Grateful a church dropped off a Christmas food box
A man delivered it with 2 youngsters along
It reminded me of helping my Mom do the same when I was a kid.

Grateful I passed it along to an AA family of 3.
Plus I added a few hings ..shampoo and such....

It makes me smile so big to hear about everyone's gratitude.

I'm grateful for two fine church services today. A traditional one in the morning with a choir and orchestra for Christmas, and an evening rock & roll service.

Grateful that I can leave my company's financial issues behind when I leave at the end of the day. I didn't create them, I don't need to carry them on my shoulders.

Thank you for that reminder, Astro. I think far too much about the economic situations of the companies I work for.

I´m grateful for getting the Christmas shopping done.

Grateful for having the guts to speak to two banks today.

Grateful for the new projects I got today.

Grateful for having a financial trust fund I could dip in today for Christmas presents.

I'm grateful that I can take on one thing at a time rather than too much at once. I'm slowly getting my garage cleaned out, sold two bed frames on craigslist yesterday. Nice!

Good for you, Astro.

Grateful for a very successful Christmas party. We even screened a movie.

Grateful for good friends and all the Christmas cards.

Grateful that I finished cleaning the house today. Yes!

We Europeans except the Brits celebrate Christmas the 24th, so we have less time...

Grateful for SR.
