What are you grateful for today?

[progmom]

I've got three things that spring to mind:

1. I am just so glad arwalden has come back to DU.
2. I'm meeting two of my favorite people in the world for happy hour drinks and conversation today.
3. this little boy right here:

[1gobluedem]

1. Well I WAS feeling grateful

For being one of your favorite people in the world. But, since I'm not invited for drinks, I guess I'm not...:evilgrin:

Hee, hee...just teasing. Everytime I look at the three little faces I have in my life, I'm grateful. And I'm grateful that it's less than an hour to quitting time...

[progmom]

4. let the record show...

I called 1gobluedem but she is unavailable tonight. ;)

[1gobluedem]

7. Yes, she did...

...and I am grateful. :D

[progmom]

10. and i am grateful you're joining our book group!

I'll try to get a copy of The Historian for you. :D

[1gobluedem]

18. Will it be like my former book club?

After we finished reading we'd bake with the EZ Bake Oven, do art projects, or play Twister. I assume all book clubs like this? And I can supply the EZ Bake Oven, the art supplies, and the Twister game...:-)

[progmom]

22. no, i believe there might be a little more alcohol involved in this one

:D

But go ahead and bring your EZ Bake Oven. :rofl:

[1gobluedem]

Oh, there was alcohol involved in the last one!

Have you ever tried to bake with twin seven year-olds? It's easier with this in EZ reach :beer:

[progmom]

29. It's all become clear to me now.

:rofl:

btw, isn't this smiley more appropriate for your tastes?

[1gobluedem]

30. Yes!

But I am smiley-challenged -- never saw that one.

[progmom]

31. it's not one of the DU smileys

elad apparently prefers guinness. :D

[miss_american_pie]

2. These two

Lots of other things as well, but always these two

[progmom]

5. awwwwww.....

:D:D:D:D

[Misunderestimator]

3. I'm grateful for those very same things.

:loveya:

[progmom]

8. Yay!

Are you going to try the mussels tonight?
If you do, I might just have some. The broth is soooooooooooo good!

[Misunderestimator]

26. You betcha!

[Karenina]

6. I'm grateful that

Karneval is OVER! :silly:

[progmom]

12. where do you live?

I used to live in the southern part of Holland...it was INSANE there. All the bars would board up their windows and remove all the chairs and tables. It was just one HUGE party for days.

[rbnyc]

9. beautiful boy

and kitty looks like my jones!

[progmom]

14. That's the cat who has adopted my parents.

He lives up the block, but spends most of his day knocking at their back door. :D

[Fox Mulder]

11. I guess I'm grateful that I'm not dead.

:shrug:

[progmom]

15. That is a very reasonable thing to be grateful for!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Today, I am grateful for love in my life........

:loveya:

[progmom]

16. Oh, me too.

i feel so rich in that regard.

[Minnesota Libra]

17. You've got ALOT to be thankful for and as for me......

.....

I'm SO THANKFUL for DU :yourock:

I'm thankful for my grandbaby :O8)

I'm thankful for my friends :bounce:

and....

I'm thankful people are FINALLY starting to wake up to Bush's crap:eyes: (almost typed the "s" word, oops)

[realFedUp]

19. finding out that chocolate lowers your blood pressure....

I think that's just smelling it though :-)

[arwalden]

20. Oh You... Stop It!

:hug: :loveya:

In no particular order... here are three that come to mind.

I'm grateful for Lesbians!
I'm grateful for Tequila!
I'm grateful for Puppies!

[Blue-Jay]

21. What? You're not grateful for THE CAT?!?

What kind of horrible monster are you?

:cry:

[redqueen]

23. The list would be far too long.

I'll just list the top three:

1. My kids
2. My sis
3. Him

[DanCa]

24. I can walk today.

I can walk today unaided which is rare given that it's so damp and my legs usually require at least a cane to balance with. I am grateful for my friends on DU which have helped me through some dark periods which normally result in mind numbing depression. I am grateful that walk the line is out on DVD today.

[SeattleGirl]

25. Today, and every day, I'm grateful for

*my daughter
*my family
*my friends, especially those of you I've met here on DU
*my job

[Texasgal]

27. Well, I am grateful

That I have such good friends and family!

And I am grateful that I have a funtioning liver, someone very near and dear to me is near death due to liver failure. :cry: I am thankful, that I can atleast be there for him to help him through his passage. :cry:

[khashka]

33. Oh, Texasgal! I am so sorry.....

This must be a very rough time for you. I've lost many loved ones..... but being there for them is one of the most wonderful and powerful things you can do. I'm sure he is grateful to have you in his life. I know I would be.

:hug:

Khash.

[khashka]

28. I am grateful for many things... but just at this moment?

1) OK, this might seem like kissing up... but... DU. For providing an opportunity to meet so many fascinating and wonderful people. Some who have become dear friends. Without it, I'd never have met any of them.

2) Always and forever, all the loving people in my life. I often think I don't deserve the love and care they shower on me. But I also think about all the people who have so little love in their lives and wonder how they survive.... and count myself among the luckiest of men.

3) Hitachi. The Magic Wand. Masturbation has never been so much fun! I advise everyone to get one. Now! (Yeah, who didn't see that coming?)

Khash, deleted again.

[texas1928]

32. That I havE a job and I havE not gottEn in troublE yEt.

:D

[swag]

34. San Pellegrino burpwater

[progmom]

36. i buy that by the case

:hi:

[SOteric]

35. A loving family which is not particularly dysfunctional,

• Rewarding jobs, even if they vex me from time to time,
  
• The opportunity to have travelled and seen much of the world,
  
• A fuzzy little brown cat who is possibly the best all-around kitty in the whole world,
  
• The skills and talents I have acquired or been gifted with,
  
• Being intelligent,
  
• A man whose eyes are the colour of stones under water.

[Call Me Wesley]

37. I'm grateful for

the family I have and the opportunities within it.

The friends, near and far, who just are, no matter of how many times you see them or not.

The paths we still walk and the paths that still lay ahead of us to be walked on. (Yes, the bridges are counted in.)

[Metta]

38. My wife, the peace in our home and the baby panda.

The bp is a gateway to infinite, divine love. Also, progressive Democrats who hold up the mirror to this evil, tyrannical administration. :thumbsup: :donut:

[underpants]

39. I'm grateful that Zombie could be with us and jpgray's condescending

attitude...I am grateful for my baby and my health and jpgray's condscending attitude....I am grateful that I have smilie that reflects that I am only kidding :bounce:

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. I am also grateful for jpgray's condescending attitude.

It's about time someone around here who has the goods to back it up gets to be condescending for a change. :D

[stellanoir]

[astonamous]

44. My dogs...

...They are keeping me company and making me laugh.




I just gave Patsy (the one on the left) a couple of raisins and she chewed on them for 20 minutes. I don't know if that meant she liked them or she thought it was gum and was trying to blow bubbles.

[bridgit]

45. i am grateful....

for finishing our route, having gone to mary's for a pitcher & burger, entering reports here at home (perhaps the most grateful for that) while listening to hubby's deep forest CD with tim nipping at my ankles
