NL and Hev, I have a soft, old shirt that I just love too, but it is also getting little holes in it, but I'm probably still going to wear it for a while! Grateful for that red shirt.
Sending love and prayers to our dear Rusty. Hope you're resting and feeling better.
So grateful for all of you and to read your uplifting posts.
Love and peace to all.

I wear my clothes into rags, and my son's too -- the ones that are already too ragged for him to wear to work

Grateful for 100% cotton.

My idea is that if I look like a ragamuffin I won't have to worry about how to politely decline when the Queen asks me to tea

Grateful to have done my ranting and moved on.

Grateful after a rough afternoon at the vet's, where my mom's car stopped. Grateful 3 A got it started and we got it to the mechanics this morning. Grateful for my little car that I always say I haven't bonded with it, but it's been there for me when I have needed it. Maybe I am bonding with it out of gratitude. Grateful for the things I sometimes take for granted.
Grateful for your posts.
Grateful for Rusty's appetite too! Hope your dinner was good! Prayers to you, dear one.
Love and peace to all.

Grateful to finally make it here. It’s morning somewhere!
Aly,sorry about your morning and hope it gets better
RZ, glad you made it here. Thinking good thoughts for you
least, was just thinking about how I love your signature too. I’ve thought about what I would do if I lost everything and realized I’d rather live in my car with my cogs than in my house without them.
PS, ditto to everything you said except for the dog walking since I don’t have dogs. I wish my cogs would go for walks with me 🐱 😊
Buttermarsh, glad you have found the meaning of life. I found it around the time I got sober and I still hold it close to me. I need reminders
Grateful for my old comfy clothes too. Certainly not shopping for any new clothes for now
Grateful to have a good cry with a friend over a phone call. Grateful to learn I am not the only one who puts up a good appearance that everything is fine when in reality I’m having anxiety off the charts over our current pandemic, what the future holds and many other things. Grateful for a story my friend shared about a good man she knew who had millions and lost it all twice due to circumstances not in his control and how he now lives in an RV with his wife surrounded by nature, and keeps a positive attitude about his life and family.
Grateful to reconcile my feelings over both gratitude and guilt for what I have, sadness over losses I’ve experienced and gratitude that things aren’t worse.
Grateful for this special place where I can share my thoughts without judgement. You all mean so much

Grateful for this group, some of us in our rags and tatters
Grateful Fearless got to let the guard down with a friend.
Grateful Aly survived the rough afternoon at the vet.
Grateful for my family. They are my moral compass, my other refuge, and of course also people who drive me absolutely insane.
Grateful to have a generally open mind.
Grateful for this day.
