Grateful

[umyesh]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone whether you’re celebrating or not. I’m very grateful for this amazing community and all my “scrap friends” as I call you.

To celebrate gratitude, please share one thing you’re grateful for. An attitude of gratitude is always a good thing!

I’ll go first and keep it light. I’m thankful for my bed!

I'm grateful for two things....good health (albeit with chronic health issues but they are stable so it's good news) & connection. Valuing connection especially to family has become way more important this year than it ever has.....not that it didn't matter before but it matters to me even more now.

If I was keeping it lighthearted, I'd be right there with you @umyesh or the other thing I'm greatful for is my desk fan....that thing has been going most days for the last two to three weeks and I imagine it will still be going through til February if this hot humid weather continues

I'm thankful I finally figured out what I want to make for my Thanksgiving feast. I was inspired by this video when it appeared in my YouTube feed Monday evening.

I love all of these Jennifer. Good health is always such a blessing and connection is so important. I also appreciate a good fan, especially sitting through hot sporting events in the blaring sun.

Yay for a vegan Thanksgiving menu! I hope you loved it Michele!

Right this moment I'm grateful for my eye drops because my allergies are really bugging me! But seriously, so grateful for our community, a lovely place to live, and not feeling obligated to holiday this year for Thanksgiving (we are all exhausted in our little home). I'm grateful for the people I work with, my church family and that my kids are all ok.

I'm grateful for the counseling my daughter is receiving here (Alberta, we moved from BC) and that she is doing so well. She is still grieving the loss of her only child (Bailey) but is now starting to find joy in life and for the first time is looking forward to Xmas. We have invited friends over to spend the day with us and there will be 7 of us for dinner but maybe up to 14.

I'm thankful for The Lilypad, and hope all who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful holiday! I'm also grateful for working cars that help us travel safely. We gathered with family about an hour away today.

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving but I wish a great moment for all who celebrate it.
I am grateful that my family is relatively healthy and that my children are thriving in what they do.
I am also grateful for this wonderful community here at The Lilypad.

I am greatful for my post injury and post surgery recovery. I can now nearly do all the things I did before again now. Only thing left is to work on my fitness - that's much lower right now than it was before, but although it will take time and effort I am grateful that I am now physically able to do that again.

I am grateful for my mom, who has spent her week off of work* at our house so that I can have a bit of a break. She's stayed up late to get my son to sleep so that I can sleep and has given me time to scrap.

* She's a teacher and schools close for the whole week of Thanksgiving here

So happy that you're recovering well!

I can't even imagine how hard it's been for her, for you. But we move forward, carrying love and grief. Humans are amazing like that. Glad she's getting help.

Glad you got a break...moms need those!

I love all this gratitude. I’m thankful for eye drops too because they save my daughter’s eyes with contacts.

A good counselor is so helpful. I’m sorry for her loss and glad she is starting to find joy again.

I’m grateful for reliable cars too! It makes traveling much more enjoyable.

I’m glad you are fully recovered Angela. What a great blessing our physical health is.

That’s so nice of your mom. I hope you had a wonderful time sleeping and scrapping!
