I'm thankful for 2 wonderful kids. (Do I have to do this one thing I'm grateful for at a time?) I know people who have so much to be grateful for that seem to only want to focus on the negatives in their lives.

I am thankful for my two wonderful children (Josh and Lucy). I am thankful for Mum, even though she has now passed away, I still feel her love and guidance. Ever present, giving me strength and the desire to carry on when things get though.

i'm gratfull to all the bullies and my horrible father ,thanks to them i grew up to be a guy that hated confrontation and i guy that was used to getting knocked down a lot ,so i learned its not how many times you get knocked down that matters all that counts is that you keep getting back up , it has come in real handy for the bad things that happened in my later life if you dont get back up the fight is over

I am grateful that it is saturday and I have to do nothing. I am going to rest and play with my daughter. I think we will go see shriek three. Monday I have to take her to the childrens hospital for some testing, on top of everything I have going on. She is first in my book. So, what I am grateful for is I have found the strength to get through this all. Thank you everybody for listening.
