What are you thankful for?

I've vented (just a little ;)) at Lit before, and wondered what it would be like if everyone had the opportunity to say what they are thankful for, instead of what pissed them off. Anger is fleeting, frustration is temporary, but it may be the small joys of life that ultimately keep us sane... if we can only recognize them for what they are.

Great things that have happened to you, good friends that can draw you outside of yourself when you're down, someone special that has touched your life, good health, the love of a child, the love of the person you waited a lifetime to find, healthy relationships with your partner...

Count your blessings here...
 
Today, I was thankful for these things...

One Lit friend sent a note that made me smile during a stressful day. I'm thankful that this friend took the time to write, aware that I was having a rough day.

Another Lit friend sent a note that touched my heart. I'm thankful that I can be a friend.

Last, but not least, I'm thankful for the opportunity to have received a bedtime hug and kiss from my pre-teen daughter, who doesn't give kisses to her Mom very often now because it's not cool. :)

These things may sound minor, but together they managed to reshape the mood that clouded my day... something positive.

What are you thankful for today?
 
Good afternoon, Arden ...

Thankful ... hmmmm ...

That my two boys are chilled, healthy, actively sporty, successful ..
That after two years I am no longer alone ...
That I have enough interests to keep me going ...
That my eyesight is A1
 
I am forever thankful that I know, beyond any doubt, that I am the source of all my problems, and that I have a soultion for that....

Sitting down and writing a gratitude list is a good assignment for personal awareness....and add to it as you become aware of more items to add....if you are lacking some, start with the basics of food, clothing and shelter....do you have eyes that see, ears that hear, fingers that type, hands that work, and feet that walk?....if so. don't be an ingrate.....it has no appeal!!!

Great idea, Arden....be grateful you're an artist, too....
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

I am thankful to be breathing the air of each new day.
I am thankful to have a mind, to help me to solve Life's every day problems, big and small.
I am thankful to have a heart, to love and cherish those close to me: my children, airborne92, and my family.
I am thankful to have a strong spirit, which spurs my mind and heart to NEVER GIVE UP! :)

What am I thankful for?
Life, health and happiness..what more can you want to have a good life?

Arden..I totally...TOTALLY promise to not post any suggestive remarks...such things like::::: I am thankful that women have breasts, that they like sex and that they do dress to please and excite us lesser side of the human race ;)

No love, I promise NOT to post anything of that nature :)

You hit the nail on the head, this is precisely what I wanted to make people think about. Waking up in the morning is something to be thankful for, as are the very basics that you've mentioned. It's so easy to dwell on your problems than to look at everything that you have been blessed with. I love it when someone draws me out of myself on a bad day, and I enjoy being able to do this for others...
 
I am thankful for:

for being alive and well
for having a job of sorts (though I want to get a whole
new one)
for being able to take time off this week for a
vacation, which is well-needed
for friends in r/l and on Lit that are there for me

Now Ukin, we all KNOW what you want...

However, there's no reason to not be thankful for sex, and the joy it can bring to your life. Human creatures are a funny lot, and since our bodies were given the capability to enjoy sex, why not do just that?

PS. Don't you know that women dress to impress other women? The guys know nothing about fashion, only the bare necessities...

Why, thank you, dear....it's not original....someone had to club my head to make me see it....we cannot see until we can see....if you're ever having a bad day, let me know, and we'll discuss it....I could make you glad you broke your arm - almost....keep up the good work - you have the right idea....and keep doing for others, too - you'll be the winner in that equation, too....thanks, again
 
I have many things to be grateful for in my life, but at the top of the list is the love i give and receive from my children and wife. If I had nothing else, these would sustain me through any trial I might have. Other things that I am grateful for are my country, my friends and(surprisingly) my job. I may not have much in material things, but I don't think that they're all that important. It's what's inside that matters.
 
Thankful?

I'm thankful for so many things. Right at this very moment I'm thankful for being home. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again. I've missed it.

Hi poundemin,

I was really touched by what you wrote... if everyone could see the world through your eyes, and experience the love that you share, this world would be such a better place...
