I am so grateful for a long weekend. I am getting most of my "to do" list done today so I can have relaxing 2 days. Really looking forward to that, I might even go the pool!

I am grateful to have found a new church that is uplifting and inspiring and full of good messages for today.

And I am grateful for the other "house of God" called nature, where I connect and just soak in the beauty that surrounds me and it all brings me peace.

Sunny day and warm, a perfect Sunday.

Count me in for 30 days of gratitude.

Today I’m grateful for a home, food, family, and dogs.

Welcome, Atlast, so glad you joined us.

Grateful for new members here and a gardener is even better.

Also grateful that PJ shared his lovely drive photo. The hills of Adelaide look wonderful.

Thanks Ann. Today I’m grateful for ibuprofen for this terrible kink in my neck (ouch!), the gift of self awareness, and the ability to make and sustain change.

Welcome Atlast.

I am so grateful for a relaxing weekend although I spent way too much
money. (couldn't resist the shoe sales)

I am also grateful that I continue to stick it out at my fairly new (5 months) job. I recently found out there were many before me who, for whatever reasons, didn't stay long. There are so many parts of this job I really like and I love how it continues to challenge me.

Lastly, I am grateful for my new friend. When we went to dinner over the weekend, I insisted on paying for myself....because we are just friends and that's what friends do.

Good morning. Today I am grateful for living in a safe neighborhood, morning talks with my pre-teen, and emotional stability.

I am grateful that my big boss really liked one of my suggestions and she is moving forward with it. I am grateful that she "thanked" me for coming to her with it. I am happy that things are finally "clicking" for me at work. There is so much to learn, at times I still feel overwhelmed but I am glad I no longer feel incompetent.

P.s. I had my first ripe tomato and when I when to take it off, I discovered "something" got to it first. It was eaten on the backside. Little stinkers, lol.

I was forced to go on a 3hour detour in the hills today. Grateful for that.

Today I'm grateful for a comfortable bed, a calm, safe house, and quiet time to reflect.

PJ, that would make a lovely painting. I would love to ride shotgun on your drives, even though they are half way around the world.

LMN, I am so glad that the job is panning out for you, it may not be forever but the experience will see you far and your perseverance will pay.

Atlast, a safe and calm place to call home is everything.

Anaya, thinking of you.

I am grateful that that birds sing, each in their own special way. Even my mallards (they visit each day) have a wonderful call they make when they see me now. The crow's harsh "CAW" is a warning to all critters that danger is near, saving them from the lovely fox that likes to wander through but who doesn't bother my birds as he heads to the river. The singing birds are just background, lovely to listen to before the dawn breaks.

Happy weekend everyone.

Grateful for nature...take a moment, turn your sound on, and just relax and listen to the birds.

I am grateful for the end of a tiring week, and for three days ahead to find my peace in nature.

Good Morning. Today I am grateful for time off, my dogs, and being able to provide for my family and myself. All of our basic needs are met - that lays the foundation for everything else.

I am grateful for night rains and daytime sunshine, it got me out of the house and out of myself today and into a lovely day in nature.

Tomorrow another adventure awaits, one where we rise early and watch the sunrise as we head north to lovely places we haven't seen for far too long now.

Happy weekend grateful people.

Today I am grateful for nature, good friends, and cooking out on the grill. It was a good day filled with laughter and friendship. I felt happy, peaceful, and calm. I’m truly grateful to feel this way.
