Tell me what you’re grateful for.

In the immediate moment I’m grateful for a temporary pause in the brutal heat and humidity we’ve been experiencing in the south this past couple weeks. Heat indexes 108-110 and humidity that has felt like I’m breathing underwater. 😖

It enabled me to spend the afternoon outside, weeding and pruning and generally tidying up my small front garden and pots of flowers. It’s still hot, but bearable. 💐

More generally, I am always and forever grateful for my family, who are there when I need them, my soft place to fall, my best friends, and my staunchest supporters. ❤️

I'm grateful I have a nice home, in a nice relatively crime free area... ..I'm grateful to have been born in the UK.... ..

I'm grateful for God's special gift to me in my beautiful smart, clever , hard working daughter...

I'm grateful that I have all working limbs, and no critical or serious illnesses.. *touch wood*

I'm grateful that I ever got to 70 years old given my horrible first 20 years....of life...

I'm grateful for the good friends I've made on this forum over 12 years , and grateful to @Matrix for keeping it going all these years
 
I'm truly grateful for my parents raising me to never want to be anybody but myself.

For all of the curveballs life has thrown at me, I've never for a second wanted to be anybody but me.

I've tried to instill this into my twin girls as the years have flown by. You're both awesome...don't ever wish you were anybody else.
 
I've got a lot of things to be grateful / thankful for but first and foremost I'm grateful that I've got a absolutely fantastic woman that loves me.....we've been together for over 49 years and I can't imagine life without her.
if I had stayed with my first husband DD's dad.. we would have been married 49 years, in one weeks' time..


Now THAT would have been a prison sentence... :eek:
 
. For my family having the fortitude to leave the country we were born in and taking us to an unknown country. It must have been scary
for them but they certainly made the right decision. Ever so grateful for my health and a wonderful husband who started a new life with me
after a very unhappy 1st marriage. My beautiful sons who bring joy into my heart. All the friends I have made here on S.F. I came in here into
the unknown wondering if I would fit in, you have certainly made me feel welcome.
 
I've been battling a depression that I can't seem to shake off. It's been hard to be grateful. I had a birthday last week. I am now 76. Sorry, folks, I'm just very down. Of course I know I love my son/grandson/dil; a roof over my head which I own; food to eat on the rare times I'm hungry. There is joy missing from my heart; I don't want to do anything, but I do in the hope that having routines will bring me back from the hole I fell into.

Oh, Pepper. So sorry to hear that. I hope by 'routines' you mean tactics for fighting the depression. Mine have helped me when depression tried to gain a foothold. This might be a topic for the Mental Health forum. Ways to at least keep it at bay.
