spots, and remind us that even in the midst of crisis, we still have much to be thankful for.
What are you thankful for today?
I am so happy and thankful for: The beautiful "fall" like weather
that I have a yummy salad waiting for me that I don't have to prep for lunch
That my mom is out of the hospital
That I had a client this morning
That one of my best friends is back from her vacation
That I have a gig this coming Saturday
That my kids are happy and healthy
That I FEEEEL good!

I am so happy and thank that:
The weather has cooled down so nicely! I have yummy, warm, Teeccino to drink this morning. I woke up early to get a little "me" time. My son is enjoying his experience in 8th grade. My daughter is so thrilled with her new pet rat. I have such great kids! I'll get to play my guitar later. I'll get to see one of my best friends this morning.

I love this thread! What a great way to uplift ourselves and others! I am so happy and thankful today because... My husband is regaining his positive attitude after a very stressful work period. We enjoyed a rejuvenating night together. His company is busy. My children are happy and getting healthier. We have loving extended family who are there for us in times of trouble and need as well as joy. I'm feeling better and better each day from all the exercise. I'm losing weight! We live in a safe, nice neighborhood. The weather is fantastic! I have time during the day to write, write, write. BellaOnline people are real and amazing! Thanks, Deanna!

I'm grateful for my husband who knows just how to keep me sane when life drives me crazy. We overdid it this week but we still have to keep pushing to get this move done. sigh.

My list of things that I'm thankful for could go on forever. Let me see.
I'm thankful that I am no longer in a wheelchair and that I'm now able to walk, run, jump, and skip.
I'm thankful that I am able to be my grandson's teacher.
I'm thankful for a wonderful, loving husband.
I'm thankful that we have the freedom to go to church wherever we choose and that we have an awesome church family.
I'm thankful that my husband, my son, and my daughter all have secure jobs.
I'm thankful that there is a freshly-made pot of coffee waiting on me each morning when my grandson and I arrive at school.
I'm thankful for Precious, my brown hound, who is as close to me as a child.
I'm thankful for all of the close friends that I have.
The list goes on and on. I'll share more another day.

Good Morning Ladies - what lovely gratitude lists - they've inspired me! I am so happy and thankful that: The smell of vanilla nut decaf is filling my kitchen and warming my belly. My kids had a BLAST at the play last night {they said it was VERY good}. Dinner last night with my visiting family was so great, I'm still smiling about it this morning. I get to go walking today. I was asked to teach a class at a local new thought church on how to make a life seal chart - YAY! My aunt and uncle are thinking about retiring to California and that would mean we could visit more often. My mom and aunt are doing well.
