What are YOU truly grateful for?

[squashysu]

I cant say at the mo, I think everyone in my family is ungrateful!!

[sallym]

They say that women try to find a carbon copy of their Fathers in their Husband. I wasn't looking for that at all, But I am eternally grateful because that is what I got.

Is this the Sunday School thread?

Sorry playmates but my Sunday morning sermon begins "Lifes a bitch and then you die"

Wazzup Snadger? Having a rubbish morning?

[seasprout]

At the moment having a job and being able to afford the mortgage.

[Snadger]

Wazzup Snadger? Having a rubbish morning?

Nope Flum, just a happy miserable git......if ya get my meaning!

[jacob marley]

As long as you wake up every morning every else is a misnomer just keep waking up thats the secret thats my take on it any way jacob marley

[HeyWayne]

For having all the senses to experience the world, and the legs to carry my around it.

Oh, and for the love of LadyWayne and the Bean she's carrying.

[wellie]

... and for waking up next to a marginally less happy miserable git, obviously?

[bubblewrap]

Yesterday is history tomorrow the future today is the present treat it as such.

I am truly grateful that it is chucking it down, so that I have a 'genuine' reason not to take the children on the halloween treasure hunt this evening......

Wife , Kids , Parents , Mother in law (honest), Father in law,all my close relations -brother in laws , wifes sisters . We all get on like a house on fire - all except me and my brother and his wife but that just goes to prove you can choose your friends but not your family.
A job or 2 -
Gardening - not exactly the love of my life but it pays the bills and gets me home at night
Driving - it's what i really love doing but with 2 kids and a wife you have to draw the line and do the decent thing and be at home for them.

Last but not least not seeing my name in the local rag obituary

Life is what you make it - I try to make it funny.

Wellie I couldnt agree with you more! I am grateful for far too many things to list. Without gratitude it is too easy for me to focus on the things I think are wrong in my life and lose sight of the good stuff.

There are so many things to be thankful for - sometimes we overlook little things but a small kindness can make our day.

I reckon it would be a good exercise to end each day with a few minutes thinking of the good parts of the day and what we're thankful for.

Sorry if that sounds preachy, but it's just that this thread has got me thinking!

[HeyWayne]

And grateful for the ability to be grateful.

Mainly my two wonderful kiddies!!.....& I guess Andi!!
Also for being born in a country where "hardship"means turning the dial down on the central heating or cutting back on Christmas pressies,as opposed to fighting your way through crowds of people(child on your shoulders),risking life or limb just to get a small amount of food to help you through a night spent under the stars!!
