heh, a lot of us got taken down a notch or two right after we declared, with self-satisfied smugness, "I know what it's all about!"

1.  That I am alive...woohoo...didn't think I would be.  I survived lymphoma four times and have been in remission about five years now, give or take a year.  It is soooo good to lose track of when I had it last.
 
2.  I am grateful for my son, my mother, my Cousin Jill, and all my furbabies (six of them, aargh); for memories of loved ones that are no longer with me; and for making new friends.
 
3.  I am grateful for my hundred something year old house, that always has something going wrong with it...
 
4.  I am grateful for my new (okay, got it about 3 years ago, lol) used minivan that is nineteen years old.  I'm trying to see if I can eventually turn her into an antique...it's my favorite car and I will be upset when she no longer runs.
 
5.  I will have to copy number one from pam's list, slightly edited:
quote:

The fact that i have ... a place to live, and enough to eat. There have been times when i haven't had those things. i know there are many people nowadays who don't have those things, through no fault of their own. i feel for them.


6.  I am grateful that we have one decent buffet in town, and that it's Chinese food.  I love eating the meat and veggies...with chopsticks.
 
7.  I am grateful for friends that I have had for 17 to twentysomething years even though they can drive me mad.  When I was a kid, we lived in a new state or city almost every year, so it has been a strange thing for me, getting used to having others outside of immediate family in my life over the years.
 
8.  I am grateful for chocolate.  What Hershey took away, my favorite variety, angelicaJ found on a website for me...and next month, I will be baking brownies and chocolate cake for the first time in years.  Yes indeedy...I stopped baking those when Hershey retired my favorite European Style dutched cocoa powder.  I am going to be almost drunk on cocoa powder the entire month of December, lol.
 
9.  I am grateful for...my inner child
 
10.  I am grateful for this old cranky computer that I bought at a no-kill animal shelter's second hand store...for only $25.
 
11.  I am grateful for...books, and movies on DVD.
 
12.  I am grateful that I love knitting hats, making crazy quilts by hand, sewing stuff with a machine, and crafts.

Status: offline 		I am grateful for family, friends and furbabies.

I am grateful for a job and a home.

I am grateful for finally having developed enough wisdom (as ephemeral as it seem to be) to learn when to say ENOUGH.

I am grateful for knowing that who I am NOW is not who I WAS, nor is it who I WILL be.

I am grateful that I have finally learned that some regrets are necessary.. they only make me a stronger and hopefully wiser person.

I am grateful for the friends I have and for the fact that sometimes friends can love you as much as family, that is a new revelation for me.

I am grateful that I have all of my creatures (6) snuggled inside on this freezing cold night.

I am grateful that I have a man that loves me and I don't live in  the past anymore.

I am grateful that I have enough, and thankful that I realize that.

Status: offline 		Wow!  I heard the greatest radio commercial about this today. 

I am grateful for electricity.  Without light in the evenings, I couldn't read.

I am grateful for indoor plumbing.

I am grateful for enough food on My plate.

I am grateful for warm clothes.  Even the types that aren't the height of fashion, but keep Me warm.

I am grateful for clean drinking water.

I am grateful for toilet paper.

I am grateful for plankton.  They keep the universe in balance in their way.

I am grateful for the advantages that the information age has afforded Me.  I am grateful that I do not have to experience the same difficulties as other generations did.

I am grateful that I recognize the opportunities that some take for granted.  To do so, would condemn Me to selfishness.

Best wishes to those who appreciate the simple things....... And those who do not.
