What are you grateful for...?

July 22, 2025 10:40AM
I'm grateful for reduced spending with mystery shopping. I just bagged another steak shop with small fee and no time limit between shops; must be because families are on vacation.

I'm grateful for a wonderful spouse. Still to this day, the kindest person I've ever met.

I'm grateful for being raised by a single mother of very modest income and her mother. They instilled good moral values and a frugal mindset in me. It's paid off well.

I'm grateful for our health. I know it won't last forever.

I'm grateful for the American way of life; from my ancestors who helped create it, to our collective efforts in getting it back on track.

I'm grateful for our wonderful capitalist system which enabled us to earn, save, and invest. It allowed us to retire early. I've come to realize that it's highly unlikely we'll ever spend it all.

Oh, there were some lessons learned along the way, people I've met that I could have done without, but overall, no real regrets.

How about you? What are you grateful for...?

These forums. As someone else used an acronym in another thread, for better or for worse smiling smiley

Please don't feed the MSF trolls!

Feeding the MSF trolls bread or other human food is detrimental to their health and the environment. It can lead to malnutrition, disease, and behavioral problems in trolls, as well as water pollution and the spread of pests. Trolls are capable of finding their own food sources and don't require human assistance.

I am 'thankful in all things'

My garden in England is full of eating-out places, for heat waves, warm September evenings, or lunch on a chilly Christmas morning. (Mary Quant)

I am thankful for: Almighty God; A good woman, my wife;
My kids and grandkids; My country; A good meal; and
A good night's sleep;

To get sentimental, I'm grateful for my health and being able to support and provide for myself and immediate family. Parents, siblings, fiancee, future children. If something catastrophic happened, I would still be set for the rest of my life.

I'm grateful that I've been able to figure out the things that matter in life and equipped to take on more responsibilities and challenges. smiling smiley

I am thankful that you reminded me what I am to be thankful for! I am thankful my cancer is in remission. I am thankful I was able to work during my treatments. (Give or take some time when I was not doing well). I am thankful for the route I have because it saved me from cancer. I was forced to go out, act positive, meet people, and be physically active when all I wanted to do was lie in bed.

I am grateful most of all that my son is kind and compassionate toward people he disagrees with. He always tries to find the common ground. He makes me a better person for knowing him.

I am grateful for cool breezes on humid NYC days. I am grateful for the people I encounter on my routes. They share so much with me. I learn from them. I share their hopes and worries. I am grateful for the sunrise and the smell of cut grass. I have food to eat and a place to live. I have a dog who adores me. How amazing is the love and devotion of a dog?!

I am grateful to the people here who freely share information so we can all learn and grow together.
