So with these uncertain circumstances going on it is hard to see the good in life sometimes.

I'd like you to share with us what you are grateful for today and why.....


I'm grateful for the rain this morning and the the sunshine this afternoon. My garden definitely needed both.

Who's next? 😊

    I'm grateful for my brain and for my heart that operate sufficiently around the clock. They are two organs that amaze me and I wouldn't be here today without either one. I love you, brain. I love you, heart.

    I'm grateful that one full cup of chocolate milk only contains 7 grams of oxalate.

    I am grateful to have gotten to talk to my two grandmothers today that are in their mid 80's and 1 is 90.

    They both called me today and are safe and healthy.
    That really is something to be grateful for.

    I thought about my grandmother yesterday and got sad. She died before her time when I was a teenager. I still miss her dearly. I wish I could see her again if only for a few minutes.

    God bless the elderly and kudos to everyone who are looking out for our elderly during these times.

    I'm very blessed to have them still here. They both are still living on their own and we check in with each other a few times a week.

    1. The ability to work with my hands to create amazing things, even if I think they're crap (sometimes).

    Very true, I often don't remember my gifts and talents to be grateful for. Thanks for the reminder.

    So you are an artist I assume?

    If you want to share please do.... I am intrigued.

    I'm grateful

    that my friends and family are safe and sound today from the virus.

    for this roof over my head tonight and the full feeling in my stomach.

    for my health to be as good as it is today.

    for this app, I'm met some cool people here and it helps me tremendously with my new healthy lifestyle.

    I was talking to my Dad today , about being on off duty status. A fancy word for laid off. We were talking about how banks in 🇨🇦 are so graciously offering to defer mortgages. Yeah, not the interest, which you will pay interest on top of once you resume payments. I jokingly said , it will be a cold day in hell before I ever do that . If it ever came down to it, I'd borrow the money from you to pay them .

    He said , if I needed it, he'd just give me the money 🤑🤑

    It would kill me to ask for $$$ but it's nice knowing it's there if I need it

    So..... this dad of yours


    is he looking to adopt anytime soon ??


    ( I'm asking for a friend. )

    5am ribeye & freshly ground espresso beans were quite nice.

    Listening to long, YTube audiobooks is keeping me sane. Listened to Joan Rivers read her own book yesterday & today, it's the 10-hr audio of Henry Bushkin's book on Johnny Carson. I'm grateful to whomever uploads them.

    Gratitude for fresh running water

    Some people don't have it. I wash my hands 11 times a day with it.

    Really blew me away thinking about that today while rinsing pizza grease off my hands.

    Still wouldn't drink it, but very grateful to have it for other practical methods.

    God bless water period
