i'm grateful that we have a system of government that allows us to tell them how bad they are messing up and to step in and change what's happening. i'm also grateful for muffins.

I think I need this group. It's a good idea with all that is going on to think of at least one thing a day that I am grateful for. I also look forward to reading the rest of the post.
My number one thing ( although I think he would be offended if I could him a thing) would be my husband who treats me like the princess I am . I mean really , who else would put up with my antics.

I am going to have to dig deep today for something to be grateful but here it goes. I am grateful for my beagle Annie who not so long ago was really ill. She is back to her healthy neurotic self and as I type this very moment she is sitting on my feet keeping them warm.

oh that's a good thing, ericka! it was one of those days, wasn't it? but there's always something. i'm really grateful for small things today that are not small at all. fresh bread. hot tea. heat. blank paper and a pen that works. stuff like that.

I am grateful today that I had 3 days in a row that I have energy and finally a positive look for the future....instead of pretending in order to get from one day to the next!

I am grateful that my sore throat seemed to be a passing thing. Usualy not a big deal but everyone at work has been sick and I am going on a long trip very soon . I did not want to be sick and jetlagged.

i'm incredibly grateful for heat this morning after having to be without it due to a broken heater for a short period of time!!! you can't take heat for granted on a cold winter day in the northeast! i'm also soooo grateful that Congresswoman Gabby Giffords opened her eyes among friends...and demonstrated health beyond expectation!

I'm so grateful to Target for donating journals to my 2011 Donation-Give Away Journal Project. On my way now to go pick them up. Thank you, God, thank you!

Jan 13, 2011

i'm grateful for you guys telling the things you're grateful for! why? because it lifts my spirits!!!! lillian, that's WONDERFUL about target! how'd you get that to happen???

Jan 13, 2011
Lillian Gaffney

Yes Lisa, it is wonderful that stores like Target are so supportive to such worthy causes. A lot of our big chain stores are supportive of educational and artistic works. Simple show up in person & ask to speak to the HR person or manager...give your business card... and a formal letter head expressing your cause...you know the details of intention, objective, etc. Lots will say go speak to corporate or they will for you and get back to you. Some say flat out they do not donate. This is a good one for your marketing section. LOL L. Hope this helps others.

i'm STILL so grateful for the heat! and i'm grateful for the help i'm getting in a new project....and for the ability to do the project!

Grateful for solitary drives in the car with great music on full blast. It's these little things in between the BS we all deal with on a daily basis that get us through.

i'm so grateful today for the simplest of things. japan is suffering so much as is every country hurt by this tsunami. water, food, clean clothes are so hard for them to find. i'm so grateful just for clean water to drink and some food and shelter. it's everything. may God bless those people and help us to help them!

With all the tragic events happening in the world, I am more than grateful for all that I have: a loving husband, a beautiful daughter, my parents, my siblings and other close family that I love so very much!! I have a home, food, clothes, my time & talents to give back, and most of all, my faith in God that He is there in this time of need!

I am grateful that I am finding alternative healers who are MDs to help me regain my health. For the past 6 months since my heart attack, my only options have felt like get off all my meds and die....or take them and die...but more slowly.

Friends and music have kept me alive.

I guess that's plenty to be grateful for.

Apr 5, 2011

i'm grateful you are finding loving and holistic thinkers and healers, sherry! your health is important to us!!!

I am so grateful that I can have an hours long conversation with a Kenyan friend working to preserve wildlife where he lives and remembering that there is so much more that unites us than divides us.

So grateful for being able to get away with my family and enjoy the full bounty of spring. A lesson on history was another plus. Sometimes we need to charge those tired batteries, and not worry about a thing but fun. Family, laughter, great food, and an amazing place to tour-makes me very thankful indeed!
