I am a big believer in living with gratitude, even in those darken days of life. I keep a gratitude journal next to my bed and must write at least 5 things I am grateful for. How about you?

_____________________________

I know where I came from and where I am today. I am forever grateful to all that touched my life. Thank you all and especially you, Goddess.

Wow yes..

I keep a GRATITUDE journal too.. and give them as gifts..
to sponsees in 12 Step Programs..
I draw and paint and write in them..and do whole pages..like on fresh water

if you are not in a atitude of gratitude you are in one of grievance..

and I have so much to be grateful for..
TO DAY:
my grandsons
my children
health
fresh air
water
fruit
peace in my home
magpies calling
lilac fragrance thru my window
fresh rain
my cat's friendship
soft skin

One more day. I woke up.

Oh- I paid the house payment yesterday. (with out bouncing a check!)

...ummm, I am grateful for my neighbors. Last night I prayed with my one neighbor. You have no idea how intense it was and still is as of this morning. :-)

I have so much to be grateful for:
My beautiful daughter & her 3 munchkins.
I have 1 f/t & 1 p/t job when so many folks are losing theirs that I'll never bad mouth either.
My home
Jilly & Jolly
People/Animals that we're able to save
Friends
Enough to eat
Waking up each time I close my eyes

I am grateful that my UM doesnt have any problems due to the horrible genetics that both her ma and I have
I am grateful that I live in a house, with a door that locks
I am grateful that I have electricity, and clean water
I am grateful that I have food
I am grateful that I have found a wonderful woman, that is equally willing to put up with my rampant sex drive (In fact, she rather enjoys it) and the nightmares that persist to this day making longer than 2 hours of sleep at a time impossible
I am grateful that I have a job starting soon
I am grateful that I will be able to pay my bills
I am VERY grateful to have the internet
I am grateful that my own business may just get the kick-off that it needs
I am more grateful than I can ever express for the acceptance and friendship that I have received here.
