Thriving: What are you grateful for?

[Gardener]

whatisis,
Great idea for a thread. I also thought that "Thriving" would be a more apt term when I first came over here. "Surviving" almost feels like it should have the word "barely" before it!

I am filled with gratitude for:

-Life. Breath.
-Two wonderful grown sons with whom I have close, loving relationships.
-Two wonderful grown stepchildren who I have loved as my own for 18 years and who I still love beyond measure despite their inexplicably "cutting me off" several months ago. They, too, are in pain.
-My brother, Tom, who has always been a good brother to me.
-My faith.
-Meditation.
-My health.
-Food, shelter, clothing.
-Rock and Roll.
-My detachment, peace, and acceptance which were lost to me for so long during the sitch.
-Good, true friends.
-Those you on these boards who I have grown to know, love, admire and rely upon.
-The wonder of Nature
-Work that I love.
-Having moved Heaven and Earth to try to reach my former dear friend's heart to save and re-invent a once blissful marriage.
-Reeses Pieces.
-The chance to write my next chapter, create a new future.
-Being an American.
-Monty Python.
-Over four years of effortless sobriety.
-Stars.
-Sunflowers.
-Songbirds.
-This moment.

-And I am grateful for this thread and for the realization it gave me that even in the aftermath of heartbreak I could easily write pages of things I am blessed with and grateful for.
