    Aw, grateful? A bunch of things. I've got a suggestion, though. I LOVE the idea of doing this on a daily basis (see also the "what have you done today to make you proud" thread and how terribly successful it is). So what I wanna do is post here what I feel grateful for on a daily basis.

    i am glad u like this. it adds to my awareness of my happy makers!:smile:
    i post in the "proud" thread too. :flowerforyou:

    9. My parents who put up with me while I was rebelious and thought I knew it all during my teen years, which seem mild compared to some of today's rebels.

    Robin, you must get up early! It's almost 9am here, I'm in the central time zone. What time is it for you?
    I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing day in your clean house. I usually keep Fridays mostly relaxing but I will need to do some laundry and sucking up of dog fur today.

    Today I am grateful that no matter what happens God is in control and he provides for our needs.

    For the birds outside that bring joy and peace to my heart. And remind me that God provides.

    For my husband who after 15 years of marriage I love more than the day we got married.

    Good Morning! (though it's almost afternoon here)

    I'm grateful for Saturday Mornings sitting in bed and I don't have anything I have to do today except make dinner later.

    For warmer temps outside and a fresh blanket of snow that looks so beautiful

    That I feel better than yesterday. Emotionally we are on a roller coaster. I pray God will continue to strengthen us and give us peace.

    I'm grateful to Robin for starting this thread.:flowerforyou: It helps me to remember I have much to be thankful for.

    I'm grateful each day I see sunshine!! I'm like a flower when the sunshines no matter what the temp out.

    I'm greatful for the wonderful special of group of friends I've made here on MFP that take me as I am and accept me no matter what.

    I'm grateful for learning so much about life's lessons from some of the very same ladies, my heart is awakening because of their kindness.

    I'm grateful to be getting healthier and healthier each and every day and feeling stronger as I work my body the way it was intended to move.

    I'm grateful that I now know where to go here on MFP if I'm knocked down by a troll:sick: ...I didn't used to know my safe places here...thankfully now I know who my true friends are...I thank God for that awareness now...tough road until I figured it out though:huh: :cry: :noway:

    Well I keep a gratitude journal so most all of it goes into that each night (as it's less risky than leaving it out in the open here) (yup feeling vulnerable on here again due to some recent issues:cry: ) at the end of my day...but thought I'd jump on here as Robin asked me to.

    Have a beautiful Day all:flowerforyou:

    I do this on an online gratitude journal. ButterBeeHappy.com It's really nice because it will send you reminders to post something that you are grateful for every day. It's a great way to remember to be grateful even when things aren't going your way :smile:

    Thanks that sounds like a good for your soul kinda thing to do daily. Our mental fitness is as important if not more important as our physical well being when it comes to being successful at this.

    :heart: Having a God who loves me and gives me strength.
    :heart: My coworkers for understanding I am eating healthy and not offereing me junk to temp me especially Gena who let me borrow her HRM to get my true calories when I exercise and is such a great help for fitness questions and never makes me feel dumb when I ask.
    :heart: My sisters for going through everything with me especially Pam who is also my best friend.
    :heart: Having a good job when so many do not.
    :heart: Having a body that gets me through the day and that I am learning to love as it is!:heart:

    I am greatful that I live in a country where I can go to church and worship God
    That it is finally warmer out! It's actually up to 21F!!
    That I have a treadmill (I love being outside but winter here is to cold, to icy and just not safe for walking or running)

    Robin, that's funny about your dog! Mine would probably have run in the other direction. She's afraid of rabbits! She was chasing one last summer and she ran into our well pipe and caught on one of the bolts. She ended up with about a 4in gash. Had to bring her in for stitches, she spent the night. Had to go back for a couple of check ups, get the stitches out. She has not chased a rabbit since. She only looks at them now.
