To quote a line from the VeggieTales song... "Because a thankful heart is a happy heart..."
ARe you happy? What are at least 5 things that you give thanks for everyday? They can be silly, serious, loving-- whatever!
My top 5 are...
1.My family... DH and my children. I would be lost without their love.
2.The sunshine.
3.Warm breezes on cool days.
4.Running water.
5.Bananas & carrots. They are the quick easy Healthy snack that my kids love!

She's one of my favorites as well. I also love Petunia, the Rhu-Barbarian. LOL! Just the thought of her name makes me chuckle! I guess Big Idea should be another thing I'm grateful for!
I'm also grateful for mylot... helping me meet great people like yourself. :)

Hmmm...what I am thankful for.
1. My children...which, I have seven of them. And they are truly my life.
2. Our house...my partner lost his job last year and we could have lost our house had he not been able to find another job as quickly as he did. It was two months...but I am grateful!!!
3. My camera...I love photography so much! I am grateful that I can take so many pictures and capture so much of my and others lives.
4. Air Conditioning!!!! I am so crabby when I am hot. And I do not like being cranky. So, I am and I am sure others are grateful for AC! LOL
5. My best friend/sister/twin soul...She is one of the best! She means the world to me and I am so grateful to have her a part of my life!

What am I thankful for everyday?
1 - my health and the fact that I can function on my own
2 - my strength and ability to deal with anything
3 - my family and friends and our unconditional love for each other
4 - having a roof over our heads, food in our tummys and clothes on our backs
5 - not having to struggle to survive

This is a very good question!
Sometimes we often take everything for granted...thinking that we are in charge of our lives, when we are really just a small part of a huge universe.
I thank our God for so many things that it is hard to narrow it to just 5...but I will try.
1. I thank God for my life. For giving me the opportunity
to live on this earth, for it was he that allowed this.
2. I thank God for my parents, for he chose them
and they passed down the charactericts that
gave me some of the talents and characteristics
that I now have.
3. I thank God for my beloved husband, whom I met while
working, so insignificant..but to become the love of
my life, my soul mate and partner for what little
time he gave us.
4. I thank God for the twin children that my late husband
were given....we never tried, and never expected \
that we could be so blessed.
5. I thank God that although he had to take my
husband, and their father away at an early age of 7,
that he continues to be a vital part of our lives and
that we all know that we will meet with our loved ones
when the time comes
God Bless everyone who reads all of these messages...and I will personally post a plus to each one!

I am a very grateful human.
I have a lot more than 5 things though.
But I guess I'll list the top 5 I feel are the most important to me.
This is my list....
1) I am grateful for my higher power
2) I am grateful for my 16 years of sobriety
3) I am grateful for a happy family life
4) I am grateful to be able to be my fathers caregiver now
5) I am grateful for all the wonderful friends in my life
Thanks for a great discussion also.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
