Counting my blessings! I have always been blessed with health, comfort, happiness and joy in my life, however, one of the main things that I’m extremely thankful for is my ability to be able to take care of my children as a single parent with a completely absent father. My daughters are so blessed that I can afford to give them so much in life.What are you thankful for?

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.

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

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

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.
