In addition to the many things to be thankful for, I'm thankful for a thread here that is full of positivity!

Right up there with the very best inventions ever, in my book. Well, I guess being able to "highlight", "right click", and click on the option to "Search Google for" is right up there, too. . . :-)

I'm honestly thankful everyday for a wonderful husband who has always been an amazing, loving and fun life partner and best friend.
I'm thankful to God for so many things in our lives, including prayers answered for family and friends and I often have a conversation with Him to acknowledge my gratefulness.

Thankfulness is an endorphin, especially when I smile from ear to ear, as I look up into the big, beautiful blue sky, feel the warm sun and think about how thankful I am for our freedom in America. I'm thankful to our Service Members and our Veterans for that. Thank you to all Veterans!

I am thankful for these posts today from people who make the choice to be positive. I am thankful that I am learning to live focusing on gratitude and blessings. To have a Higher Power, God who provides peace in all circumstances. I am grateful to have learned to wait, more shall be revealed in a bigger plan. To unplug from fear mongers. To have my own opinions without crowd mentality. And the practiced ability to live NOW versus regret of past or fear of future.

I’m thankful to be able to wake up in the morning and know that I have another day! I’m thankful for good health! I’m thankful for the years I spent with my wife who I loved very much until cancer took her away from me several years ago. I’m thankful that I am still able to have a drink everyday because when I wake up in the morning that is not the way I want to feel all day!

I’m thankful for insulin. It is something we take for granted these days. My grandson would not have lived past 5 years old without it. He is 8 years old now and looks like any other kid. You would not know by looking at him that his life depends on it.

Ditto to most of what’s already been mentioned. But also a warm and comfy place to sleep. So many are suffering in this world and don’t even have that.

I have a 'gratitude' list that I go through before sleep and it has 100 items. So lots and lots to be thankful for. Life, Love and Health are my first 3 items.

Above all things in my life, I am most thankful for my husband. When I had a stroke he was there 24/7 for the entire month I was in the hospital. That was 14 years ago and he still helps me every single day.

Thankful for...wise people who pose this question. The question teases me into reading the responses and makes my heart swell as my brain says "Ditto" to all that I read.
