I am grateful for my husband, who is away now and whom I miss. I am also grateful that he misses me, too.

I am grateful for birds that chirp in the warm New England summer.

I am grateful for summer camp, and getting a break from my kids, whom I also love.

I am grateful that I am able to love them all.

Gratitude

Hi, rummi here, an alcoholic. I guess I am grateful that I can still be grateful. My oldest son, Trey, committed suicide two years ago. He would have been 33 yrs old tomorrow. Boy, the pain just doesn't stop. The truly amazing thing is that I never once thought about drinking. If that's not a miracle! I was surrounded by my AA family, who walked me through the grief and still do. I made a decision 23 years ago to turn my will and my life over to God and grief comes with the territory. I've never asked why, only asked God to help me accept. I am blessed to be a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Thanks for letting me share!

rummi,
Yes, thank you for sharing! When I hear people grumbling around me, I am SO grateful that I can be grateful, too, and that I have a new level of acceptance and serenity. But...I must know. Is that a grapefruit skin on that poor kitty's head?
Love, Eddie

Cat

That's lemonhead the cat. He makes me smile all the time. However, that's a lime rind on his head. Why not limecat? I have no idea!

That must be a very tiny kitten, or a very big lime!

I am thankful that today was better than yesterday. I've had not such a great few days.

I am grateful for awareness..being able to identify what I am feeling and thinking, and taking steps to change it.
