Yep...still grateful! - Reef-Geeks

Barbara · Geekette

So......lately, I've been taking inventory of my life - the good/bad, happy/sad, difficult/easy, and my shortcomings/assets - and I've discovered that working through it all, I keep coming back to gratitude

...maybe I'm growing in a good direction after all!

I'm truly grateful for so many things, and it's this amazing feeling that's getting me through a difficult time and steering me in a positive direction...It seemed appropriate to share this at this time and with you all.

Just a few things I'm grateful for right at this moment:

the many friends I've made on this forum, and the awesome community that's been built here - - and that's ALL because of YOU
guidance from somethin' bigger than me
support and care from friends who reach out
strength, courage and wisdom that I didn't know I had
my mom
my job - - a job - - that I actually like and am good at
my health
my babies (Riley and KoKo)
a home

I know there are many more things but these just popped out at this moment.

I felt compelled to share and hope that in some way it helps you all realize how fortunate you are too!

I'd sooooooooooooooooooo love to hear from you all too! (Yes...that's a GREAT big HINT

)

forgot:
I'm grateful for forgiveness too....from myself and others....and also for acceptance - of so many "things'

Pat B · Geektacular

That's a good list Barb. I'm with you on all but your babies, but I am grateful that you have them too.

And I am also grateful for having such a great place to get my geek on.

I'm grateful that all the mistakes I've made in my life have been ones I have been able to overcome and learn from. I know too many people that have made mistakes and have to live with them the rest of their life.

I am also grateful for my wonderful family. My son is the light of my life and I am looking forward to meeting my next child next May

My hubby isn't too bad either

And I'm very grateful for this wonderful site that has kept my passion for this hobby going!! Love to ALL the geeks ^_^
