what are you grateful for today?

sxt

The Sun. You give me food, you give me vitamin d, you give me warmth, you give me daylight. You look pretty hot too.Thank you Sun.

Buona Fortuna

Have you seen the sun today?

tuisginideach

Grateful that my son says his low mood is 'just because he is tired'. Hopeful that's he is telling truth.

The Sun is always shining. Sometimes the clouds get in the way is all:)

Got an apple pie from dunnes with a wee bit of custard, its ****ing delicious. I'm extremely thankful for that.

Well said mate.

Those sticky things that allow you to reseal packs of Ham.

Well I am grateful for the following - being healthy, having enough to eat, a roof over my head and feeling content with life.

Yeah, I'm grateful that they never work. Me I just love dried up ham. Can't get enough of the stuff.

Dogs.

I read Padraig Pearse's poem "The Fool" today for the first time in years. I'm grateful for all the people who struggled and suffered for our freedom.

I'm grateful for

galljga1

That I did a 6K today even though I now have ball rash.

boobar

Grateful to have so much in life, a happy and healthy family, a modest but very nice home, a well paid job.

I was moaning a little during the week about not being completely fulfilled at work, spoke to a neighbour today who hasn't worked in 6 months made me reflect on what I have.

Manach

No running across any canvassers.

Health. Without it you have nothing.

€50 at 6.4 Leicester to be Manchester CIty returned €270.
and €4 at 170 Leicester to win 3-0 (result was 3-1) returned €95 (sold a bit early). The 87th minute goal stopped me winning another €520.

And the birds and the flowers and stuff.

One eyed Jack

That my granny-in-law celebrates her 90th birthday today.

That nobody will remember in the morning my awful singing tonight.

That I could remember the words of a few ballads and songs, because nobody else fcuking could!! :pac:


That I will have forgotten about tonight by the morning...

ElleEm

My MS has been playing up a bit recently and I am suffering with fatigue and not sleeping properly so I am very grateful for the four hour nap I had earlier. I am even more grateful for the fact that my fella doesn't care that I haven't showered or gotten dressed today!

When did the sun ever give us heat? It was bitterly cold today.

mickstupp

Today, my bed, which helped with my migraine. And the new Chinese takeaway place that opened round the corner. Very fine Beef Kung Po.

Tin Foil Hat

I got to slam the door on an FG canvasser who tried to shirk his party's responsibility for the property tax. Made my day.

Our lord and saviour, Hesus Christ.

nkav86

I saw stars in the sky tonight, although I see some when in Dublin, rarely do I see so many and as clear as I have tonight in Arklow , strangely grateful for that!

LaVail

The makings of 2 joints I just found. Oh praise de lord!

beks101

I'm grateful I don't have pneumonia or lung cancer or 5 days to live or any of those things I've been convincing myself I have for the last few days. Flu is the worst.

It's not really. Everything you mentioned in the first sentence is far worse.:D

8 Bit Girl

Nurofen + Tea

I'm very grateful that I have my cousin relatively close by to me when everyone else is scattered around the place. He's my best friend and I don't know what I'd do without him to shore me up when times are tough and to take me down a peg or two when I get too big for my boots, and give me a hug when I need a bit of TLC like I have recently. He's one in a million.

Especially when he's not snoring or playing xbox all night in the next room and keeping me awake. And when he doesn't stagger in drunk and clatter around the kitchen like a bull in a china shop. Or hog the only bathroom all day after eating stupid things for a bet.

I was looking at my little daughter asleep after reading to her tonight.
She makes me so happy

The thoughts of hiring out a bike on hols and hitting the mountains of Spain

Spring on the way ..... The thoughts of planting fresh lettuce etc

Let you into a secret here. I do not have health but I have everything.. and am deeply grateful for all I have. Sometimes adversity grounds you in that way,, My day starts with prayer of thanksgiving.. for the rest I have had, for blanket and pillows, that I can walk, that my body works ( in parts!) . for light at the flick of a switch, for coffee and hot water.. the sheltering roof and abundant food...for clothes and hot water bottles.. for the critters who need me and love me.. for my trusty laptop. For work for my skilled hands to do that will give food to those who have far far less than I have... bad health can simplify and focus...stops me taking things for granted. For the means of grace and the hope of glory..which underpins all else ......and of course THANK YOU for the great company here! OK thank you so now I will face the storm ahead in a better frame of mind!

Came across a cache of seeds I had forgotten I bought half price in Aldi and exulted in the bright images... when the hail is lashing the windows, wonderful thoughts..

Grateful that I'm awake to live another day. Grateful that I was born into a wealthy western European society with good looks, social competence and artistic endeavour. Grateful that I have the most loving parents, most amazing friends and most dear girlfriend. Grateful that no matter how bad things get or how broke I am, I will never be truly homeless, or truly bankrupt. Grateful that provided no accidents/catastrophes happen I can live a good life past 80. Grateful that our glorious sun rises and shines everyday and gives us air and life and purpose. Grateful when it rains so our flora and fauna grow, which also to me serves as a reminder of our atmosphere, our planet, our galaxy and our privilege as conscious beings to be able to experience the beauty that is life on Earth, which, as far as we know, is insanely unique and miraculous

Every morning I wake up and count my blessings. Every night before I go to sleep I thank "God" (whatever it may be) for having allowed me to live another day of peace and pleasure. I constantly think about the other 7 billion lives on this planet, and the hostile, tragic environments so many billions of people reside in for their lives.

I don't want to get too hippy now and go on some existential rant, but I'm telling ya lads, being an Irish person in 2016 is a sweet deal. Don't you forget that!

Bongalongherb

I'm grateful for the roof over my head because it is bloody freezing out there. Having the elements blocked by this abode really makes me feel grateful.

Samsgirl

Grateful for Netflix as it has entertained my two children this morning and I got 2 hours more sleep!!

This just makes me want and yearn and act to give everything I do not need to change that for even a few as my family do. As you say we have so much and far more than we need. Blessings are surely to be shared not hoarded just for us. For everyone. Wherever and whoever. Word of God teaches that over and again.

My gorgeous God daughter who gave me a big hug today.

My car

My ability to eat a massive pizza and not feel in the least bit guilty about it

Being able to jump in to bed in a few hours just because I can.

30 minutes in. 13-0. Grateful.


So far.......

Hammer89

I'm grateful for the fact I didn't wake up with a very sore throat despite smoking approximately 432 cigarettes last night. I'm grateful for the fact that my local shop had the spicy chicken fillets that I like, which made for a lovely roll. I'm grateful for the fact Arsenal beat Bournemouth.

That's all so far. I'll be finishing the night with a takeaway and a big **** so I'm sure I'll be grateful for both of those too when the time comes so to speak.

Nothing, life is a **** pit. If it turns out there is a god I will be ****ing livid.

I'm grateful that I'm warm and dry. That's pretty much my limit right now.

Grateful for my beautiful little niece who I was looking after last night and today. The time spent with her really is a joy, and I don't take a second of it for granted.

Leogirl

Grateful that my baby was born healthy and without too much trouble despite cancer diagnosis a few weeks before

Grateful that the tumour has shrunk significantly and I'm finished chemo+ enjoying being well enough to really enjoy my little girl before I'm chopped+ out of action for a few weeks.

Most of all I'm grateful for every day I am here with people I love.
