Gratitude posts

Hi everybody, I thought having a topic where we can post what we are grateful for might help. I used to have a site where I posted to daily which then sent me a summary email weekly of things I was grateful for but have had some problems with this recently so felt this might be a good replacement.

Here's my three things to be grateful for today:

A loving family,
A part-time job,
This forum.

Re: Gratitude posts

I'm grateful that @bipolar101 started this terrific thread (I hope you are travelling ok!)

I'm grateful for the early morning. I stood on my doorstep just after dawn, breathed the morning air, listened to the birds and very quietly sung one of my personal "mantras".

I'm grateful for the many beuatiful, supportive and generous people I have met on this forum. I count myself truly blessed to be part of this community.

Kind regards,

Kristin

Re: Gratitude posts

I am SO grateful for my big girl. In all sorts of ways big and small she has stepped up to help me at the moment.

Here are two examples:

A lunch-box note for her little sister - If you stumble make it part of the dance

A quote via hangouts for me - Yeah I am WIERD: Wonderful, Exciting, Interesting, Real, Different! (I declared us a weird family years ago when my eldest was in year 7, and he complained his friends thought his sister was weird. This is an idea my elder daughter has embraced as freedom to be herself )

Re: Gratitude posts

What a great thread.

I'm grateful for my husband, even through all his MH issues he tries to remain cheerful and loving.
I'm grateful for my two wonderful children and my adorable granddaughter.
I'm grateful for my three wonderful stepchildren and two step-grandchildren.
I'm grateful for the roof over my head, the food in my belly and the little (very little) luxuries that being retired provides us with.

Being a carer isn't easy and there are so many things that I'd love to "wish away" but it pays to read a thread like this and realise there are also many things to be grateful for.

Re: Gratitude posts

I really feel like acknowledging my neighbor as I am so Grateful to be blessed to have met this kind and most helpful lady. My life has been made so much easier because of her. I just wish I could some how give back to her. I am going to try harder to be there for her somehow.
