0 #32 Not fighting with my teenaged sonanniez 02-08-2010 18:33 the HZs Ann Arbor, Mi

My 13 year old and I have been butting heads lately and I was feeling discouraged by the destination that we seemed to end up in each time. But I have been consciously trying to change my part in these dramas and I think because my son is appreciating my efforts - he is trying to do things better as well. We had another success today. Which helps me remember that I have a really terrific kid!

I am very gratefyl for the sun shining today. While I live in the south and can't really understand the cold of the north...it has been very rainy and gray here. Today the sun is out and it changes your entire perspective on life!

I'm grateful for this website. I have been home all weekend without a voice (laryngitis) and it's nice to have a place to feel connected when I can not speak on the phone and I live alone with my darling 1 year old.

I'm grateful that the sun peeks out just enough to make the cold days of winter bearable.

I'm grateful that us being cold and miserable gives us a season to look forward to and makes those in warmer places grateful they aren't us.

It warms my heart to see my children laughing. Nothing is more beautiful than the sound of a child laughing deeply and "with their whole body". When my son laughs while we are playing, all the troubles of being unemployed and all of the worries in my mind are washed away...

So grateful for the love of my family!

I am grateful that my son Alex was healthy enough today to go to school - especially because that allowed me to meet with some wonderful women who will be gathering to support each other in our self-employment endeavors. Very appreciative that they were all game to meet!

0 #24 Grateful for my carjadeheart 02-04-2010 12:49

I went to traffic cour the other day to try and get a speeding ticket fine reduced and was unsuccessful. Yet it didn't bother me that much, I realized I am grateful to have reliable transportation because it's one less stress and makes life easier for me. It's my own fault for speeding too.

I am grateful that this gratitude project, started by my amazingly talented wife, has done exactly what it promised it would do...make me a more grateful person.

0 #22 Sweet SadiemarA2 02-04-2010 11:33

I am grateful for my precious cat Sadie. She is a lover and a cuddler and definitely can keep me warm. She makes me feel needed, appreciated and loved...and she seems to think I am quite a good singer too.

0 #21 Gratitude for the women I get to work withkwallace 02-04-2010 09:14

I am grateful for the women in my Archetype Group which had its last session last night. It was an honor to teach such a wonderful, inspiring group of women.

0 #20 Collective GrowthAw/A 02-04-2010 06:36 Laurel Maine, USA

I am grateful to be living in a time when hearts and minds are expending and connecting, information about expanding our consciousness and connection to the Divine is readily available to all, and the concept of Love being the antidote to fear seems to be more accessible on a global scale...just happy to be here and witness/participate in so much spiritual transformation taking place...

I'm grateful for a weekend away with some friends; hiking outside in the snow, sitting by the fire in the cottage, praying, eating and laughing together. I'm so thankful for these women and for our husbands who kept the home fires burning too!

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

0 #17 Keeping warmpretzalgal 02-03-2010 17:47

Warm blankets, hot cocoa, hot soup, smell of cookies hot from the oven, warm hugs from my grandchildre, hot buttery popcorn with a good fuzzy movie, hot steamy bubble bath, all these things and more make keeping warm in the winter fun!

0 #16 Being open to expand and learnJerry 02-03-2010 14:05 Pasadena

I'm grateful that I am healthy enough to learn new ideas and have the energy to implement them in our new world. We have a new method of doing business happening right in front of our eyes. We are all coping differently. My thanks are to others for tolerating my slowness and patient with my rate of awareness & growth.

I'm humble yet eager and transitioning well.

0 #15 Annie Zirkelkathleen518 02-03-2010 14:00

Not warm or grateful here today, really kinda blah.
Thank goodness for Annie. The gratitude email arrived just in the knick of time.

I am grateful for the roof and four walls that keep me from having to live out in the snow.
I am grateful for mr Frog and the Pond because they give me something useful to do every day.
I am grateful for my healthy children and my beautiful, healthy grandson.
I am grateful for a pot of chicken paprikash on my stove and the freedom and means to go to the corner for a pound of butter.

There. That's much better.
Thanks Annie.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work with so many fabulous clients. I love my job!

0 #13 toddlerangela 02-03-2010 13:08

I am thnkful for my little bundle of energy who is probably not going to nap today, and may be a bit worse for the wear because of it, and certainly will not allow for me to accomplish my to do list BUT is healthy, happy, mischevious, curious, joyful, and reminding me of the importance of play, silliness, and enjoying eachother!

0 #12 right nowmichii 02-03-2010 12:26

I'm very grateful for my parents support of my relationship. I know they expect more from me but I feel like the black sheep among my sisters most of the time. They want the best for me and I know it. But the fact that they're showing their support despite my unconventional situation really shows how much they do love me unconditionally . Additionally, I'm thankful to my darling and all the people that have supported us along the way. We have a long way to go and a lot of obstacles to overcome, but I know we'll make it.

My daughter has been away in France for a month now, and will be there for 8 more months. I miss her, and want her to know that she is the world to me, the greatest gift God could ever give me, and I am thinking of her, and loving her all of the time. Thank you God for my daughter Jenna.

0 #10 healthLisa 02-03-2010 11:00 Lisa Michigan

we struggled with a cough in the last week. Our daughter had unsettled nights and we were pretty worn out. THEN, yesterday, I heard a friends nephew died unexpectedly from meningitis, not even 2 years old and my husband's colleagues daughter had a seizure yesterday, 16 months old. We are really, really lucky. Just a cough. I can handle that. I am sooo grateful for our overall health

0 #9 Gratefulmochaluscious 02-03-2010 10:41

I am grateful that when a friend's father died all of her sister girlfriends were able to set aside differences and be there for her and we still are. I am also grateful for my own sisters, nieces and nephews.

0 #8 winter beautyjswalden 02-03-2010 10:06

I'm grateful for a recent ski trip that left me amazed again at the Rockies and their astounding beauty and that I didn't get hurt before I regained some skiing form.

0 #7 Life is good!Tradecki 02-03-2010 10:03 Florida

I am grateful for my life. I recently finished a very tough period in my life -and I'm grateful I got through it and that it has made me appreciate all the beauty, love and wonderful people I have in my life! I am also grateful for our new doggie - Bailey - she is doing great and bringing even more love into our house!

I am grateful for the warmth of evenings spent by the fire in this cold month.

0 #5 Winter Warmthcafe5nj 02-03-2010 09:33

I'm grateful for the snow which makes everything and everyone a little brighter! So grateful for friends and family that remind me every day how truly lucky we are.

0 #4 Healthnwedlock 02-03-2010 09:26

I twisted my neck in my sleep and it's killing me today, but I know by the end it will be fine. Any time I get temporary pain like this or flu, headache,... It's a gentle reminder that there are people that live with constant pain every moment of their lives. It makes me grateful for my health, and also makes me aware that I must make time to be compassionate and mindful of those that suffer silently. That said, I will be making a few "I'm thinking of you" and "I love you" phone calls today.

0 #3 Friends & WeatherAngie 02-03-2010 08:56 Saline, MI

I am grateful for all the snow we got in northern Michigan this past weekend, which made the skiing all that more fun and all the snow we're getting now in Southeast Michigan so we can go cross-country skiing soon. I am also grateful for all the friends we have, who enjoy doing the things we do, and are able to join us in our various activities.
