I have so many wonderful things in my life, so much to be greatful and thankful for. Sometimes I need to remind myself of all the things I have in my life, when I feel sorry for my self for something silly. I have my health, I woke up this morning, I have three wonderful children at home and one that has moved out. A husband that works hard to support our family and give me the things I want in life. A nice house with all the luxuries of a great neighborhood (swim tennis community) A great school district for my children A great medical community that supports me and our needs A great Church that is there for me even when I do not ask A family that is there for me no matter what. That I could put gas in my van today, even if it was raining. That I was able to have children, even if it required help and so much more.

WE ALL need to remind ourselves of how much we have to be thankful for sweety - I may not have my health but i have wonderful family and friends and 2 wonderful children as well as a partner who does all he can to look after me! You know what else? If you flip that thing over then you will see that no matter how low you get and how bad things may seem sometime there is always someone worse off than you are yourself! xxx

i appreciate your staring of a topic that allows us to count our blessings and not just the problems in life. well for me, i am most thankful that whenever i am so desperate to get out of a job i am no longer happy in, there is always an opportunity that comes up and i get hired at a better company. i am also blessed to have a loving father and grandmother who never left me and my sister, who always put our welfare as their first priority, i am thankful for understanding friends who never let me down, i am thankful for having something to eat three times a day unlike so many hungry people out there, i am thankful for a shelter that protects us from the hot sun and cold night, i am thankful that i can see, hear, talk, walk, that we are normal and we have good health, i am thankful for all the simple things that most people take for granted

You are so right, so many times we focus on the bad things in life and we forget to think of the positive. I was in such a good mood yesterday and wanted to take a minute to reflect on the good.

Same thing with me. I have LOTS and I mean lots of things that I have here in my life. And seldom do I see them. Most of the time, we people only see what bad things we have and don't even notice that we have lots of wonderful things to live for. - I am very thankful that I am still alive and breathing - - There is my family all of the time, to be with me during my uptimes and especially during my downtimes - - I have a boyfriend, who most of the time we were having this ups and downs in our relationship, but am still thankful that whatever happens, he supports me and my decisions - Those are just some of the things that I am thankful for. Words couldn't even explain those.

I am thankful for the many foods and beverages I enjoy that people have invented! I am thankful for my deep tub that makes candle lit bubble baths that much more enjoyable.

I think we do not have the right to complain since everything happens for a reason. Maybe we question sometimes our fate but we should always think that maybe this is not right for us. So everytime I do not feel good or my wish was not granted then I still say Thank you to HIM since I believe that he knows everything and he will not allow any bad thing to happen to me. Therefore, I always thank him everday for all the guidance and blessings He has given me.

I admit that there are times whenever I am not experiencing any pressures or difficulties at a certain moment of my life,I tend to forget to say thank you to God. I've come to realize that I should be thankful first of all for the life He has given to me, that I am able to wake up in the morning and breathe. I am also thankful for the people around me and for God's never ending help and guidance despite of my mistakes and shortcomings

hi meandmy3, there are so many things to be thankful of, like children, having a job, having enough money for the month, your health, My family. My family is the most important thing that I am really thankful for. Becouse without your family you have less energy to cope with things around you in the community. All the pressur and time you spend outside take a lot of time from the family, so when you can see family member, that is something to be thankful for.

hi meandmy3 There are always many things that I can Thankful in my life.Every day when up to bed,I am grateful to be given the opportunity to enjoy a day of life with children and my wife.When I feel tired and saturated with work at the office,I remember that out of this building there are a lot of unemployment and hope to have a job. And this makes me feel grateful and my spirit back. Even now, I do not have a good house and luxury equipment, this does not reduce my thankful to The Lord because what I have at this time fulfill my needs.When we compare what we have with the people more wealthy,we forgot to thank you.But if we observe around us,in fact there are many things in life that make us feel very lucky and should be grateful to God for everything.

There are also many things in my life that I am thankful for, but there are a few things that are the most important in my life. My husband and 3 wonderful kids. About a year ago I was in and out of the hospital, test after test, doctor after doctor, but the one thing that kept me going was knowing that my husband and kids were right there by my side. I couldn't have asked for more. Everytime I woke up in the hospital, tears would come to my eyes because with no doubt the first beautiful sights I saw was my husband and kids. I wanted to be scared, but they won't let me. They kept my head held high and for the rest of my life, I pray that I can know I have done the same for them.

The most important thing at i am thankful for is my parents who nurture and mold me as a what i become now. I am forever grateful to them for loving me unconditionally and teaching what is right and wrong. And most of all is our almighty god who watches us and guide us in every thing that we do.

That's always been my prayer that I would always be a grateful person. I know it's difficult to say thank you Lord if you are in some problematic situation but we can all strive to do that. Today, counting a few more hours, I'm going to write my blog entry thanking God for the 30 years that he has given me and sustained me.

I am thankful for a lot of things, but to mention a few: my health, my two beautiful daughters, my wonderful boyfriend, my family who supports me in everything, my friends, my home. There are so many things but it would be impossible to mention it all here. I am thankful for everything in my life, even the little problems that remind me that I am a human being and strong enough to deal with everything that comes my way. Only if I didn't take certain things for granted at times...
