what is something you're grateful for?

I'm grateful for having my own washer and dryer. That may sound odd, but for most of the first part of my life, we lived in rentals and that meant we had to HOPE no one else was using the machines when we needed to do laundry. And we always had to be sure to have lots of quarters.

Just now my husband was working in the yard and got some stuff smeared all over his pants. All I had to do was use a little stain-out spray on them and then toss them in the washer. No packing them up and driving to the laundromat and having to sit there for an hour or two IF there was a machine available.

Lots of other little conveniences I'm grateful for too. How about you?

Everything, especially my health. I've worked hard most of my life for good health and for the material things, too.

I'm grateful for the life I've had. Not all was perfect, but all in all, I was blessed.

There are quite a few, but mostly, my mother and father are still living and doing well for their age.

My health. But more specifically, my catarct surgery. I started wearing glasses in second grade. Then I moved to contacts in High School (Thank GOD for contacts). I had a VERY strong prescription.

When I got cataracts at what I think is a "young" age, I went for the surgery to remove them and get multi focal lenses - though I do sometimes still need reading glasses.

But overall, I see really well. My DH and I have been riding our bikes everyday and I love being out in the open and able to see so clearly. This is probably one of the few health related things that can be better when you get older. No more coke bottle glasses. No more contacts. No more contact solution. EVER!

@kitcat51 😂 The T V remote!

I agree! I recall my son and I going to a shop to buy our first remote for the T V. My husband wouldn't go even to look and he said to get the cheaper one that was attached by a long cord.
When I looked at them I could envision my husband sitting in his recliner holding the remote with the long cord and what a hazard it would be.
We returned with the better one and he loved it! He was in control!

I am grateful for my strong faith and sense of humor.

They work hand in hand in getting me through a day.

Today, I am most grateful for a sound mind and as my southern grandmother would often say, "a REASONABLE portion of health and strength"; things of much more importance to me now than ever.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

45 years of love and companionship with a wonderful man, nothing else even comes close.

For me, it's the basics. Good, healthy food on my table and a solid roof over my head, since so many have neither.

@godi I agree. What more could anyone want? Materials things just come and go. The best part of life today is my little granddaughters. They add so much happiness for me.

For living; for legs that can walk; for arms that move when I tell them to move; for ears that can hear; for eyes that can see; for having all my bodily functions working properly; for being able to live independently; for having a place to stay; for having food to eat; for not having to interface with people in person; for living in the United States of America; for having peace in my life. . .

I am grateful that my husband and I were able to purchase our own home. It may not be fancy but it's paid off and we can enjoy sitting in our backyard watching the birds and squirrels.
