I am deeply grateful that despite being a guy, I have been able to bring joy and love to my beloved wife who, I know like many of you, has found immense joy in being a wife and mother...hope that this small nugget of inspiration finds approval from the beautiful people out there! Thank you for this opportunity!Stay blessed!

Mark.....that was just beautiful. Thank you. I don't have children (I have great nephews, though), but I enjoyed being married and I miss it. To have a devoted husband like you is a blessing to any woman. I wish you, your wife, and your family every happiness.

Today I am grateful that even though I am alone, I have my pets who love me unconditionally.

Mark, I have no words for your post that can do it justice other than to say that I am deeply moved by it. She is a very lucky lady!!!! dave

Today i am grateful for all the little (and big) things I normally take for granted.

Today I am grateful that I have a case manager and meds. I have been off my meds for two days and feel completely out of sorts. It really shows me how lucky I am to have proper health care.

Dear Jilly -

That is wonderful that you have a case manager who helps you be as healthy as possible! Kudos to you for working through all the various hurdles and achieving this.

I am grateful that day by day I am removing clutter from the house. I am making a dedicated effort to read through my giant review book pile, sell off old books and CDs, and donate old jewelry. Every day things get just a tiny bit cleaner.

Lisa, that sounds great. I've noticed that when I decide it's okay to spend time reading, I can go through a ton of books, and have fun doing it. It seems like such a decadent luxury to just hang back ad read; i have to remind myself it is just as productive as anything else. (and usually more fun)

Today I am grateful for the assistance I am getting in feeding these cats and the feral colony. I could not afford all these mouths on my own.
