I'm grateful that I have the belief that when a loved one dies that they are not taken **from** us but rather to God in a loving embrace

QueenMum, this is a fantastic idea.  Have you read "Simple Abundance"?  I think Oprah featured the book on her program.  I have yet to get throught it - it has activities in it that I haven't had time or whatever to do, and then I just feel guilty about it? so I've set it aside... BUT...One of the first thing the author says to do is start a gratitude journal.  I believe you're to write down 5 things each DAY that you're thankful for.  It's ok to repeat, especially if you've had a crappy day or something.   Anyway, it teaches us the art of gratitude, which is a blessing, and then you can always look back and see what you've written.  I started one last year, and have modified it this year; I started a diary and put something at the bottom of each day.  Anyway, this is a long-winded way of saying, ladies, try this for yourselves, maybe for 2005? and look back at all your blessings... It would also make great scrapbook material for Christmas 2005!Shoog

I am thankful that today is my last day of work for 10 whole days!   I so need some rest.   I'm also thankful that my relationship with Bud is so that I can't wait to be with him for all that time.   I'm grateful that he is in my life.I'm grateful to those people who, when I was widowed encouraged me to date again because it would not take away from the love I had/have for my late husband.   I'm thankful that my kids love Bud and he adores them.

I'm so thankful for so many things!  I'm thankful that Queen Mum had the idea to start this thread and that it has reminded so many of us to stop for a moment and remember the good things in our lives.I'm especially thankful that my daughter and granddaughter are near this year!Ginnie

[Queen Mum]

I'm thankful that I can get together with family - and very thankful that I can go home to peace and quiet! LOL

[Queen Mum]

I'm thankful for the special moments that pop up unexpectedly.Bud and I had been chatting about some things.  After a bit I said I was going to bed.    A few minutes later he came in and said that he was so happy with the communication that we have between us.    We're so lucky that we can talk about so many things.

i'm thankful that it's almost friday so i can drop my boyfriend off at the airport and begin living my life again. he's been here for 2 1/2 weeks, and i was supposed to go back to england with him, but things are not working out between us, and his trip here has been nothing short of horrible. we haven't been speaking, and it's just the two of us in my very small apartment, so i am just about ready to burst. i was really looking forward to going back overseas, but if i went it would have been horrible, and i do not handle excess stress very well. so i am thankful that these last few weeks of stress and unhappiness will be over in a few more than 24 hours.

I'm being thankful for quiet time.    I over did some housework yesterday and then had a bout with stomach flu during the night. Today is quiet.  I had thought to do some scrapbooking - but I don' thave to do anything - NOTHING. Quiet time is good.
