Sorry to hear about your car @peace ! I'm grateful for how beautifully you have responsed to an upsetting event. Seeing the positive in a negative situation.

@CherryBomb Oh yeah I never thought about that but you know it really has helped me get thru this day. I do miss her.

I'm grateful that @bipolar101 started this terrific thread (I hope you are travelling ok!)

I'm grateful for the early morning. I stood on my doorstep just after dawn, breathed the morning air, listened to the birds and very quietly sung one of my personal "mantras".

I'm grateful for the many beuatiful, supportive and generous people I have met on this forum. I count myself truly blessed to be part of this community.

Kind regards,

Kristin

I am SO grateful for my big girl. In all sorts of ways big and small she has stepped up to help me at the moment. 

Here are two examples:

A lunch-box note for her little sister - If you stumble make it part of the dance

A quote via hangouts for me - Yeah I am WIERD: Wonderful, Exciting, Interesting, Real, Different! (I declared us a weird family years ago when my eldest was in year 7, and he complained his friends thought his sister was weird. This is an idea my elder daughter has embraced as freedom to be herself )

What a great thread.

I'm grateful for my husband, even through all his MH issues he tries to remain cheerful and loving.
I'm grateful for my two wonderful children and my adorable granddaughter.
I'm grateful for my three wonderful stepchildren and two step-grandchildren.
I'm grateful for the roof over my head, the food in my belly and the little (very little) luxuries that being retired provides us with.

Being a carer isn't easy and there are so many things that I'd love to "wish away" but it pays to read a thread like this and realise there are also many things to be grateful for.

I really feel like acknowledging my neighbor as I am so Grateful to be blessed to have met this kind and most helpful lady. My life has been made so much easier because of her. I just wish I could some how give back to her. I am going to try harder to be there for her somehow.
