ditto......plus....I'm grateful for my garden, and our cute little kitties, plus....all the people on this site have been amazing....for that alone I am very grateful.
I agree, the people here are AMAZING
Awww I am glad you have those kitties; they make life lighter and brighter. We have a dog and she is soooooo much fun
Yeah, dogs can be fun too.....we lost our boy some months back, but he's always here with us though...and thinking of him just makes me smile....'the strawberry thief'....I'll never forget the red lips on him after stealing a strawberry out of the garden, and eating only half of it...Totally busted.
He didn’t know he was supposed to be a dog...he would sit upright like a person on the rocking chair in the kitchen and act like he was in on the conversation we were having....He and the cat had it all worked out....one of our cats some years back....when we were cooking dinner, would wait till we were not looking and throw down a pork chop to Spike, the dog, and then run off with the other...yeah....a couple of real comedians....then they would lay on the mat together in front of the fire.
Yes we lost our cat a few months ago and like you we feel he is with us in ways. That strawberry lips, rocking chair and pork chop stories are so great.
I like hearing dogs and cats getting along together. I like it that their like a team together!
We had a black lab growing up. I loved that dog. She was so much fun. She would play and never want to stop. In my later teen early twenties my parents got a cat. She was a great cat as well. Have some good memories! Grateful to have had them both in my life! I hope one day to be able to get a dog and a bunny rabbit again!
Nice! My dog is half lab and she never wants to stop playing either! Animals are so therapeutic.
They certainly are! Labs would be my favorite. I might be a little bias there! Truthfully I love all animals though!
I have to tell a couple of dog stories.
The other night I was in the bathroom & saw Dory, the 10 lb black Cat, run by & into the computer room, which was dark. On her butt was Abby, the 40 lb Dog, running past me & into the same room. Seconds later, Abby came flying out of the room - tail between her legs like she had seen a ghost!!! All I could hear as Abby came out was hissin' & spittin'. LOL!!! Dory doesn't even have front claws!!!
The second story happened decades ago.
Our roommate, aptly called "Caveman", stayed home to cook a turkey on the grill. We went ahead so we could start partying at a friend's house. It took forever for him to bring that turkey, but he eventually did - minus the legs! They were like sheered completely off! Well, apparently, our dog, Sammy, was outside & somehow got to those legs & ATE 'em!!! Sadly, Caveman died several years layer of cancer. Do you know that I actually believed that story until maybe 2 years ago, when I figured it out all by myself! I mean, the rest of the turkey was fine...how did Sammy get JUST the legs without pulling that big ol' bird to the ground?!
I BELIEVE in people, even pathological liars!
Good stories. Thank you for sharing. I used to watch a cartoon back in the day called "captain caveman" I'm not entirely sure if that was the title of the show or just a character in the show. It's been so long! I loved cartoons!
That's crazy! The dog & cat were in cahoots together! I gotta give 'em applause for hatching that plan (pulling it off, too)!👏👍👌

So very true and beautiful, Agora1!
Hi everyone!
I'm thankful for my supportive husband who works hard everyday for us. And has helped me so much this past year when my OCD has been at its worst ever!
I'm thankful for my 12 year old dog(my child) for always greeting me at the door and making me feel not so alone.
Im thankful for this community and everyone who has responded and read my posts. Gave insight and opinions. Has helped me tremendously!
I'm thankful for mother nature!! We finally got some much needed rain lol. As simple as it sounds it has brightened my day!
So many things to be thankful for, but at this moment in time those are what stand out the most 
wishing everyone a lovely day!
Nice Worrier35! 😊

(Dang when you see a word too much it starts to look weird... grateful ...😳
😆 yeah true haha
Does everyone in the UK use the term "mum" vs "mom"?
I assume we do I’m not sure 🤔
I live in North East of UK and use Mam not Mum 🙂
Do you guys use "dad" for your father? All my knowledge of British culture comes from Monty Python. I imagine everyone is addressed as a twit or bloody b*stard. 😊
Oh blimey~ Monty Python has a lot to answer to lol!! Yep we do say Dad !! 🙂
I learn German culture from Hogan Hero's re-runs (not sure if you ever seen that show). 😊
No I haven't seen that show ~ hope you don't think here in the UK we fly around on broomsticks like Harry Potter lol😃😃work for me today so will have to get ready to face the day soon 🙂
I do fly on broomsticks though!! Speak for yourself 🙄🙄🙄
Oh heck have you got a Nimbus 2000 ? Lol!!!😃😃😃x
Yeah I’m thinking of an upgrade though.. got insurance coming up you see
Oh wow you are living life in the fast lane now lol😎😎😎x
I think i dated a few on broomstick here in the states. 😊
Oh help SO funny lol!! 😃😃
Looool
Eeh heck ~I can't stop laughing about you saying you dated a few on broomsticks in the States ~ blimey what a hoot 😄😄😄
I'm not a proud person. 😊
Oh but you are so funny !! Fab sense of humour ~ I love it 😃😃
I KNEW you seemed familiar! Lol!!!
You probably remember me as Brunhilda & I rode a Kessler Rechargeable!😆

I am grateful to have fresh clean water and not to have to travel miles to get filthy contaminated water . I am grateful to have food to eat. I am grateful I am not having to live on the streets. I am grateful I have family and friends who care about me. 🦋
So true. I sometimes take clean water and such for granted.
I am grateful for another day of life, a place to live and food to eat. If everyone just thinks a little we all have things to be grateful. It is really enlightening to write a gratuity list everyday. Write 3 things down and there are so many. We tend to dwell on everything wrong. That’s what life is, good and bad, and we are to help each other through it
True it’s easy to get caught up in focusing on the negative. I wonder just how many blessings I have; it would be a long list for sure.
I’m grateful for my family and dogs
Grateful for my life and that I woke up this morning
Grateful for Gods sunlight shining down on me
Grateful for the Holy Spirit

For this life and the people I have been given to share it with!
Beautiful
Starlight, this is beautiful. Thank you for reminding us to think about what we are grateful for. You made my day!
I love your last point especially. I am also grateful that God blesses me every day. 💕 There is always something to be grateful for. I am also grateful for this site where we can share and support one another. Have a blessed day. Hugs! 🤗
Thanks Lovetodance! I’m so glad you appreciate this. You have a blessed day too! 🤗
Starlight
Like you when I am low, I always consider the positive things in my life. Generally where we live is a positive thing that stands out in my thoughts, However there are negative vibes I cannot get away from, the fact is sometimes even around here can be present to burst my bubble.
We returned from holiday Sunday and could feel negativity in the air. I have to put that at the back of my mind, holidays contain positive vibes, I suppose whatever I feel we will return to past problems. We have to face those and move on.
I wonder what awaits us, hoping that the positive beats the negative once more
BOB
True we have to face problems and move on and at times they seem to pile up but everything happens for a reason maybe some negatives will turn into positives like making us more patient or stronger. Positive usually beats negative but it’s so hard to see any positives when down in depression or spiraling in anxiety. All we can do is our best I guess.
Am grateful to let my feelings out
To feel an not alone
To talk to others
To feel somebody cards ,x,
Great healing power in letting it out! Yes we do care!
I am grateful for cool mornings
Warm afternoons
My dogs
And all that God has blessed me with
Which is so much!
Nice JuneVas! I sometimes thank God for blessings that I might not even be aware of.

Beautiful Weaty

So inspiring! I posted my list in an earlier gratitude thread from Starrlight. There were lots of good lists on there, too. Is it possible to merge threads? Anyway, here's the link:
healthunlocked.com/anxiety-...
I don’t know if we can merge threads. I was thinking I’d post a new one each week because they get lost.
Hi i can sympathize your feelings. I too last year surgery for brain heamoragh it was touch and go but I survived i too suffer anxiety through this and now I also have seizures so I do sympathize with you so much. I hope you feel better soon. Love crissypresso
You are defidently a survivor.
It is a lovely day here and I have been doing some dead heading in the Peony part of the garden, my wife has over thirty varieties and there was a mass of dead or dying flowers to remove. It took some time and by the time for a tea break came about and we were sitting in the Living room looking outside at my handy work. Hazel turns to me and says that the flowers I had dead headed, the remaining flowers were turning their flowers towards where where sitting, it seemed like an acknowledgement of a job well done
In a way I suppose we all need attention throughout our lives, we are like flowers turning towards the sunlight, it is better we do that than hanging our heads down to the earth when things go wrong. We need to look for the positive rather than the negative and move on to that bright, sunny day and view the flowers looking for the sunlight.
Life is to short to look and the night, instead of the day
BOB
I love how you describe us as the flowers looking to the sunlight needing attention. Beautiful
Im grateful for my parents and my overprotective older brothers that are always in my business 😀 and im grateful for the beach, surfing keeps my brain sane
I wish I could go to a beach right now...and see you surf would be nice... i skateboard a little, never tried surfing. Do you live very close to a beach? U r lucky to have thosebtothers looking after you!
The beach is in my backyard. I also skateboard but surfing is life. Im in the water every chance i get
Nice! It’s very special to have things we are so passionate about.
