I heard some news that just angered me, and I can't share it. Please lets count the blessing in our lives so we can salvage the day ahead.

I am grateful for my husband and his job that is paying our bills.
I am grateful that my husband has very kind heart.
I wish my husband would be a little more selfish, and less willing to dedicate himself to others outside our family.
I am grateful for having my health.
I am grateful for loosing 112 lbs and only gaining 2 lbs since then.

Please share what you are grateful for in this uplifting thread.

    all these things we are thankful for, are mostly small and we take for granted everyday.
    Thank you very much for reminding me.

    Great post. I think that regardless of who we are or what we believe, it's easy to get caught up in whatever misfortune faces us. I do it all the time and it's great to have a reminder to focus on what great things we DO have.

    I am thankful for:

    ~ being able to see my aunt the night before she passed away, last Tuesday.
    ~ my family, who always pull together and become stronger for our struggles.
    ~ my fiancee who only wants to see me happy but will still sit next to me and hold me while i cry.
    ~ my own health and the fact that i am in control of it, without being unhealthy in the mind or body.
    ~ that i have fought my demons and won by beating anorexia, especially.
    ~ having a job.

    These are just the beginning of my "thankful for" list!
