I am grateful for health, family, friends, and yes even irritating moonbats.  :lmao:
 
Also, I am grateful to be a citizen of the best country on the planet and I am very much humbled by the sacrifices made by our military and their families. 

 
Ever since I was a little kid, I've always marveled at how lucky I was to be born here.  I've been to some other countries since but there are none better.

Jesus as my savior and the blessings He has bestowed upon my family and me.   :-)
Faith is indeed a blessing and I wonder how much gratitude one may have without it.

I am having such a lovely weekend.. this is a good thread to respond to tonight!

I feel grateful that I have such kick ass girlfriends... and that my husband and i stayed in our pjs all day, lounging on our comfy couches together watching bad tv (Michael Clayton... that was confusing for a while) and then we watched more bad tv and are now ordering a pizza and putting out the trash.

it's been a great day just doing nothing.. for a change..

I'm grateful that my wife has asked me for a divorce after 20 years. Ironic, but it has changed my life more dramatically and for the positive than any other thing has ever done. I'm also grateful for my Texas angel, who waits patiently for my return to Texas.

Chris, are you sure you didn't mean to post this in Schade's "Peeps, I'm about to burst" thread?

I'm grateful for the lady I'll be marrying later this month. That she sees me for me and hasn't run away screaming, even after all these years. :-)

Thank you! Everyone comments on her eyelashes. Let me tell you, she already knows how to use them!  :-)

The weather's been great here in Savannah too.  Mid 70's most of the day, and somewhat of a breeze. :)

Great thread, duke...I'm coming in late here, but I'm grateful for friends who keep me motivated and are always the best cheerleaders when I need them in such a capacity. I'm grateful for warm, windy spring days like yesterday. For having children who remind me everyday how to stay young. I'm grateful for the opportunity to still capture my dreams and for having the courage to pursue them. I'm grateful I live in a comfortable home, don't WANT for anything essential and that I have been blessed, so far, with all my faculties.

I'm grateful for all the wonderful things God was so grateful to include on this beautiful planet and the talents he gave human beings to enrich the lives of one another: blue skies, rain, trees, flowers, mountains, beaches, sunshine, but also art, books, athletics, etc.

I am late too.  At the moment I am grateful for so much, family and friends of course, and the return of spring and the good weather and all the promise it brings.
