I always try to think of one thing every single day that i am grateful for, and it seems i always find more than one! so I thought it might be fun to post this here and add one thing each day and see how it grows. If you want to add to it, just finish the sentence "today, I am grateful for" and put it in your reply below. Doesn't have to be something big, just something you're grateful for, maybe something you would not ordinarily think about.
Today, I am grateful for the beautiful white flowers on my strawberry plants.
I am grateful for the peace in my heart after much distress over the past 4 + months with family problems.
Grateful to be working in a field that I love and enjoy.
Grateful to have a God who loves me more than I can ever imagine .
Grateful to be able to worship God freely in many ways on a daily basis.
Grateful to have a supportive husband and 3 rescued dogs who give me such joy and love and allow me to return their love all the time.
Grateful for many friends who care for me, not because they have to , but they want to be there for me. A very special gift given freely.
Today I am greatful for:
my beautiful daughter
my wonderful husband
the cold weather outside and the heater and blankets inside

Today, 9-11 I am grateful that we have come far enough to be happy on this date again, even though we don't forget. And I am grateful that my son's birthfamily has contacted us and is doing well.
I know what you mean! The start of fall can be so high-stress, what with school starting, weather turning colder, holiday season approaching with all the plans you have to make, etc. Sometimes gratitude is such an effort!
today I'm not feeling very grateful. I don't want school to start in the morning.
Well today I am grateful for rain. I kind of have to be, as it has rained almost non-stop for two days now! LOL
Today I am grateful for the friends who keep in touch even when I have convinced myself that I'm too busy to reciprocate, and for their multiple invitations so that when I finally feel like I have to say yes, and spend the day dreading an evening doing nothing but talking, I really, really enjoy myself.
Hi Echo -- I like your list! Sunflowers especially. :)
The mosquitoes have been fierce this past week, which got me thinking about all the "bugs" of summer. The crickets, whose song provide a constant refrain during these warmer months. (I find I miss that in the winter -- it's too quiet!)
The fireflies, of course. The grasshoppers that my cats love to chase through the grass. Preying mantises keeping other plant-eating bugs at bay. The bees tirelessly pollinating.
So, today I am grateful for the insects of summer.
today I am grateful for free August bounty, blackberries, wild plums, towering redwoods, smiling sunflowers and a warm river to swim in.
keep meaning to post to this but I have been so busy with garden stuff lately!!
Today, I am just grateful for the gift of a gorgeous day. It may sound corny, but the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the sky is blue. It is beautiful out. I am grateful for that!!
Kinda continuing the garden theme today: Today I decided to be grateful for rain, as I watched it gently watering my newly planted herb garden. (It's been raining a ton lately, but today just provided a nice, gentle shower for a few minutes.)
Today am grateful for loving family, friends & Guidepost magazine. God Bless! :)
