At the moment, I am spending a lot of time thinking about which parts of my life I am the most grateful. One of the things that I have thought of the most is my family, because I honestly feel as though they are the ones who have always been there for me for the whole of my life, and they are the ones who will be there for me in the future as well.
What about you? What is the thing that you're the most grateful for in your life? We should always make sure that tell the people that mean the most to us that we love them, because we never know when it might be the last time that we are able to see them.

Family and friends are great but I would have left them years ago if it weren't been for my guy. He gives me hope. He listens when I'm down or frustrated . He is my best friend along with being the man that loves me. Me, a pessimist perferctionist! ach day I don't do myself in is all because of him.

I think that it is amazing that you have been able to find such a nice guy who is able to help you through the hard times in your life. There are so many people who are not able to have this type of person, and who go through their entire lives just trying to find that right person and never being able to do so. It is good that your life has changed because of this guy, and I hope that the two of you are very happy together for a long time because it means that you're able to make a positive change to your own life because of him.

First of all, I have to say that I definitely agree with you that we should tell those people that we love how we feel about them because we never know when they might be torn away from us forever.
With that said, the thing in my life that I am the most grateful for is definitely my family. I've been through many tough times in my life and my family are the ones that have always been there for me during those very difficult times in my life.

I absolutely agree that you have to let those people close to you know how you feel about them, because you can never know when the last time will be that you will see them. Of course you can always hope that you will see them a lot more times, but things happen that you might not expect and if you lost them and hadn't told them how much they meant to you then this is something that I think you would really live to regret. I always tell my family that I love them every day, because I don't want them to think that I am taking them for granted.

I guess, for me, it's the day when i was born, lol! Why? probably it brought joy to my parents then, a culmination of the their love, and for me it's the first day to start of spending this sacred gift and enjoy existence as a human being. Everyday, i'm grateful to be wake up everyday, looking forward to what life has to offer for me to cherish and enjoy forever.

This is a good way of thinking about things, and I don't think that I have ever thought of being grateful for the day that I was born before but I suppose that I should be really. You are right when you say that a lot of people were made happy the day that we were born and that is certainly something that we should be trying to celebrate. Because that was the beginning of our lives the way we know them and also means that we were able to build ourselves the lives that we have enjoyed and the lives that we are proud of.

I am grateful for the breath of life God has given me and for the wonderful people that surrounds me. Oh yes, they are my family.. We may not have a perfect family and we may not be a person that has everything in this life but by appreciating even the little blessings in or life I couldn't ask for more.

Being grateful to God is wonderful, because at the end of the day He is the one who decided to allow us to live on this planet and we would not be here if it wasn't for Him. I think that being thankful for your family is something that is good as well, and I don't think that any family is perfect but it is good that we are able to accept them for who they are and also to know that we are lucky to have them. Not everybody has a family, and I am sure that they would love to be in the position that we're in whether our family are perfect or not.

I think that God is something that a lot of people are allowed to get comfort from, and I think that those who are able to get comfort in this way are very lucky to be able to do so. One of the things that many people struggle to do is to believe fully in God and this means that they would not be able to have Him fully in their life. It is good that you are able to do so and that you are grateful for it because this means that you know just how lucky you are to be able to have Him and the love that He brings in your life.

The part that hasn't happened yet, because I'm getting pretty tired of the part that has happened and keeps on happening over-&-over ... it's pleasant, yeah; but the future is so much better, for those who endure to the end.

I'm grateful for having generous people around when I really need help. My brother, who gave me financila aid at times when I was totally broke. My parents who sent me to school even when they are also in need of money. My wife who always support me in whatever path I take. I thank the person above, for all those moments in my life that I needed help one way or the other. My list is unending. I hope things will be ok for all of us here. Good luck and thanks.
