I am grateful for knowing the difference between acceptance and sweeping things under the rug, and being able to do the former.

Today I am very grateful that I can hold my temper! :explode:
Most days so am I.
When I cannot, I am grateful that I can say I'm sorry.0 -
Today I am grateful that I found the kind of husband that when I break my car to the tune of hundreds of dollars he takes it to the shop for repairs and says that the guy just said that that part was due to give out, NOT that I had anything to do with it overheating by taking it out in nearly 100 degree weather and driving uphill in standstill traffic.
I'm pretty sure that hard driving of it pushed the weakened part over the edge but he would just rather not play the blame game and I think he's smart enough to know that I already learned my lesson and paid dearly for my mistake. Well, now we both did.
But yeah, I'm thankful for having that kind of husband. Today that means a whole lot to me.

I am grateful that I didn't have anything pressing today since I didn't feel up to dealing with anything major.
I am grateful that there are hard working men/women out there that make my daily life easier. For example the trucker who hauls the food I eat, the postal worker who delivers my mail, the salesperson that takes my order over the internet/phone. My internet provider so I can log my food and exercise on MFP.
I am grateful for the new friends and community that have helped/advised me along the path of healthy living. :flowerforyou:0 -
Today I am grateful for the fact that my 17 year old son told me that he wants me to stay on my diet even though it means I'm *****ier sometimes. I grateful to be able to stay with the program even though I had a "bad day" emotionally.0

I'm grateful for a very challenging career that positively impacts the lives of so many and helps me directly contribute to a better community.0 -
Today I am thankful for nature doing what is supposed to do no matter what,
birds flying and chirping without complaining,
trees reaching for the sky rain or shine,
crickets and cicadas serenading at night (right now, so loud :-)...
the only deviations from the original plan in nature are due to human interventions.
I'll take it as a reminder... while I love to be a change agent wherever I go, need to make sure that I stay connected to the earth, my history, and my roots, and very much in community with those around me -seek my own original purpose, what makes me ME.
Some things don't ever need to change, and that is good.0 -
Today I am grateful for the ability to direct my own learning based on my own interests and the growth that comes from that.

I am grateful that no matter how hard things get, and despite everything we have been going through and no matter how angry we are, the last thing my husband says to me before leaving for work, and before I fall asleep every night is I love you.0

I'm grateful for the time and place in which I live. I am one of the few of billions of people (past and present) on this planet who have lived a safe and comfortable life. No matter what happens in my future I know I have been extraordinarily blessed. I am also extremely grateful to have this awareness. It's absolutely priceless.

Go for it! As someone who was immature enough at 20 to marry an immature man of 20, married for 20 years and then emigrated to be dumped 3 years later for a younger model and left unsupported with two sons under 15, I'm grateful I learnt the errors of my ways!I'm grateful that I'm thin enough now to attract men. But it's a shame they're all old men.
Someone my own age showing some interest would be nice.0 -
