What are you grateful for?

[Ashariel]

When I'm feeling down, it usually cheers me up to list all the good things in my life, that I'm grateful for... So here goes!

I'm grateful for:
- having pretty decent health
- having parents who love me
- having a caring and supportive ex-husband
- having friends online to talk to
- fun TV shows, movies, books, and games
- beautiful summer weather
- living in a relatively safe area
- my faith in God
- the fact that tomorrow is a new day, and a chance to do better.

Who's next?

That's a good list, Ashariel.

I'm grateful for
- life
- having empathy
- good people in this world
- all the things i have in this life e.g. decent paying job, a home, family etc
- having been loved (even though it's lost now)

I think this is a good thread. Sometimes we tend to forget the things that we already have and become ungrateful as we only keep focusing on what we don't have.

I am grateful for every day I get to open my eyes. Corny, I know, but with so many horrible things that can happen to anyone at any time, I really am.

My boys for making me laugh so much and very proud.
My beautiful girlfriend for giving me the chance for everything I've ever wanted.
My parents for the values, perspective and support they give me.
My education.
My country for being a relatively safe and free place to live out my years.

Guess I feel pretty sorted for once.
