Giving Thanks

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought that I would start a thread listing some of the things that I am thankful for (no time to list all of them). Not just things about being single, but all kinds of things. Anyone who wants to jump in, please do.

I am thankful for...

- Having a great job that pays well and that I enjoy.
- Having an amazingly supportive (if sometimes tiresome) family.
- Being blessed with amazing friends.
- Not being the first one to have kids in the family - no baby circus for me, thanks.
- My health.
- Happy Bunny.
- My convictions.
- My passion.

These are just a few but why not send out some thanks to the cosmos. : )

Thanks for posting this, Jules! I am really needing to count my blessings today. :)

Mine are:

-- I have a group of amazing girlfriends who have all seen me through thick and thin for at least 12 years, and one for 21 years! I know I'm one of the lucky ones in this respect.

-- I have a great relationship with my parents and can actually consider them friends.

-- I have two great older sisters who have paved the way for me in many ways by their examples.

-- I am very healthy, strong, and appreciate the abilities of my body.

-- I have had a great job for six months, which brought me out of a very difficult year and I now see the light at the end of the tunnel.

-- I know how to laugh at myself

-- I truly love myself

-- I live in a country where so many things are possible, I have a roof over my head, food on the table, I feel safe in my home, a car to drive. SO MUCH!!

It's amazing how we can take these little things for granted. But, I am truly, truly grateful for my life and for all the blessings in it.

AJ, enjoying life with C.
