3. house
4. healty
5. friends
6. no money worries.

Wonderful, that gives me hope

I haven't been blessed with health or vitality but I am very grateful for a loving family and partner who shelter me from the harsher realities of the world that I would have faced otherwise. They truly are a gift from god and I only hope and aim to deserve them.

Oh yes, definitely my sobriety - 13 years now, and our psychotic old cat

My husband, my cat, my kids, my sobriety.

Health - so important, a very close and amazing family who all also have their health, a warm and happy house, a job I really enjoy, enough money to survive, if not have much left over at the end of the month

Mainly I'm incredibly thankful that I'm not the kind of bitter unpleasant person - the type of which I have shockingly noticed so many on here - who hate:
a)poor people - they haven't worked hard enough
b) disabled people - they shouldn't have anything nice
c) immigrants - they are all vile rapists or scroungers
d) single mothers who are on benefits - it's definitely, 100% always their own fault, even if their children's father died.
Anyone really who they can sneer at and blame for society's ills.

So yes, I am thankful to be a decent person who, despite my lack of private school education, a very low earning job, no second home or huge pension pot, and a state pensioner husband, was absolutely brought up properly.

Profoundly grateful to God; He never leaves my side.

Healthy and supportive family and a relationship that has enabled our children to be brought up to be natured and loved by both their parents and them to develop to be empathetic and compassionate members of society. And to be fortunate to earn enough to afford the space to keep lovely 🐐 and other animals.

My amazing husband ..we've been together 38 years
My Daughters and their husbands and my two grandsons.
I'm 56 and my job is rubbish and low paid ,we don't have a lot of income but we have a home we own and enough.

My husband too, is wonderful but my main thing is the fact that we are able to help out our adult children who despite working full time struggle sometimes. We aren’t rich by any stretch of the imagination but can make sure they don’t end up in debt. My parents could do the same for me, so just passing it on down.

My husband, my kids, my lovely little house with a wood burning stove and a dog.

So much. My husband. Sounds cheesy but he is my best friend and favourite person.

My kids. 18 and 20 and healthy and happy (atm. Happiness levels can vary but all normal, manageable things thank goodness). ND so I know how hard things can be for them and how different it could be. I'm happy they're happy.

My mum still being here. She has stage 4 lung cancer with liver mets. Grateful we have some time with her.

It's in a state, but thankful for NHS. Particularly since own issues and Mum's diagnosis. When I think of some people in other countries who can't access healthcare and medication. Can't imagine what that's like.

We're not rich. Not well off. But we're comfortable. Had a few financial hits lately and not much in the pot but we're lucky we can pay the bills and don't struggle. Have been there before. Its a scary feeling to have nothing.

My husband - he is a very good human being. My cute rescue dog who gives us so much love.

I love where I live - 5 minutes from a national park and 5 minutes from the sea. A great community.

We are mortgage free and I am grateful for that. Not rich, but we are OK financially. And we're both pretty healthy.

I am happy with my life.

Nice thread.

Always thankful for my lovely husband who is so loving and kind. So much patience and wisdom. He always knows what I need. Spoilt rotten in many ways. He’s just great. My best friend.

Two healthy & happy children. They don’t give me any trouble. Good natured, polite, feisty in the best ways, just great kids.

Good health. All of us.

My job. Work from home, it’s flexible, it’s pretty easy, paid well. Bit of stress now and again, but it’s good stress.

A supportive and loving wider family. Everyone gets on, there’s never any drama.

Financial security. Never have to worry about money, which makes life easy and enjoyable.

These things could change at any time, so I always remind myself how lucky I am. I am always thankful.

Husband 100 %
wonderful children
heating, water, electric etc etc!
a decent food shop budget
health
v little stress (now)
inner peace

Goes without saying: my lovely husband and children.

But also my education, long ago in the 60s and 70s. Small, wonderful prep/primary school then a girls’ grammar school. I was a working class child but I was academic and my education introduced me to music, art and literature which have been a lifelong pleasure. I simply cannot imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn’t had these things to enrich it…and which I’ve passed on to my children.

Honestly - if you have these things you can enjoy life with very little money!

My DH, his calmness, kindness and generosity.

Our good health into our 50s and 60s.

Our house and garden.

How much I love living in our little town.

Being able to afford treats, such as eating out, whenever we feel like it.

My sobriety.

My husband who is a very good man who loves me. Being able to have and raise two children. Not having to worry day to day about money. My physical health

My children, my reasonable health for my age, my not rich but comfortable life in retirement, my resilience as life keeps throwing me curved balls but I can always pick myself up and dust myself down. Tomorrow is another day!

That my gorgeous, brilliant husband has finally landed an amazing job after 18 months of redundancy, during which time he (senior marketing exec earning £££££) took on the ONLY job he was offered, which was an 8 HR a week NMW retail job, and took on all of the house and life admin whilst I went back to a full on, full time job in my previous profession after 14 years out as a SAHM.

I am grateful for my family and friends, my beloved cat, my job, and my little cat.
