Feeling Grateful...

I thought I would take a minute to start a thread about the things we feel grateful for. I see a lot of sad comments on this forum about depression and not being happy. So, I thought maybe this might be a good exercise for all.

Right now, I'm feeling so grateful to be married to my best friend in the whole world. Having found true love is the greatest blessing of my life!

I'm so grateful for my children. They are inspiring and a source of joy each and every day!

I'm so grateful for my business even if it is stressful at times keeping me up way too late (like now).

I'm so grateful for my friends. I have the best there are.

I'm grateful for my relationship with God.

I'm grateful for diet cherry pepsi which has kept me on my diet helping me lose 20 pounds in the last 3 months and to be getting close to pre-baby-body WOO HOO!

I'm thankful for the lovely sunshine we've had lately and that our state is not humid like AUSTIN, which I visited last weekend.

I'm so very grateful for forums like this that allow me wonderfully needed distractions and enables me to procrastinate at almost 2am when I'm up against a deadline!

I'm grateful for the friendships that can be formed online!

I'm grateful for belly dancing, my newest addiction.

I'm grateful to have a healthy body that allows me to take care of my family and enjoy the world I live in.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to write and share that gift with the world.

I'm grateful for the internet which provides me countless blessings!

I'm grateful for other writers who inspire me on a regular basis.

I'm so grateful for freedoms I all too often take for granted.

I'm grateful for my life. It's not perfect, but it's me and I'm happy. :0)
