What makes you grateful?

Family

My three and half year old daughter. I am a geezer who had a miracle. The first time someone referred to me as "grandpa" while I was out with her, I was shocked... now it makes me smile. She is beautiful, smart, and the perfect antidote to a bad day at the office.

Every day I thank the Lord for another day.
At this point I am just happy to be here in
reasonably good shape. I'm 51 and many of my
peers that made bad decisions are starting to disappear.

It's crazy how fast this thing called life goes by!

Thanks for the replies!

I thought about this for a bit...

God
Family
Friends-old and new (including my new friends at TBN)
Freedom (one of my sons just left for his second tour to Afghanistan) & we just celebrated Independence Day
Education-formal, informal or otherwise, imperfect though it is, we have the opportunity!
Good Health and access to healthcare
Peace
and so much more!

If I wrote the whole list I would be here all day. Here is a few, God, wife that loves me when I am not at my best, or when I am at my best for that matter. Second chances, and that the whole world is not like me, It would be a strange place.:laughing:

As I celebrated my 60th birthday this past weekend with my mother, sister, wife, four kids and six grandkids, with Aunts, Uncles and cousins in attendance, I was truely thankful and grateful for everything I have and every day I have.

For every breath I get, I am a cancer survivor.

For pretty much everything. I have been very fortunate.

That I no longer have to clean out the chicken house like when I was a kid!!!!

:laughing:I was always quick to volunteer to clean out the chicken house, because that meant I got to use the tractor; a 1940 John Deere L. We had a little trailer I'd hook up and back it up to the chicken house door, load it with chicken manure, go spread it in the garden, then down by the creek and load the trailer with sand, back to the chicken house and spread the sand in the floor and under the roosts.:laughing:

And as with many of you, I have a great deal to be thankful for, beginning with my wife of more than 48 years.

You look at the positive side of things for sure. I remember the stink of the chicken ****, the hot muggy morning after a summer rain with zero breeze in the chicken house.
