What are you grateful for?

Post Reply New Topic

Whenever I get down on myself for being chronically (and possibly intractably) single, it is really helpful to indentify those things in my life for which I am really grateful. Everyone can think of something, and it's definitely worth doing.

What I'm grateful for:

- I have two beautiful, healthy, happy children who are doing well in school.
- My business is booming
- I am achieving/over-achieving the physical fitness goals I set for myself

How about you?

I am grateful for having this community it is helping me you guys are like my familiy I <3 you all

I am trying very hard to think what but at least you have had a relationship that has produced two children and things are going well-well I have never had any kind of relationship and it doesn't look like I ever will-I missed out on experiences and life milestones my peers have had and they are things I will never have now-diagnosed late in life I now know why and understand but even other aspies reject me because of my looks and supposedly my personality-after being told originally it was a problem with a difference in age. Guess that blows the myth about aspies not lying.

I'm grateful that I have friends who care about me.

I'm grateful to have a family that tolerates me.

I'm grateful for my dog.

I'm grateful that I'm back to being myself and liking the 60s again.

I'm grateful for the music that spans from Beatlemania through to 1969.

I'm grateful that I have a clubhouse to go to.

I'm grateful for WrongPlanet.

I'm grateful
- that I have a supportive wife who is and always has been understanding towards me.
- that my parents have finally accepted and started understanding my problems. Made a huge difference, as they always used to criticize earlier.
- that I recently found an aspie within 50 km radius (I'm from India).
- for WrongPlanet. Thank you Alex Plank!

BTW, should this thread really be in 'Love and Dating'?

I am grateful for: (1) I have great friends and family who love me (2) I am healthy (3) I am nearly fully recovered from a broken heart from my last relationship and (4) I sold my house in August - it took 13 months to do so!

Yes, see the first sentance in the OP.

I'm rarely ever content, I rarely ever feel accomplished so I'm forever setting expectations and goals high for myself, in a way I think that's healthy because it drives me to aim higher but at the same time, i feel sometimes it's a negative way of thinking. Today I was accepting everything for what it is and showing gratitude and I did feel more relaxed in myself.

I have the ugly habit of seeing things way too negatively all the time, and of forgetting to be grateful for what I do have.

I am grateful that I have a son, although I never really wanted children. In a way he is the best thing that ever happened to me. He has brought me into close contact with my inner emotions, and generally made me a better, more sensitive person.

1.) Good health

2.) Writing ability

3.) TV

4.) Pepsi

....everything else is either negative or irrelevant!

Im grateful for the amazing animals in my life, who always seem to make the world seem nice again even if it appears gray and jaded.

Grateful to my family for their help.

And grateful that the online world exists.

I'm sad?

Me too.

My wonderful family.

- My family

- My friends

- The wonderful country I live in

- Having a roof over my head and food on the table

- The DSP which is currently allowing me to support myself during my illness.

- Music, film, literature, art

- the intellectual abilities I do have

- the opportunity to study and go to university

- the singing tuition I received

- nature

- being alive

I could go on forever but I won't.

I like your list!
