Some people say that practicing gratitude is good for your health. Please share your daily dose of "I'm grateful for..."
I am most grateful for still being alive..I beat stage 3 throat cancer...
Oh wow! I second that motion. Grateful that you beat stage 3 throat cancer!!!

@JohnnyThorazine
Thanks..honestly 2/3rd of it is lost from memory..as in gone..
@HippieChick58 thanks HippieChick..I had an awesome team of doctors and techs behind me, they were a big part of it..
@RoadGoddess My pleasure..Cancer is one of the most frightening diagnoses to hear..I went through 7 weeks of radiation & 3 rounds of chemotherapy..it wasn't an ordeal I'd recommend.
Outspoken gratitude could be bragging....ill try not to.
I've reached the point where I am grateful for regularity, getting my underwear on the right way, and fo the Oxford comma.
I second the Oxford comma!
I vote we table the Oxford comma. Forever!
I am grateful for:
When I'm feeling down, I always stop and make a mental gratitude list. I always start with oxygen, and go from there.
I'm grateful for Agnostic.com (extra points right?)
LOL!!
I am grateful to have been able to travel and see as much of the world as I have. I am grateful to have had the most wonderful travel buddy to accompany me on twenty-one years' worth of those trips, taken from me way too soon. I am grateful to be the human companion of the greatest dog in the world.
Everyday I am grateful on awakening that I still remember my name.
I suspect that the day I don't will be the day I don't sign in on here.
I don’t have a consistent thing I’m thankful for. The other week it wasn’t having to walk a1/2 mile in the bitter cold, Saturday I was thankful for the chance to spend time with a very good friend, yesterday after a dreary, rainy day the sun broke for a beautiful sunset.
I'm grateful for awareness, reason. Fleeting blessings that we have in the here-and-now, but accessible in every moment of wakefulness.
Clean socks. Being ex-infantry can alter your priorities. Seriously, clean socks imply having water, time, and an absence of threats needed to make them clean. Plus the sheer sybaritic pleasure of wearing a clean pair every day.
I keep small bags in my car to hand off to those with signs along the road. My bags have some disposable personal cleansing cloths, a mylar space blanket, clean sox, and $5. I read that clean sox are especially valued among the housing uncertain population.
Hung out within my daughter, her husband, and some of their friends yesterday. Had a really nice time. I'm grateful every day for a daughter who loves her old man. And my dogs (added later).
Having grown up kids is wonderful!
@HippieChick58 especially when you can feel they appreciate you and like having you in their life. Yep, nothing like it, it's truly gratifying.
@Condor5 YESSSSS! Makes me so glad I didn't drown them when they were teenagers.
@HippieChick58 LOL!
My kids, my friends, and those times when my ex is too busy to text me
Until I read Charlene's post, I was pretty sure I was an ingrate. Couldn't come up with a thing that I am 'grateful' for. I do appreciate a lot though. Yeah, I appreciate a lot, grateful for nothing (well, almost). That's how I roll...hehe
I'm grateful for women and lgbtq that actually know what faction is against them as equals. And then tell others at the woman's march wich women are pretending to be progressive and for truth but have loyalty to an abusive fictional character made for pleb management.
My health
My kids
My freedom from religion
Friends
So many reasons to show gratitude in the Spiritual side (if you don't like my use of the word spirit, OK). And in the material side, checks nr 2 and 3 are posted tomorrow. I have to live today to see tomorrow. You know what I mean?
