Giving Thanks - What Are You Grateful For Today?
This month marks the beginning of the traditional holiday season, complete with Thanksgiving - a holiday devoted to being grateful for the bounty in our lives. It’s a time to take notice of what we have, whether that’s things, or people.I have so much to be grateful for this holiday season - a thriving community of givers, a newly released book, wonderful friends and family, my health, and the opportunity to share the spirit of the 29 Gifts movement with thousands of people.
So in the spirit of the upcoming holiday, as well as that of our 29 Gifts Movement, I have decided to start this discussion in hopes that each of you will leave replies telling us 3 (or more!) things in your life that you are grateful for. What are you grateful for today?
I've also begun a Gratitude Greetings event for this month. You can read more and join in here:

I am grateful for my family, the lovely fall weather here, the flood of love and support that I receive from friends and family, the ability to spend so much time with my young children as they grow, and simultaneously be self employed with wonderful clients.

Today I am grateful for:-
1) My wonderful family.
2) A clear trip to the airport and back just before and during rush hour with no delays. (where did all the traffic go?)
3) A beautiful sunny day to dry all my laundry after two weeks of family visiting.

I'm grateful for gorgeous autumn weather and colorful leaves in the trees, my return to health after a 5 month long relapse of MS, my children, my grandchildren and my wonderful husband who is my support. And, I'm grateful I heard about this site and about the 29 days of gifts!

Today I am grateful that Jackson keeps responding to his treatment; that it is a beautiful, windy day--perfect; that I walked 3 miles with a friend and it felt like 5 mins.; that I've got a husband who takes me for what I am; that I've got friends who make me laugh.....so many more things!

The fact that it is Saturday afternoon and I am still in my jammies and slippers
That John took the kids out to the Chinese buffet for lunch
The nice soap I found in the closet - made by Afghan women
