ONE thing you're grateful for...

[Bretrick]

Grateful that I was born in Australia.
When I look at other countries, many of them, no, most of them have a far higher percentage of poverty.
Australia's poverty rate is still too high at 12.4% but there are 187 countries with a worse poverty rate.

ONE thing you're grateful for...​

My woman
Every moment

God gave her to me

Gave me purpose
Turned me from a waste filled life

 

[HazyDavey]

Having wonderful friends. Many are gone now but I will always carry their memories with me.

 

[Mr. Ed]

Today, I'm grateful for the opportunity to understand and explore the vast array of human experiences and emotions. This connection allows me to grow, learn more about the world, and hopefully make it a slightly better place by sharing experiences of kindness, honesty, and self-awareness.

Showoff

 

[Mr. Ed]

Grateful for who I am, being other people did not work out for me.

 

[Lewkat]

To be alive on this lovely day.

Nature, and all it's beauty.

My beautiful daughter, the most caring, thoughtful, loving girl any mother could wish for

 

[Pepper]

I think I'm grateful I woke up this morning. I think so, not totally sure.

 

[StarSong]

I'm grateful for the generous forgiveness family, friends, acquaintances, SFers, and total strangers have shown me for my many trespasses in this lifetime, and I work hard to do the same for others. Including folks on this forum.

Sometimes I can be a bit of a bull in a china shop (so I understand when someone else missteps) and am so thankful when folks who walk with greater caution show me unearned kindnesses.

 

[Gary O']

unearned kindness

Is huge
....and all too rare

 

[JBR]

It's hard to narrow it down from many things I feel grateful for. But since I received another heartwarming email from my daughter...

Her mom chose to leave when she was 21/2, but I've always felt truly grateful for the relationship Sally & I have had since her birth.

 

[MountainRa]

Grateful that I live where I do.

 

[RadishRose]

My tiny family.

 

[HoneyNut]

Grateful for the new friend I went to a botanical garden with today.

 

[Rossana]

I am grateful for my family, my two loving cats, and my new friends on Senior Forums. 🩷

 

[hollydolly]

I'm grateful for my Daughter. I raised her alone from age 8 when I got divorced. ..well essentially I raised her alone from birth because prior to our divorce her father was away at sea the vast majority of the time with the Royal Navy...

 

[StarSong]

This morning I'm grateful for being married to someone I laugh with every day, and can count on one hand (and still have fingers left over) the number of serious disagreements we've had.

My marriage has been the easiest aspect of my life. Before I started dating him I went through relationships at an astonishingly fast clip, so no one is more surprised than me at our 40 plus years of a very good marriage.

This AM I woke from minimal sleep and got ready for church. Despite two cups of strong tea, still didn't feel up to par-- dizzy at times, with a headache/ pressure on my head that felt like chain mail. I nearly left Mass 1/2 way through. But I took a minute to say a prayer and ask God to help me feel better so I could stay. Grateful that He said yes... Headache lifted, able to finish service with a joyful heart! =D

I bought 10 Powerball tickets and hit on 2 of them . I won a total of $8

Someone from Oregon walked off with my Powerball jackpot in the middle of the night last night.
I was going to call 911. I'm not very good hanging onto it.
Didn't even get one single number. Shoot
