I am working on these today. Look for my answers in another article.

Thanks, Cori, Donna and Nan. These do make good articles and it helps to remember how well off we really are.

I answered this at another person's post, same questions, but I can do a brief summary here. I appreciate friends who can truly listen (and i try to do the same), appreciate my home because we used the benefit of my (now deceased) father's building savvy to make a good choice and i think of him often, offer a silent "thank you" nearly every time I walk in the door because we LOVE our home, I'm happy right now to be blessed with family, good health and relative security (I don't take that for granted), am grateful to be financially on track, with balanced saving and spending plans, love my family for their caring and hugs, feel peaceful when I take a warm bath, read a good book, reconnect with family and friends and when I'm snowed in with plenty of food and a roaring fire in the fireplace. Bliss!

P.S. If anyone want to read about any of these topics: saving money, a book review of a mystery or wants to contribute with info on how to deal with learning challenges in a child, please click my name and feel free to check out any of those articles.

Thanks, Charlotte, for commenting on a recent article. That was so sweet!

It is important to be greatful! I posted mine as an article too!

Charlotte:

Every single question you asked centers about God the Father and the Lord. Isaac Newton put it most succinctly when he talked about being "in" the Father, and "by" the Lord, Jesus.

Where I to answer all 6 of your questions they would come directly back to the 2 of them -- directly.

. . . and that really is the tick and the tock of it.

Friends: Any that will put up with me :o)
Home: My rose bushes
Happy: It's a beautiful day here -- fall colors and sunshine
Financial Situation: College scholarships and financial aid
Family: Older kids -- teenagers aren't really that bad
Peace: Listening to the kitties purr and snore simultaneously

Thanks, all for comments. It is very important to feel and be aware of gratitude, how ever you view the Source of ALL THAT IS. Nobody that has the abundance and time to have a computer, internet access and time to play on Gather has nothing to be grateful for!!!

Thank you for getting this started. I picked it up from someone who had picked it up from you, anwered it in an article of my own and thus passed it on. ;)

these questions are great.
