I'm grateful for my life! To be planning a new school year for my wonderful daughter, that we will be able to share together!! To be able to work in our home rather than outside it! Everyday is a new adventure--doors to be opened, places to go, things to learn!! Enjoying the 'everyday' and feeling very blessed!!

well i'm grateful that i had an ice cold milkshake nearby when i slammed my finger against (not in, don't worry) a window frame. i iced it right away, and it's seeming to be ok so far. there was some cussing involved, though. but the milkshake was the hero. and for that, i'm grateful! :-)

I love reading about everyone's gratitude. There is so much to be grateful for and allowing ourselves a moment to feel that gratitude is beautiful food for our souls. Today, I am filled with gratitude (as always!) for the opportunity to play with my 2 year young grandson.We had an absolutely amazing day!

I am grateful for having access to first rate health services. In the space of less than a week, I've had an eye infection diagnosed and successfully treated, as well as strep throat diagnosed and on its way outta here.

i LOVE all the gratitude shared here too. and i really love you guys. i don't mean to sound sappy, but you are a very bright spot in my day, and i'm so grateful for all of you. helen, i'm so glad you are getting treated and getting better. strep hurts. so do eye things. out out infections!

i'm so grateful that so few things and people were hurt in today's earthquake. we here are so unprepared for anything like that. i'm grateful for the warning so that our authorities might think about better ways to prepare for emergencies. and i'm grateful for the most beautiful weather today. windows open, breeze blowing in. meaningful work. people to love.

I'm grateful for the beautiful evening and the knowledge that the East Coast made it through this crazy little quake today!!

Tomorrow is Veronica's last Nature Class for the summer!! So grateful for finding the class, for the teacher, and now good friend Nicole, for sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with my daughter!! What a blessing it is to have such wonderful people come into to my life and share so much of themselves!!

Everyone here is making me smile and remember when I knew I was pregnant because I would get strep really bad!

So, tonight, I may seem a bit shallow but I am grateful for my Peroni Nastro Azzurro! Liquid relaxation!

i'm really grateful for so much this morning. i'm particularly grateful for matthew and all the wonderful wiffle peeps who checked on how things were during this hurricane. it helped more than i can express. i'm grateful for sound bricks and higher ground. i'm grateful for electricity and water. i'm grateful for batteries and cell phones. i'm grateful for the dedication of our REAL workers in this country who go out in storms and put electrical wires back together in adverse conditions. REAL workers who dig people out of flash floods. REAL workers who evacuate people. REAL workers who check on the community. i'm grateful for anyone who has the heart to check on the more vulnerable among us.
