• I am thankful for my morning calming rituals.

• For my pretty house that provides a forcefield to keep the bad stuff away, LOL.

• For my laptop that I'm on right now, it's so comfy to work on, to Google stuff, do go everywhere in the world. I never thought I would like to read the newspaper online, but now I subscribe to it online.

• For my exercise class, it's this afternoon.

• For my fiance who knows that I'm fragile right now and a little crazy and understands that I need him to be my rock without me telling him. My DF thinks I sometimes allow myself to 'fall apart' because I know he is there to support me. He says I have been doing things for so long myself and depending only on myself that I am now allowing him to take up some of the concern. I don't know if that's true, but I am glad that he's there.

I am thankful for my husband who believes I can do anything.

- My eyesight to see all the wonderful things in this world
- My home, especially after seeing the footage of Haiti right now
- My car cranked this morning
- Cell phone and Internet to keep in touch with loved ones and the world
- Fingers that work

Today I am grateful for:

The kind of invitation that leads to a trip for work...
... where I get to see my little sister, who lives in Scotland
the gym
having breakfast muesli ready to go this morning
cat cuddles

- a healthy day yesterday & willingness to try - I am so grateful

- cold improving

- a good talk with my sister yesterday - I will go to California when she has her surgery

- facebook - I keep finding so many old friends - wow - it's very joyful

- my family, friends, this site

Today I am thankful for:

• The Terminix lady who is so pleasant and so thorough and doesn't try to sell me new stuff.

• My very tidy tenants, may they rub off on me some.

• Being able to order stuff on the internet and get it in a few days. Remember when anything mailorder would take months?

• My ability to focus which I am going to apply today.

• Another pound bites the dust.

- that the ladies' night I hosted yesterday went so well, with laughter, belly aching laughter, fun, good times, and more laughter;

- that I have an awesome therapist;

- that with her help I can recognise patterns in my behaviour that are less than I deserve and can learn to fix them;

- that I have friends and colleagues who I can turn to for advice and counsel;

- that my prayer life (speaking tentatively) has been growing stronger recently.

- I weighed myself yesterday and I usually overeat the day I weigh - but, I DID NOT - I stayed with my plan. I am very very grateful.

- I bought my plane ticket for LA yesterday. My sister is having a back surgery in two places in Feb and I am going out to help. Flying out of Cleveland - round trip, non-stop less that $400 - great price

- Friday we go to see son, dil, grandson.

- I feel, finally, that this head cold is heading towards the end.

- family, friends, this site, cell phone, internet, facebook

• For hope.
• For water after a long walk.
• For accomplishing a long walk which, since my car accident, has been difficult.
• For prayers that come true.
• For my lovely man.

- another day within my calorie range - I am so grateful for the willingness to keep trying

- 32nd anniversary - we were married in the blizzard of -78. Everything was changed and went wrong. Horrible wedding. Grateful that the marriage was better than the wedding!

- doing my stretches feel good

- clementines
