The Grateful Thread

Since moving into our flat last Friday, we have had no Wi-Fi and essentially no cellular data at all, so we've been pretty cut off from the world. We were talking to the guy living below us about this yesterday and he, completely of his own kindness, gave us his Wi-Fi password. We were incredibly touched!

I know it's a bit of a "First World Problem" :laugh:, but it really meant a lot to us to be able to message our family and friends that we don't get to see too often. It's great to be back on TotJO, too!

I was just reflecting on how many ways the TotJO has influenced my life in positive ways. I am grateful.

I am grateful for my bosses both going on holiday at the same time, so I can get through the work piled up on my desk!

I am grateful for and to all those that have and do share their experience and time with me.

My friend advised that his death is not eminent, and that he honors my desire to scribe his legacy. He will be available for questions. Mostly, he just trusts. He need not see sign off. I will mail it to the proxy when it is time.

We agree it is for others that may feel left behind. We agree that the words and spirit of our mentors words never leave us even when the mentor lays the body down.

grateful just to be here.

I am eternally grateful to a dear friend of mine who, dispite his own, often greater problems, always takes the time to listen to mine.

You are the one who I test my beliefs on, one of those people I know I can always rely on to give me your honest opinion and an open ear. A few times you've been the only person I could talk to. And although we have never met in person, I consider you one of my closest friends.

Thank you for the support. I don't know where I would be without you, but I know wherever that is, it wouldn't be as much fun or as far as I am.

And on that note there is another person who I want to thank for keeping me sane. You are a joy to talk to. I have so few friends locally and we get to talk daily. Between you and the previous person, I am reminded that I am not alone. Which I'm more thankful than I can, with all my love of word, describe.

Thank you both.

I am grateful to my mother who risked her health to have me

I am grateful for wise words from friends that bring me understanding of myself.
thank you Cabur

I am grateful to those who...not exactly take me out of my comfort zone, but who show me that perhaps it might be a fair bit larger than I think it is.

I am grateful that all the hard work has started paying off. Our finances are back in order, our emergency fund is back at the minimum I'm comfortable with after nearly a year on empty, I have a car I love and enjoy, and I somewhere somehow was pounced by my old and proper work ethic. I've gotten more done the last day than I have in weeks!

I'm loving this feeling.

I'm grateful for all of you. It's been a rough couple of days and it doesn't look like it'll get any easier for a few more. You guys have really helped. Thank you to all of you.

Since I've posted in the rant thread recently, it's only fair to post here - and to say that I'm grateful for everything I have been learning about myself and the nature of "love", on a frontier that is a bit new to me.

Every person I am associated with (and plenty of those who I'm not) means the world to me. I hope none of you have ever felt or will feel that I have or had given up on you. And if it ever so was, I'm immensely sorry.

Thank you for the chances that I've been given anyway.

I get pictures like this sent to me at work.


All the crankiness aside, it's not a bad life.

I'm grateful that we have two buttons for this emoticon: :laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol:

Even if they are labelled seperately as and they produce the same lovely emoticon (albeit the lol version is slightly smaller in circumference)

Okay I ranted so...
I am grateful for the opportunitys I have, the experiences I have tasted and the lessons I have learnt and are learning even now.
And I am learning even if it takes pain to teach me. I am still grateful
For everything and everyone.

For my beautiful partner, who came into my life when I had almost nothing and showed me what it means to care for another person. She has known hardship most would find it hard to believe, and remains the most wonderful, kind, considerate human being I've ever met. She has deepened my relationship with my kids and brought new ideas and insight to my parenting. We laugh to the point of suffocation every single day. Her strength, her love of life, and her genuine care for me... care I've really never known before... she's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Dogs... gifs... and the internet through which I find a mash up of the two

I'm grateful for many things... I just can't think of any of them right now, so here's my 'placeholder' post.

You'll have to imagine them all
