Guess I am grateful for recognizing that it isn't easy to have to make these decisions and weigh the good against the bad.

Your expertise and educational knowledge are quite insightful 'Doc'. I just adore smart peeps!

Today I am really grateful for the acknowledgment and praise that those above me have been giving me at work. It is so good to know that something I enjoy so much is noticed and appreciated, and that I am indeed making a difference.

I am so grateful to have a Femme Posse again. Again? Wait....For the first time EVER, come to think of it! It's such a good thing. I feel so loved, accepted, and understood!

I'm grateful for those that keep me in their thoughts and hearts. It's a good feeling to be thought of and wanted.

Edited to add: I am grateful for the Universe sending me the PERFECT trainer so I can laugh while sweating and discovering how strong I really can be.

I am grateful to feel wanted and loved. I know rejection too well.

Gemme · 04-09-2010, 10:04 PM

I'm grateful for good luck in hiring (hopefully!), good food, and good laughs from guests, including a guy who looks like Hodgens on Bones!

I'm grateful I found work shoes that not only fit, but I like them too!

Diva · 04-12-2010, 08:07 PM

I am very grateful for the good health that I enjoy. It could always go the other way....and I give thanks to God that it didn't.

I am grateful for so many things in my life.

*First and foremost all of the love that is in my life..family, friends, and pups

*For the opportunity to go back to school full time and have the chance, at this stage in my life, to put my skills and my knowledge to good use doing what I love!

*For all the positive things in my life...

*for the fact that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE school and always thought I would absolutely hate it. Wrongo G!

*for my health, my family's health, my friends health

*for my awesome pups that make me laugh out loud on a daily basis; and the unconditional love and lots of little kisses I get when having a bad day.

*for a job that allows me to take time off to go to school and still get paid.

*for this BFP, and all of the family and friends I have here, that offer their support and love ALL of the time....

*finally, I am thankful that volleyball season starts next week and I get to play in the sand!

*oh, and I am thankful for cake....and this thermos. And this remote control.

"You cannot hold back a good laugh any more than you can the tide. Both are forces of nature." William Rotsler

"Have a mouth of ivy and a heart of holly." Irish proverb

"Hospitality is a form of worship." The Talmud

PinkieLee · 03-25-2010, 12:40 PM

For the many, many blessings in my life, I am thankful today and always for...

my family ~ for as dysfunctional as they are, the unconditional love is always there.

my friends, near & far. Even though life in general or the miles keep us apart, we are often in eachother's thoughts & always close in heart.

my jobs. As much as I complain about working for "the man" or about the crazy people at BANGO, I know that they provide me with security, and the ability to play as hard as I work.

my continued good health (and for the ability to take steps to improve it), and for the good health of my loved ones.

the beautiful sunshine that warms my skin and nourishes my soul.

music that speaks when the words fail me, and for igniting wonderful memories of people, times & places.

the ocean breeze on my face, that brings instant peace to my life.

the power of positive thinking that takes over my spirit, and helps me see the best in situations, people and myself.
