What are you grateful for?
Oct 16^th, 2008 at 7:58pm

Keeping with my theme of trying to post something positive when things seem to heavy here for me......

I've kept a graditude journal for years. It helps me in lots of ways. Since we have had th kids we started talking about what we are thankful for during dinner every Firday night, trying to instill that value in my kids. It can be quite a revelation what a 3 1/2 year old is thankful for.

I assume everyone is thankful for family and friends, the country, our meds, and this place. What else are you thankful for? I mean where the rubber hits the road. Here are a few examples from my journal. Each day yeild new things that I am very lucky to have when I look back.

I am thankful for: Hot running water (shower), books, 4-wheel drive, the Internet, music, photography

I am grateful for so many things now - it's amazing what nearly crushing yourself in a mini van rollover can make you stop and think about.

Mostly, I'm thankful for music, and hearing my children play it, I'm thankful for my daughter, who, even though we fight, will tell everyone she meets in public that she has the kewlest mom on the planet, and I am grateful for my 16 y/o cat Wiley - and his insidious means of making me pet him and waking me up, I am thankful to simply be alive and watch the colo(u )rs on the leaves change, to be able to appreciate and enjoy the beauty in nature and of those around me.

Oh yeah, and I am VERY thankful for caffeine Wink

The list could go on forever

For having some old favorite movies on DVD that I can pop into the puter and watch when I need a pick-me-up. I'll think of more later...

There are only 130 movies on there and nothing I have interest in. So it's a mute point, but thanks for trying to help Bro.

I'm grateful for:

The wisdom of bumper stickers (they ARE the best way to get a pick-me-up)
Three words: MUSIC
caring people
Those I call family and good friends.
Art
Writing
My friends and loved/close ones
The alternate worlds within my mind (Thank you, Cautinia and Meciara!)
The wisdom of women (Women, truly, have more wisdom than men)
And hopefully, the ability to help bring not only America, but the world, to a greater understanding of peace.

...and the latter will probably never happen, sadly. Cry

Haha you're right Oliver, but I'd have to wait untill one of 'em dies and we'll take another one whom we can call Clusterchuck.
At the moment 8 ferrets is A LOT..... though I do know people who have even more.
Or I'd have to rename Billie as his name is almost the same as one of our dogs.

Lol Oliver, that you remembered!
