    Today I am grateful that I found a car body shop who I trust to get my car fixed and will help me with the ins and outs of insurance. I'm grateful that my son didn't freak out when I told him we need to change things up so I can get a new job by him taking the city bus to school. I know I spent years taking the bus as a student (college and high school) and it's not that bad. I'm grateful for friends, I'm grateful that I am slowly but surely losing weight.

    I’m grateful for the MFP site.

    I’m grateful for my friends who have lost incredible amounts of weight and motivated me to do better.

    I’m grateful for all of the free advice and help offered here.

    I’m grateful for the support and for the self-respect & pride that I now have in myself because of my success.

    I’m grateful for the chance to fix a relationship that I thought was over, that means more to me than anything else I could possibly have.

    I am grateful that the teachers in my province are voting on their new contract today, and the strike will likely end. This means that I will be able to go back to work tomorrow after being off since June 17th. Yay! This also means that my youngest will be going to her first day of highschool very soon, and I am very excited for her.

    Today I am grateful for mfp. I have met some really great people here since July. I'm grateful for Tracy and Frances and Patty and Dasher and merrygrannie and Deborah and Katrina. Thanks for being there! I'm grateful that it's Friday and I don't have to set an alarm for tomorrow morning. I am grateful to have the house to myself tonight although I also miss my son who is at his dad's. I'm grateful for a summery day today. I am grateful for art inspiration and my artist friends.

    Today I am grateful that I feel crappy. Yep you read it right. I am grateful that I feel crappy, because last night I indulged in a bunch of "junk" food all at one time and I am paying the piper. Having some sort of less healthy choice food is ok, however to eat it all at once is not worth how I am feeling today. So this is the silver lining of my dark cloud.
    Today I am grateful that I can veg and rest and recoup, so that I can be stronger and more determined tomorrow.
    I am also grateful that I am able to feel confident and comfortable enough to be open and honest with my MFP friends about my situation and that they in kind are open and honest with me in their responses.
