    Today I am grateful and I respect and appreciate people who do physical labour for a living. Because I know that it would kill me if I had to do it.
    I am grateful that I have a comfortable life, when I know others do not.
    I am grateful that my life is not as stressful as it once was.
    I am grateful that I have everything that I require to survive and be happy and healthy.

    I'm grateful that I am home after a long day and able to write to my mfp friends. Not feeling great today but will be able to rest tomorrow. Grateful to find a seniors group on mfp. Grateful that my son has good virtual friends (a gaming and skyping group) and is making new friends IRL in his new school classes. Glad that Friday is payday. Grateful to be alive and in relatively good health. Grateful to live in a developed country that is not at war and not dealing with ebola. Grateful to have lost 10+ pounds with mfp.

    I'm grateful that I am losing weight slow but surely. I am grateful for diet pals on mfp. I'm grateful that one of my buddies reminded me that part of my motivation for losing weight and getting in shape is to have the energy and strength to visit places on my bucket list and to begin plein air painting (painting outdoors) something that I don't really have energy to do right now. Made some SMART Goal lists today and grateful when I remember to apply some of the good things I try to teach my students to my life as well.

    Today I am grateful for finally having a little more energy to get things done. Spending time with my son and that he is off the prescription pain-killer and feeling better. That I can wear my 18 rather than 18W pants.

    Today & am very grateful that my sister is letting me use her laptop since my iMac crashed yesterday and needs to be serviced and hopefully fixed. I'm also very grateful that I found the motivation to get off my butt and do 15 miles on the stationary bike. I am also very grateful for the many wonderful friends & have met on MFP and for how helpful and caring they have been since my journey started.

I'm grateful I made progress on some of my art projects. I'm grateful for mfp pals.

    Today I am grateful that I have all the supplies for the workshop and think I've narrowed down the photo I want to work from for the workshop. This week is already jetting by. Grateful to be going to a workshop with a teacher I've followed online for a long time. I'm excited about learning the "paper painting" technique. I've always like collage and mosaics. I grateful that Patrick is on the mend. I'm grateful the my cat Sylvie finally learned how to use the pet drinking fountain I bought for her. Yesterday I thought she would never learn. Not sure where my other cat is with it but she is no longer asking my son to pour water for her.
