I am grateful for cold feet! That's right. It's chilly and my feet are freezing.
I spent most of my life feeling nothing. Numb in heart and body. I am thankful today for feeling a part of the world around me, and not apart from it anymore.

I am grateful for so much today. My loved ones, how they make me smile... Their health and happiness.
I am also grateful for all of the difficult times I had gone through for without those, I wouldnt realize what blessings I have in my life right now.
Foremost in my mind, I am grateful for my boyfriend. He has shown me what a man should be. His heart and character separate him above all others.

I'm grateful that I straightened out my life, stopped using really bad drugs, and accepted what I am. I'm grateful that long struggle is over and I was able to earn a living being the person I am. I'm grateful for my kids, especially for their good health and their unconditional love. I'm grateful that I was able to save my son from that evil thing that had him surgically removed from her abdomen and the life he and I have made together. Nothing in the world comes close to the feeling I get when those little arms wrap around my neck when he's sleepy and I'm carrying him to bed and he says, "I love you daddy."

Although, lately, I've heard those same words uttered through the lips of an angel..... While the context in which they are spoken is decidedly and appropriately different, the same warmth radiates through my heart. It is something wonderful. It is that person from whom those words escape that I am smitten, and for whom I am eternally grateful.

John,
Thank you for setting an example of what true gratitude is all about and reminding us of what is truly precious in this life.

Thank you for reminding us of the things worth living for.
