Hi Everyone

I love this thread. It’s a great chance to celebrate what makes me happy.

Further to my post last week…

I’m grateful to have permanent employment in a job I really like.  I’m also grateful to have a team of people who are dedicated and I genuinely care about. They’re good people.

And now I’m grateful to be happily take a weeks break for a trip overseas. An itinerary that’s packed. And the prospect of sharing it all with my closest friend.

I feel terribly spoilt and indulgent. But I also know that I’ve worked hard to make sure I’m stable for all of this. And that I’ve earned it.

Wow that's great news on all fronts @Delicatessen 

You'll have to tell us about your walks when you get back

@amber22 hello Amber and everyone. I am grateful that the work week ended on a good note. And my mood is reasonably stable. Have a good evening.

Good evening @Meowmy @Shaz51 @Dimity @Delicatessen @amber22 @tonys @hanami @tyme @Paperdaisy @Appleblossom @maddison @ShiningStar @Snowie and all forumites here. Thanks for sharing all of the things you’re each grateful for! I 💗the gratitude posts you put up @Shaz51 ! I really need to get back into doing this as it was something I had to do each day as part of my recent PARCS admission last month and I did enjoy it. I think I’ll also look at purchasing a gratitude journal as well to make this a daily habit!

As for me, I’m grateful for the following things tonight:

- The local library being open until 9 tonight as I had to go there to charge my phone when the power went out at my place at 7pm tonight. It was finally restored at 9:15.

- Having some balls of wool to knit my charity blanket with my knitting needles at the library tonight to fill in time!

- My car with fuel in it to get both my housemate and I to the library from our house 

- My cat Mitz who was glad to see me when I returned home from the library 

- My mobile phone so I was able to contact my sister to let her know where I was and to contact the power company to check on the power outage situation

- Having enough money in my bank account to pay for dinner (pizza from a local place) as we couldn’t cook dinner due to the power outage.

That’s all from me tonight! Enjoy the rest of the night!

@Judi9877    Well I can tell straight off your a real trooper,   thanks for  putting that Up

Hope its   O  k  if I hand my limp home work in.   Bit  Late

Every ones really painted this thread In really bright colours  already.     And I'm a pretty lucky fella as it happens.

So all thats left for me to add is,  I'm grateful for my dreams,  and that I  always wake remembering  them,  and find joy  escaping in day dreams.  

I'm  also so glad  I don't dwell   too much in the 'hopes and aspirations' 

 cloud.     Not that smart.

so my worst disappointment  these days,  is an empty yabby net. . .    

and I'm grateful to those who are tolerant of my disabilities and short  comings. 

Did piece called,  . . the poor mans poem, .  .   a few weeks ago.      Oh  boy,   I  wish I put here instead.       

  Very best wishes and thanks to all that pilot this thread.  .  .    tonys  moon base 1

Great news @Judi9877 

To be able to find so many positives and be grateful for so many things is wonderful/
