For what in your life do you feel most grateful for?
Has this changed you? If so, how..
Funny... I was thinking... I am grateful for everything, good and bad, especially bad. I would not exist if not for my parents and if I think what a coincidence my existence really is... For my grandparents to meet, for my parents to meet, for me to be born of all this sperm variations... Me? I am the only child. I am even grateful for my Sun Sign - I was born on Halloween - everybody celebrates my birthday! For the country I was born in, for the country that is my home now, for my friends and enemies, for my troubles, for my son... For my strengths and my weaknesses, I am grateful, for my mistakes, for my mind, for my not belonging... For everything...
Repeating the words of one of the best Russian poets of all times:
================================
And the stars are cold unlike they used to be.
Those I used to love are disappointed,
Those I worshiped have forgotten me.
Though I’m ostracized and censured here,
Yet I keep on smiling, not depressed at all…
Living in this world, so near and dear,
I am grateful to my life for all.
Sergei Yesenin
Simple - life, isn't it amazing? Everything what happen to you, emotions you feel, people you love, things you do...
I am grateful for caring friends. This is new for me. I never really thought I had lots of friends . . . and then when I hit a few bumps in my life -- there were so many people to support me. Thanks for asking!
My wife. Sometimes she can be a complete pain in the butt to me, but to be without her is unimaginable. After nearly thirty years, she is my best friend, my right arm and my soul mate.
God, I hope she doesn't read this! She'll never let me live it down!
That I can be thankful. And, that each day I awake to a new dawn and G-d's forgiveness.
tomorrow, and the new chance she brings . Yesterday is for the learning, and tomorrow is for the living.
The more I considered this question, the more I realised I was grateful for!
My family
My partner
My close friends
My health
The home I live in
My life!
There is so much in my life I'm so unaware of, I hope to be more mindful of the gifts given to me
My children. It has taught me to be less selfish about spending my money on clothes and frivelous things all the time and share it bettering my childrens lives and childhood.
