Gratitude for my friend's giving me a gently-used pair of New Balance athletic shoes in my size PLUS a new swimsuit. Now I don't have to worry about where I'm gonna come up with the money for decent shoes. Oh, and that takes away one of my excuses about getting to the gym, LOL!

Grateful I got tons of sleep last night.

I am grateful that I have 10 hours of daylight left today, time to take on the hoard ! Never give up !

I am grateful to this board for a place to go to give thanks for what I DO have or cherish.

I am grateful to see others also posting.

I am grateful for coffee! hehe

I'm grateful that today is a new day and I don't feel as depressed as I did yesterday about the money thing. And I was able to be productive - since the weather is cool and we've had plenty of rain, I decided to go weed the garden, picking up where I left off when it got so hot and dry. I felt a sense of accomplishment.

The clutter is harder to tackle, but if I can keep the depression at bay I will be better equipped to deal with it as well.

I am grateful for the good books I have still to read.

I am so very grateful to be able to observe nature and cherish it.

Though I've had some new, still not good, realizations about my finances, I'm trying to come up with something to be grateful for. So here goes:

I'm grateful I found out about this sooner rather than later

I'm grateful there is still a TINY bit of money left even if it has to stretch 4 more weeks

I am grateful that I am making progress, though SLOW, in my quest to live in a healthy and effective (non-hoarding) mode. Never give up !

I am grateful for my brother taking me in so I can get better.

I am grateful for each beautiful, colorful flower I see coming up in bro's gardens.

I am grateful to be reminded that observing our "haves" makes us happier (rather than looking at our "have nots").

I'm grateful for finding two lost items today. One was my prayerbook. I'd looked in the house and vehicle, no luck. Prayed to St. Anthony, patron of finding lost things - and it was inside the church on a table near the door! Apparently I'd left it there last week.

Then after I got home I found my really nice stapler that had gone missing in the move! So glad to have it back.

I am thankful to have gotten through the latest hospitalization.

Glad for my coffee!

I am grateful for the wildlife around here, including birds, squirrels, rabbits and deer.

I am grateful for other posters.

I am grateful for every little breeze.
And for the queen Anne's lace and tiger lilies blooming along the roadsides
And for dragonflies and lightning bugs (too few of these anymore)

I am grateful for the occasional person whom I meet who actually seems to like me.

I am grateful today for my pastor and parish, for help received to get through this month, and his promise to pray for me because of the recent stress I've been under. For the kindness with which I was treated. Even for the tears I shed afterward when I was thanking God, because they were tears of relief.

I am grateful to remember to give gratitude, because I think there is healing power in counting our blessings.

I am grateful for this website that Cory set up for us, so we can "commune."

I am grateful for options.

Grateful for the time I puttered in my raised garden bed this morning. Even though it was getting hot, I enjoyed it.

I am grateful to have all this time with my brother, and for all his help.

I am grateful to see others posting here once again.

I am grateful to have some time alone today.

Thank God it's PAYDAY!!! 🙂

I'm on disability, get paid once a month on the 3rd, and since in April the 3rd fell on a weekend it was the 1st instead. So it's been like 33 days since the last one. And I had multiple automotive repairs and moving expenses that cleaned out my bank account. Now, I can begin to rebuild.

I am grateful for the deep dark night punctuated with the magical illumination of fireflies ! Inspires me to work my own magic ...

I am grateful that the sun is finally out and the weather very nice so I can go without a sweater or sweatshirt.

Grateful for my pretty "new to me" blouse and shoes!

I am grateful for freshly brewed coffee, for mother Robins nesting where I can see them, for new plants coming up to charm us.

I am grateful for yesterday's sunshine and the good warm/cool weather to sit outside in.

I am grateful for the lone tulip just blooming, the crab apple tree in front blooming abundantly, the hosta plants thriving and coming up huge. All signs of summer coming!

I am grateful to belong here and have the chance to feel useful to others sometimes.

I am grateful I will have some time alone again today. I need the me time to restock energy.

I am grateful for all the wonderful friends that are in my life that offer daily encouragement. I am ever so grateful for this site where others like me can offer encouragement to each other.

Today I am grateful for my choices. When a friend suggested coming over before we go to dinner later this week, I didn't make a million excuses. I said yes. I will clean my house and I will have someone over.
