I know this may not be the place, but I remember at one time it was to put this on here, but as we all know that I can't keep my mouth shut, So I thought I would start this post,and would like for everyone to post all the postive things that is going on right now in your evolvng world, I was so happy to see that Sibera had a baby girl and she posted it, and

Right now I am so gratiful that I am healthy, and able to do all that I do, that the progress is coming along on the new place, the sun is shineing today, and thinking how great life is, with the flowers poking there heads through the dirt, and that all is smiling on my family and yours, True blessings to all of you, That one of my dearest friends is able to go outside and see all that is around them, The little things in life still mean the most, weather a smile,a hug, or just because that is what it is all about.

I'm grateful that I can start my day over. Broken nail, spilled vase, cold weather.... these are minor things.

I have my health, a great marriage, friends, family, the opportunity to have my own business....I am extremely lucky!

Awesome thread.

Queen, this is exactly how I have been holdng my head above water...everyday when i feel the doom and gloom setting in, I sit and contemplate 1 or 6 good things to counteract the one bad thing at that moment...it has helped me see all the good things in my life rather than dweel on the few very bad things that have been going on...thanks for reminding all of us that this works, I have a very large list of things I am grateful for, here goes....

I am grateful to have lost a butt load of weight and gotten rid of my diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol and breathing issues..

Grateful to have a husband who knows when I need a push and criticism or when I need a hug or a kind word. he always knows just the right thing that will help me through any hardship.

Grateful to have a mom so willing to help me out still at 37 years old when I have problems instead of turning me away and saying you're a big girl deal with it...This also helps me be humbled by the fact that I am a big girl and should not need my mom so much..

Grateful I have a home to live in and food on my table, there are so many without even this right now...

Grateful for every person who finds my business and twice as grateful for the people who like it and return..

Grateful for the sun shining even if it is still chilly out here.

Grateful for my cats who love me unconditionally...well maybe not completely.

Grateful for my sense of humor and my innovative ways to get myself out of the dumps without spending very much time there.

There is so much more, but I will end this list here...

I hope you all make a grateful list, I think in the coming months we will all need this list to get us through our challenges...It helps really it does...I have felt very good for the past week because I keep reminding myself how "good" I have it especially when things go very, very wrong...

I am thankful that Aileen hasn't signed on yet. I am most sure that she will see this and write a 4 page reply! If she would bottle some of that happy go luckiness, she would make a fortune. And I am most certain she would spread some that fortune around to us.

I am grateful that today is not yesterday.

I am grateful for the daffodils peeking through my garden - I fixate on them each time I walk by them, which is many times daily. They remind me of hope.

""Where flowers bloom, so does Hope""

thanks for the reminder Queen.

Where to start . . .

I have the most phenomenal family and friends who have collectively picked me up an carried me through the last year and a half since my sweet hubby died. I never really wanted to know how grateful I could be for them, but now I do!

Every day I have the blessing to work at a job I love. And we're making it work even though it's a little squishy at times!

My animals even tell me I sing pretty. (little liars)

I live in this wonderful, free country with all its varying opinions. We are still free to express them.

I thank those whose service protects and defends us.

I am grateful for the gift of today. It's mine to make.

I'm thankful that Queen made us all think about this!

I'll try to keep it simple...try is the key word there! ;)

I am grateful for:

my father's service, my mother's support

marrying my high school sweetheart at a young age-barely 18

the Marine Corps

not passing the Air Force entrance physical...this led me to finding out about my kidneys.

the people I've met along the way in this lifestyle

the birth of my children and being alive after the fact to enjoy them to this day

owning a home and being able to keep it after that crazy debacle

finally knowing that "flowers" is where I belong and this wonderful group of people I have come to know

most of all I am grateful for knowing the feeling of love in all its' wonderful forms
