This is just a thread for us to post what we are grateful for today.... you can post everyday, somedays, once a month whenever.... it's up to you..... and post whatever you wish, but I ask to stay on topic, keep it positive and honest......

Today, I am grateful for Lady Sage, Sapphire (our puppy), my son, a job I love, our cats and most of all the smiles I shared with people today, strangers, clients, friends and family.......

Today, I am grateful for re-connecting with a few old friends.

My muse coming back. It's been back for the last few days, and I've been writing up a storm. It's made me very happy. While i've been in school, the concentration and such have pretty much left the muse on the back-burner, but it' only returned a few days ago, when my last day of school was the 1st of August- so it's been like 2 weeks.

I'm just really glad to have it back... I miss it when it's not here.

spectre

For the good friends I've made here.

Also, for the short trip I'm heading tomorrow. I need a few days to get away from stress I've been dealing with for a while now.

I am grateful (unbelieveably so) for the opportunity to have the job I have. It's what I've wanted to do for so long... I even more grateful that now that I have the job, I find I was right in my belief that it's a job I can do and at which I can excel.

I am grateful because today I re-connected with a strength of will that I had lost a little over a year ago. Something I will never allow to fade again. I feel like I'm myself again.

Today I am grateful that I don't feel any inner anger or resentments, that I have let go of my past and everyday is a better day.

Not many people have such a great support system.

I am greatful for my girlfriend that has stuck with me through the bad times in my life where I was unemployed and depressed, and didn't much feel like being a member of the general populace at all. She is an insperation and I love her more everyday.
And for General Tso. God Bless that man.

Today... I am greatful for my cigar. After working since 4 AM, there's nothing like relaxing with a good cigar under my redwood tree.

Today, I am grateful for the clarity and peace of mind that comes after the finalization of a hard decision.

Today.. I am greatful for my delish breakfast.

Consisiting of a 3 egg omlette with sautee'd sliced green chili, cilantro, and garlic mixed in, and 40 grams of cheddar cheese. Along with a cup of diluted Moka espresso and a 1/4 cup of coconut milk.

A meal fit for a king!

Dane Bramage

... just glad to be alive... sometimes it's the most basic things in life that are the most important.

Today has been a difficult day. But I am grateful for the love and support of my friends and family in Seattle. I am glad I had the time and opportunity to travel home for a week to be with them, and to feel a renewed sense of home. I wish I could stay here longer; I am also glad just for the land here, the mountains and ocean and everything that composes the Pacific Northwest. My foundation gives me strength to go back and take up my life far away from home, since I know that there will always be love for me here in Seattle.

Today, I'm grateful that I'm excited by my A&P textbook. It's a relief to be geeking out about the awesome illustrations and pictures.

I'm also really grateful for the awesome powers of compartmentalization.

My feather and fur-kids, parents friends and most of all my future husband who probably doesnt realize the sense of peace he gives me at night when we fall asleep together (until he snores and I go across the hall to sleep on the futon)

I need to say it again, good friends. They may not always know great they are, but I'll do my damnedest to let them know it.

I am grateful today for my friends (IRL and here: Elph, Shani, Mal, Powerclown, even Analog and so on), loved ones and Lady Sage.

I agree with Spectre, we should always let our friends know how great they are to us.

Today, as every day, I am grateful for my family, friends, health, prosperity, and God. Things may be tough at times, but we will never be given more than we can handle, even though it may feel like more than we can handle at the time.
