What Are You Most Thankful For?

pearl 18

I came across this SelfGrowth.com poll today and looking at the results at the time, out of 26 votes, not a single person voted for Money and Career as being the things they feel thankful for.  I wondered:  Could it be because the respondents were from amongst those who are directly affected by the high unemployment rates that have  risen to 10.2 percent in the month of October, which is an all time high since The Great Depression?

Or Is it possible the people who answered that poll are the ones who only go to the selfgrowth.com site for inspiration and aren’t really concerned about or concentrating on making money online or offline?

As for me, I am thankful for my family and friends, but honestly, I am more thankful today to have a job that pays my bills (including health care insurance).

What about you?

What are you most thankful for today?

Let us know in the comments here and list at least 3 things that you are thankful for today.

I think you pretty much said it all, Pearl: family and friends come first. Jobs help us nurture these relationships, and yeah, I am thankful for that too. But most of all, I am thankful for knowledge… that special extra ingredient God gave me to help me make the best out of my life. :)

And I am grateful for love, I’d be nothing without it.

I am grateful for help – people around me who care enough to be there when I need them.

I am grateful for honesty and loyalty…

I guess the list could go on.

I am grateful for life! Just being around, doing what I like to do at the moment — like, looking at the trees outside, making fresh juice for breakfast, and checking out how my friends are doing online — brings joy ^_^

I am grateful I can make money by helping people.

I am grateful for my health. Of course. I feel young, strong, and beautiful.

And I am grateful you wrote this post. So many people writes about how important gratitude is but seldom writes WHAT they are grateful for.

Blessings,
Akemi

Good question – what’s really important in life – to me: Life itself, and then family and friends – including blog friends like you :-)

I am thankful that I’m still alive by the Grace of God. Through ups and downs I was lucky.

Knee surgery is a bit$h. There. I said it. But during my time in recovery I’ve had oodles of time to reflect on the things that really matter in life, the things I am most thankful for.
