  38. Ann Steel says:

    I AM so very, very grateful I am part of this chain and the discipline it engenders

    I AM very grateful to this chain for the influence it had on my thoughts and demeanour last night

    I AM very grateful that I was severely challenged to come up with all the positives in a sea of impatient, angry, negative people and events occurring over which I had no control

    I AM grateful my well practised patience, already finely honed travelling on public transport, stood me in good stead last night

    I AM grateful to get home safely after a very long journey to get there….. and in perfect time to see the item on Compass I wanted to see

    I AM very, very grateful for the life work of Peter Andrews at great personal sacrifice for what he believes in and that the scientific examination of the results are vindicating his passion and his work, showing that one person really can make a huge difference and be such a shining beacon of hope for the environment and the need to battle bureaucracy to ensure what is right

    I AM grateful that we had only to wait threequarters of an hour to get on a bus at Caulfield when others had waited over two hours

    I AM grateful my knees held up OK for that time waiting for the bus

    I AM grateful that it was only raining very lightly on the thousands of people waiting for the buses

    I AM grateful for the Connex man who stopped several young people pushing to get onto the bus, insisting they let me go first

    I AM grateful I got a seat on the bus for the one hour journey from Caulfield to Moorabbin through so many different streets, views, sights on the way
    and for the time to find these positive thoughts

    I AM grateful that there was a seat for me on the packed train from there to Bonbeach and still just a light sprinkle of rain on my walk home from there (about 8 pm – only one and a half hours late)

    I AM grateful for that brisk walk home after being confined to crowded seats and masses of people

    I AM grateful it was Thursday night and not the night before as it would have meant missing seeing Oprah and missing out on the distinctions I got from that programme

    I AM extremely grateful interruptions and hold-ups like last night are so infrequent

    I AM grateful my freezer held options for a quick meal preparation after all that delay

    I AM grateful the police had patience and were able to resolve the issue safely later in the night after five and a half hours of negotiation

    I AM very grateful Susie made it safely to Melbourne

    I AM grateful to have seen Jerry (previously chef where I mainly get breakfast) again on my way to the station and that he was so delighted to see me again

    I AM grateful I can express my feelings on paper when circumstances prevent me from saying in person

    I AM grateful I can love unconditionally

    I AM grateful I have music I can share

    I AM grateful I have inspirational books I can loan

    I AM grateful for a good deep sleep and waking up early

    I AM grateful for a lovely hot shower and being able to have a big choice of clothes to wear today

    I AM grateful for the light rain on my walk to the train and for the umbrella to keep it off my head and shoulders

    I AM extremely grateful for all the rain that has fallen in the catchments (not at my place though) and for all the rain we are about to receive

    I AM grateful there was still one vacant seat on the earlier train this morning

    I AM grateful the train came into Flinders Street on the most inconvenient platform and that in taking a different walk to work brought me past Jesters.

    I AM grateful for LoAn’s delighted greeting and for the lovely cappuccino she made for me to go with the Morning Glory

    I am grateful for the cheery greetings from my workmates

    I AM grateful to find out that Paul had got home safely to Mt Martha at 8:30pm last night and that Martin and Morgana had been very lucky in that they had taken their car to Caulfield Station so weren’t held up

    I AM grateful that I have a workplace to come to, for the lovely flowers on my desk and for the tasks and challenges ahead for the day

    I AM very grateful Scott has talked to Elizabeth and that he is OK

    I AM very grateful for Elizabeth’s kind comments and that my lists mean something to others as well

  110. Ann Steel says:

    I AM grateful for the very busy day I have had today … after yesterday’s gentle pace and pleasures

    I AM grateful I got through my stint on the helpdesk this afternoon in a relatively painless manner, especially as well as having to also handle a significant outage crisis again

    I AM grateful for my safe travel over the past few days and for Sandra’s cheery chatter and interest in my doings (and the account of hers) since we last travelled together

    I AM grateful for the magnificence of the sun reflecting on the back of the dark storm cloud formation that fringed the top of it with a golden glow of light this morning

    I AM grateful for warm colourful clothing to wear on a crisp freshly washed morning as I walked to the station to catch the train

    I AM grateful to have been able to get out shopping at lunchtime to find the right buttons and thread to match the blouses on which I needed to update by replacing all the buttons, as well as just one button for the missing one on my new coat … and for the junk food enjoyed today

    I AM grateful I have had the time and energy to sew them all on tonight as that is another item I can cross off my list and I think I will really need the coat tomorrow if the forecasted weather arrives to run its course

    I AM grateful for the talents of all the artists that exhibited in the Chelsea 33rd annual Art show over the holiday weekend that I was privileged to view yesterday morning, and for the great organisers and volunteers that made it a good show

    I AM grateful I was really challenged to decide on which exhibit I wanted to vote for in the People’s Choice award, such was the variety and excellence of the 1000 exhibits to choose from … and then to be well satisfied and quite surprised by that choice

    I am grateful that the exhibits intrigued me and inspired me to really think about and make plans to guide me in discovering/using my own talents

    I AM really grateful for the collection of large pots Yvonne has given me; they will be a great help at cymbidium repotting time

    I AM grateful that my orchids are still surprising me with more and more spikes, and that three are especially generous with 12, 11 and 10 spikes per plant, all contributing to a (so far) expected season of 160 spikes from the cymbidiums alone with very many more from the dendrobiums and other genera

    I AM grateful for the pleasure of luxuriating in the smell and feel of newly washed bedlinen, especially when warmed to comfort my body

    I AM grateful I am a very sensuous person able to find some substitutes for the lack of touching in my life while keeping the space open to receive what I am so missing

    I AM grateful for my good health … and especially for the higher dose of anti-inflammatory medication I currently admit to needing to lessen the overall stiffness and pain on moving all parts of my body with the advent of the cold weather

    I AM grateful that Sandra’s family will be able to finally lay a young boy to rest on Thursday some 11 days after tragically losing his life in a quad bike accident in WA and that she, her sister and brother have been able to get fights to and accommodation in Perth. I wish them safe travel and comfort in their grief and togetherness.

    I AM grateful Crystal wanted to join us – I enjoyed her contribution
    and look forward to more

    I AM grateful Elizabeth is having so much fun and success

    I AM very grateful Susie and Trevor had safe travel and the wonderful family experience … welcome back … and I do envy them that trip, I loved Cairns when I visited a couple of years ago (even the nasties)and I am looking forward to your contributions again … I have missed you here.

  111. Icequeen539 says:

    I am gracious that life has blessed me with so few problems, that I sit here inventing imaginary ones in my mind…Like, my relationship feels boring, although I’m in love with a man I know is “the one”, I should be happy that we aren’t fighting or struggling through issues, and that monotonous feeling shoud dissipate, it is actually a blessing.

  112. Elizabeth Richardson says:

    I am grateful that Icequeen has decided to join us, and what a great name you’ve chosen too.

    I am also grateful for Daniels surprise at the quality of the new web site that I built while he was away.
    I am grateful for the huge cry I had a play rehearsal tonight (do you feel better after you’ve had a good cry too girls?)and also for the hug David gave me afterwards.
    I am grateful for the phenomenal support of the director despite me strongly disagreeing with the songwriters opinion.
    I am grateful for my persistence in the face of what appear to be obstacles sometimes.
    I am grateful that the article I wrote tonight wasfairly easily to complete.

  113. Matt Pleus says:

    I am grateful that you get benefit from such a simple exercise like this.
    For those of you who don’t know, Crystal (my 8 year old daughter), made her first post several days ago and I’m grateful that she has soaked this up and wanted to be part of what we do!
    I have been contacted by people I don’t know from several other countries (phone calls and e-mails). I appreciate you taking the time to do that and I thank you for brightening my day.
    It was a huge thrill when Matt and Icequeen made their first posts yesterday.
    I receive an e-mail every time YOU make a post here and it is indescribable the effect that this has on me…it’s as if you add meaning to my life.
    SO I THANK YOU ALL (FROM MY HEART) FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THIS WEBSITE, AND TO MY LIFE.
    Please feel free to loosen up on how you write your grateful’s.
    There are no rules – be creative and have fun.
    Let’s make this a more interactive community, and if you like, we can implement a forum into the site so you may contact each other and reply to each others posts (your choice)…you let me know!

    Elizabeth Richardson

  116. Ann Steel says:

    I AM so very grateful for the money that has arrived in my mailbox

    I AM grateful for the exquisite colouring of the huge flowers opening on all three spikes of “The Khan”

    I AM grateful to talk on the telephone with my sister last night, to hear that all is well with my nearly 89yr old dad, that his surgery is to finally take place in the next few weeks.

    I AM grateful to hear that my sister is enjoying her new relationship (I am very envious); losing weight (double envious); and her painting and golf interests; and new business endeavours

    I AM grateful for the food, lovely warm home I have, the good heater, comfortable chair, and two doonas on my bed on very cold nights

    I AM grateful for my warm clothes, especially the new coat to become layer 5 to be out in the frosty air this morning – the whitest I have seen the rooves, cars and ground in all my years in Melbourne

    I AM grateful for my safe travel, on time, and for Chris’s company and conversation

    I AM grateful to have had the opportunity to be very busy both yesterday and today

    I AM grateful it is pay/redistribution day and I can pay my bills

    I AM grateful I have been able to get my act together and have posted a gift and card to my son for his birthday … probably the last, given the now exorbitant postage rates on small parcels – I’ll stick to cards or phone calls from now on…or deliver to NZ in person

    I am grateful for the crisp walk home and the opportunity to admire the clear starry night, and even against the city glow, identify some of the constellations and observe that the Southern Cross is now almost overhead

    I AM grateful Yvonne came to visit this evening, that she is handling the loss of her mother so magnificently well, has such positive plans for getting on with her life now, … and that she feels free to come visit if she is feeling too alone.

    I AM very grateful I have just watched “Still Doing It: The intimate lives of women over 65” on the ABC…such a validating and inspirational documentary … wow I hope it is all there in my future too…. I’ve still got so much time to make up and to look forward to

    I AM grateful for the new participants, the way this is evolving and for the suggestion of a more interactive forum as I think some feedback might be fun and maybe even more encouraging or helpful for some of us

  117. Elizabeth Richardson says:

    I am so grateful that Ann has been on the grateful-chain because I missed out yesterday.
    I am incredibly grateful that I am up and into action at 5.50 am this morning as I was feeling drained and am now back on track after having driven quite a long way yesterday to pick up some vitamin supplements that have been out of supply for several weeks.
    I am grateful that after only taking two small doses I am feeling DYNAMIC again.
    I am grateful that I know what I need to take (in the way of supplements) to sustain my body at it’s optimum performance and be able to live the lifestyle that I choose.

  121. Ann Steel says:

    I AM grateful for the idea that occurred to me to take my car to the RSL car park, on Friday morning to leave it for the whole day and night until I was ready to go home, rather than having to time the rest of my journey home after the dancing, to coincide with the train timetable…. and walking to the train station from there to catch the train to work.

    I AM grateful my work colleague, John, was sufficiently interested to ask why I was catching the train from a different station

    I AM grateful to Ange for the really great cappuccino he made with love and for Megan making my toasted breakfast croissant

    I AM grateful for another busy day at work on Friday (even though I didn’t get yesterday’s list compiled and posted) and for the empathy and support of my colleagues

    I AM grateful for remembering the personal tasks I needed to do…. even though it meant I missed out on my planned sit down lunch … while not being able to find what I was looking for.

    I AM grateful for the junk food… and the fresh fruit juices that filled the gap….

    I AM grateful for an early finish to catch the early train to get to the RSL in time for the rituals

    I AM grateful that Yvonne joined me there, even though she went home very early.

    I AM grateful for the nice food and drink, the opportunity to empty my wallet of coins in the Salvation Army collection box and receive the Warcry in return

    I AM grateful for the musical instrumentalists (especially the saxophones – close enough to a trumpet, my preferred brass instrument) and their skills in providing the lively music for dancing…. the bass guitar player was particularly spectacular…. and was ably supported by the other guitarist, drummer and purely vocalist.

    I AM grateful for the opportunity to strike up conversation with a 69 year young lady whom I have seen walking in my street and find out she is a recent discoverer of “The Secret” and that she is promoting it to all her extended family and friends

    I AM grateful my knees were up to the dancing challenge… even though they kept me awake for a long time afterwards and I had to resort to the heavy massage machine to eventually get to sleep

    I AM grateful for the three and a half hours of sleep I achieved before the alarm went off and I HAD to get up to travel to Foster for a 9>30am appointment

    I AM grateful the all enveloping fog wasn’t as bad as forecast when it came to my two hour drive to Foster … the journey took only an extra ten minutes … and from Loch onwards the fog disappeared to brilliant sunshine with just the occasional swirl of fog

    I AM grateful the unneeded additional time I allowed for the trip then gave me plenty of time for breakfast at the fantastic Bakery in Foster.

    I AM grateful Suzette was looking out for me to arrive early and then to make an early start on the session.

    I AM grateful for the really great session I had with Suzette, for her knowledge, skills and above all her friendliness and caring.

    I AM grateful for my body’s intuition as to the supplements it needs and that the cocktail of “pills” showed to be very positive for me

    I AM grateful for the early lunch at the bakery afterwards

    I AM grateful I was able to briefly catch up with Elizabeth, Crystal and Daniel before they set out on their walk.

    I AM really grateful to have seen the sunshine in South Gippsland after not seeing it for a couple of days in the city

    I AM grateful I can remain so disappointed yet philosophical at not being able to catch up with another friend when he wasn’t home when I called in.

    I AM grateful for my safe journey home again, (still thick fog from Korumburra to Lang Lang), another cappuccino and then stopping off to get some fresh fish in Tooradin.

    I AM grateful for the overcast but still day with an incoming tide in Tooradin allowed me to take some superb photos with interesting reflections.

    I AM grateful for the “nanna nap” I needed to have when I got home… scraping the bumper on the turn into my garage showed my just how tired I was

    I AM grateful for my warm (now) house, good food and wine to enjoy until it is time to watch the tri nations rugby union match between Australia and South Africa later on tonight…. if I can stay awake that is….

    I AM grateful this PC allows me (very slow dial up) to download my e-mails and to write this list.

    I AM very grateful for the wonderful responses to e-mails I sent off during the week

    I AM really grateful irmawil has the courage to join us on the Grateful Chain

    I am especially grateful irmawil has had the best part of a day without crying and I will be even more delighted to hear that she has is having very many more of them because I’ve been there I know how important that is to be able to take the day at just a minute, an hour, another hour until it becomes just a whole one day at a time…..

  122. Susie Foletta says:

    I AM grateful to be able to say HI THERE to everyone today….!!!!
    I am grateful, may I say, yet again, for the wonderful detailed pictures Ann always paints of her daily life…it always seem so enjoyable and peaceful….thanks Ann…
    I am grateful for Elizabeth and Daniel and Trevor for a very productive Mastermind Meeting on Friday…
    I am grateful for all the lovely, dry firewood that is warming our ‘home in the hills’ today….
    I am grateful for wonderful friends and neighbours and new friends and beautiful food and wine we enjoyed on Friday night….
    I am grateful that I surprised myself and was still having a good well past midnight…I’d thought I was past that…!!!!
    I am grateful that in the country we seem to have more to do and more places to go that when we lived in the city….
    I am grateful that I can still enjoy a busy social life whilst being able to live in PEACE and QUIET, with FRESH AIR and WATER from the heavens and with VIEWS of the bush and the ocean and mountains that are worth millions!!!!
    I am grateful for my darling wee puppies who bring so much warmth and affection into our lives….
    I am grateful for all my wonderful, loving, and caring friends and hope I am one to all of them……..
    I am grateful for my health and that of those that I love……..
    I am grateful for all of YOU!!!

  123. Elizabeth Richardson says:

    I am grateful to have created a new blog today for our other site.
    I am grateful for the gluten free food that Pete so generously brings over for me sometimes.
    I am grateful for finding my creativity in designing a new banner for the mini-movie-maker site.

    I am grateful to give myself permission to sit back and relax after creating 2 great web sites and before I recreate the next one.
    I am grateful for the 8 hours of peaceful sleep this morning(well I can’t remember a thing – so it must have been peaceful).
    I am grateful that I can keep unusual hours and still work at optimum performance levels.
    I AM ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR YOU!

  124. Ann Steel says:

    I AM grateful for Susie’s kind words … and isn’t it interesting, I really value Susie’s grateful list, often with a large degree of envy for the peace and beauty she lives amongst as well as the quality of her life

    I AM grateful I was able to wake up to see the match last night … it did take several naps to get me through the time, and even more grateful it was an excellent match to watch.

    I AM grateful my son has finally found time to reply to several e-mails as he and my daughter in law have been so busy pruning their grapes … completed 5000 in the past month but still have more than 70% still to go … as well as running around after two sons involved with their sports.

    I AM grateful for a very quiet day today which I have spent playing with the camera, laptop and printer to have some samples to show to interested friends and colleagues

    I AM grateful for the ability to see so much more detail than the immediately obvious and to find unusual angles and views to photograph.

    I AM grateful for the skill and talent I have in that direction and for the wonderful results

    I AM grateful for good heating, warm clothes and a safe secure environment that I live in

    I AM grateful for the very surprise passing visit from an old friend whom I love very dearly, down from Coffs Harbour for a couple of days and whom I haven’t seen nor heard from in 14 months… not even an e-mail…

    I AM grateful for the lovely back rub, kisses and cuddles he shared with me … and I do regret feeling I had to say no to more than that … as much as I wanted it, it would have been just too casual … and I need to be able to look myself in the eye in the mirror in the morning with respect …

    I AM grateful I need to work on my relationship goals and redefine my criteria

    I AM grateful to all of you for being in my life and to be able to share this list with you … it keeps me honest and on track when I look for the positives

  125. lizwelsh says:

  165. Ann Steel says:

    I AM grateful for the amazing clarity of my mind today as I have been resting in the aftermath of my body’s decision to go into a spontaneous detox over the past 48 hours

    I AM so grateful for the BFO (blinding flash of the obvious) in regard to what had been a very long held desire. I thought it had been fulfilled recently but I now realise it was actually fulfilled six years before – and I had lost sight of it in the disappointment that followed

    I AM so grateful for the e-mail message received on Wednesday and re-read a number of times that gave rise to this realisation today…. and it was such a simple phrase “Love you for who you are” with which he ended most e-mails from the time we first met in person those more than five years ago

    I AM grateful I have the gift and pleasure of the all the good memories, that the chemistry is mutual and am looking forward to responding to that message as the beginning of understanding and a new phase in our friendship

    I AM grateful I can now joyfully really release a more recent situation that doesn’t matter anymore and isn’t good or right for me

    I AM grateful for my safe travel to and from work and that when it was very wet and windy I got home relatively dry and with my umbrella intact; and when it wasn’t raining that I could admire and appreciate moon and stars and fleeting cloud shapes

    I AM grateful I have a place of work to go to… especially when it comes to payday

    I AM grateful for the busy three days I had this week and for the courage to hang up on abuse and provide honest feedback when given the opportunity and for the sense of bridge building that felt like

    I AM grateful for my realisation (today) that the dreaded new ticketing system we had a brief basic training for on Wednesday holds some possibilities I need to explore to be able to include another group I interact with to better manage the workflows between several groups

    I AM grateful for Joan calling for a chat last night and that in spite of all the wind and frost she is faring well (she reckons all she seems to be doing these days is feed the fire with wood) that the two old cats are driving her nuts (she wonders why they don’t just pack their bags and go if she really is neglecting them as they seem to think) that Ned is so much better after his arthritis treatment, his swollen nobbly paws have gone down and he (at13) is tearing around and playing like a pup at times.

    I AM grateful the free DVD of Dr John Demartini’s Sydney presentation of “The Secret Revealed” which Denise and I saw in Melbourne arrived in the mail yesterday. It is really great to have this reminder of all we saw and heard…and some of the things that didn’t really register first time around…. as watching it again last night was likely the trigger for my realisations today.

  170. Ann Steel says:

    I AM grateful for the really great band and my wonderful night’s dancing, even doing the twist, on Friday night

    I AM grateful to all the new people I met by name… and who expressed amazement at my dancing skills … as well as the people I met last week

    I AM grateful for the great night’s sleep and the lie in and reading that followed the dancing before getting up and going shopping

    I AM grateful for the two new high-necked tops I bought to cover the unsightly marks following the freezing of the ugly spots which, while being very itchy, do seem to be doing what is supposed to happen

    I AM grateful for all the purchases at the supermarket, food and other useful things.

    I AM grateful I decided not to travel to the MCG for the Bledisloe Cup rugby union match – I attended last time it was here – and I have saved the cost of the ticket, plus the train travel there and back; I didn’t get cold and wet and was spared the embarrassment when my team lost …

    I AM grateful I was able to avoid finding out the score before I saw the TV coverage of the game (delayed by over two and a half hours)

    I AM grateful for my nice warm heater, comfortable reclining chair and being able to enjoy the telecast in such comfort … complete with replays of the significant passages of play … it was a good, although not great game of rugby

    I AM grateful I slept well afterwards and woke up well this morning.

    I AM grateful for my washing machine and dryer today so that I can put the sheets etc right back on the bed and have a full selection of clothes to choose from to wear to work tomorrow

    I AM grateful that I went to GardenWorld Collectors’ Corner and admired all the lovely orchids (and other plants) out in flower this morning … food for the soul…

    I AM grateful I had a $50 gift voucher so I could use it to pick up half a dozen cymbidium seedlings of interesting crosses that took my fancy because they were at bargain price … even though it is an act of faith as it will be several more years yet before they flower for the first time and I can see if they really were a bargain

    I AM grateful Bunnings had the products I wanted this morning to be able to foliar feed all my orchids this afternoon … and for the other bits and pieces and beautiful water-saver pots they had at a real bargain price.

    I AM grateful I checked my docket when I got home as I had been overcharged more than $15 and that when I went back this afternoon, the refund was no problem and they were so apologetic (I had forgotten to take my glasses with me in the morning to check it before I left)

    I AM grateful I got my roses pruned as well as another shrub that needed a good cut back… and the bins out to the kerb for collection in the morning

    I AM grateful I cooked for myself tonight and enjoyed a serving of the absolutely fabulous Smoked Chicken, spinach, pinenuts and fetta risotto I concocted… it is so yummy… especially as I had to open a bottle of white wine for the recipe – a 1998 Grant Burge, Eden Valley Riesling – I’m sure it is sacrilege to have used half the bottle in cooking (even if all the best chefs say it must be the best drinking wine) (and I have made enough for half a dozen meals for me) as the other half of the bottle was just fabulous to drink with it.

    I AM grateful that I have e-mailed a carefully considered and written response (bared my heart and soul) to my lovely e-mail from Wednesday (I has taken me over two days to put it together) and know that whatever response, if any, is OK by me.

    I AM grateful to be able to enjoy the lists from my fellow participants and hope all get as much delight and inspiration as I do from them

    I am grateful to be inside as I can hear hail on the roof at the moment.
    I am incredibly grateful for all the wonderful wishes for me to enjoy opening night – how lovely that people have remembered.
    I am grateful that I feel so calm, as I know I have prepared to the best of my ability and accepted the last minute changes that have the potential to diminish my performance as a challenge to excel even more!
    I am grateful for the people who have surprised me who will be coming along tonight…and other nights as well.
    I am grateful that even though my mother has had a mishap, that I have allowed my brothers to shoulder the responsibility to create the solutions needed, as frankly, I am happy to be outside the problems (and to be here – in peace!)

    I am incredibly grateful for the massive amount of support, via e-mail and phone calls yesterday, from people wishing me well.
    It’s so nice that people remember me and are thoughtful like that.
    I really appreciate the support and the contact from so many of you…it means a great deal to me!
    I am grateful for a pleasing opening night, with a good response from the crowd, a satisfied and excited cast, a pleased director and playwrite.
    I am grateful that I filmed myself beforehand, because it gave me a tremendous amount of confidence before I went on stage…as I have tended to be over-critical of my performances (high expectations of myself!) and I’m still OK to have high expectations and the more I find ways to reaffirm to myself that I am great, then the more relaxed I will feel.
    I am grateful for the excited feelings I had after filming myself and that I mostly experienced a calm confidence.
    I am especially grateful to the judge who singled me out at the end of the night to compliment my talents profusely – that meant a lot too…

  196. rainbow says:

    I am grateful for the blue skies and sun today.

    I am gratefeul that I have people who love me.

    I am grateful that I have people I love.

  198. Ann Steel says:

    I AM grateful for the busy days and very early to bed nights over the past week … even though it has kept me away from my PC and writing out the gratefuls I have verbalised many times daily.

    I AM grateful I was able to competently handle a difficult problem, requiring me to take responsibility for proactive remedial actions outside of my jurisdiction because it was the right thing to do, even though it delayed me finishing for the day and I needed to go in very early the next day to make sure it was all cleaned up properly.

    I AM grateful for all my safe travel at all different hours during this time

    I AM grateful the walks to and from the station have been very cold, that lazy wind and even some milder weather, or at least where I can see the stars and admire the last quarter of the moon in an almost cloudless sky

    I AM grateful I was able to “rescue” some bunches of flowers … I have really enjoyed the white alstromeria and especially the perfume of the earlicheer jonquils

    I AM grateful for the opportunity to accept an invitation to attend another new Demartini presentation – The Secret Behind The Secret and take a friend for free next Wednesday night

    I AM grateful that Sandra is delighted to have been asked and that we did get to travel home together on one day

    I AM grateful I could get away from work early enough on Friday to stop off at the RSL in time for the raffles and a lovely warm chicken salad (it has the loveliest dressing) for Dinner

    I AM grateful for the greetings and company of my new friends as we enjoyed the new band and lots of dancing (even if they kept changing beat through a song)

    I AM grateful for the opportunity to see my nephew on Saturday morning when he was in Melbourne this weekend … even though it meant another trip to city on a non-workday.

    I AM grateful he looked in a CD/DVD shop … I found a new CD by BoneyM, my most favourite band, with some different tracks from the others I have

    I AM grateful I accepted the invitation to attend a sales presentation on Saturday afternoon and be rewarded for my time with $75 petrol vouchers even though I didn’t buy and walked very long distances from public transport to get there and back home again

    I AM grateful for the painkillers to take care of the aches after all that walking and dancing

    I AM grateful for my son letting me know my grandson had a very good Rugby Union Colleges tournament on the Gold Coast, his team, Marlborough College from NZ placed fifth with three wins and three losses. They had lost their top 4 players to the NZ South Island Representative team so didn’t place as high as expected and that meant Phillip got more game time than expected – he played all but 5 minutes total gametime.

    I AM grateful I was able to go shopping at Southland yesterday and sort out some of my confusion over which memory cards fitted which readers in which peripheral. I will now be able to get on with putting some slide shows together with music to go into my “digiframe” for display

    I AM grateful for the head, neck, shoulders, back massage I treated myself to …I sure had some knots that feel so much better now

    I AM grateful that I will find it much easier to practise my dancing at home now that I found and bought myself three by three CD packs of Hits of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s with lots of the frequently played songs at the RSL

    I AM grateful there is another 3 cymbidium plants out in flower and that they are now sharing my living room with me so I can really appreciate their beauty. Of the 9 inside now there are 22 spikes out in flower (11 of them on one plant). Another 6 plants are nearly out so will have to make more room for them by the weekend.

    I AM grateful I made time to try out the new mini tripod with my camera on Sunday afternoon. After I checked the flowers in the garden, and the orchids that are out I then went for a little drive down the street and had a lot of fun taking over 200 photos … some of which are truly magnificent, especially some of the indigenous coastal banksia, some other banksias, orchids and other flowers

    I AM grateful that Margaret called me while I was out taking the photos. It was a lovely surprise to be able to catch up with what has been happening in her life over the past three and a half months since we last enjoyed each other’s company at a Quality Party on 1st April.

    I AM grateful I filled the car up with petrol and then decided to succumb to temptation (as I hadn’t eaten all day) go on down to Mornington for dinner …

    I AM grateful John looked after me so well again, spoiling me with tastings of three wines before I decided on the one to go with the roast beef dinner … and then the little muscat to go with the coffee … all delicious and I did dawdled slowly through the meal to ensure my alcohol level would be legal

    I AM grateful I stopped off in the layby on Olivers Hill on my way home to enjoy one of my favourite sights … lights across the water, and then went back to where I had taken some of the banksia photos to try some more in total darkness with the flash … interesting …!!!

    I AM grateful that I have options for downloading the photos from my camera, especially when I have mislaid the USB key that the XD card fits into (and I didn’t have to look for the cable either)

    I AM grateful I have now made the time to write these gratefuls all ready to download a week of e-mails as I admired the pictures I took (photos on the laptop, writing and e-mails on the desktop) until it all came to a halt when my PC went into a big freeze … and I hadn’t saved this list of gratefuls

    I AM grateful I decided to leave the PC on when I went to bed hoping for a miracle that it would get over its hissey fit and I would be able to save the document before I went to work this morning … because it did … even though it wouldn’t recognise the memory stick for me to transfer the data so I could have posted this from work

    I AM grateful I could flip the power switch to off and come home tonight and switch it back on,that I didn’t have to write everything from scratch again but just recover the saved document and edit it and now post it … while 9 days of e-mails download (I have been able to check them from work and clean out most of the rubbish)

    I AM grateful for a very welcome special e-mail and for the anticipation of making an appropriate response for the gift of open honesty and the trust implicit in that

    I AM grateful for taking the opportunity to telephone my sister in NZ tonight to find out how my Dad is recovering from his surgery and am very surprised and pleased to hear that he will be going into respite care at Wallingford while Miriam is having a few days off for a trip to Singapore later this week to a Convention

    I AM really grateful to be able to read all the great posts here since I last joined you. It is great to hear all the good news and lovely things that are happening in all your lives

    I AM grateful Elizabeth’s opening night went so well and hope each performance since has been really great too. I am only sorry I won’t have the opportunity to attend.

    I AM grateful it is now time to slip between the sheets, beautifully warmed by the electric blanket, ready for a good sleep and another day to be grateful for all that happens … or doesn’t happen …

  199. I am really grateful to have given myself some time-out after an incredibly energetic and exciting few days of performances.
    I am grateful that Ann’s grateful list reminded me to come on to the site and do mine too!
    I am grateful that Susie, Trevor and so many other people I know have made it to the play.
    I am grateful for the delightful comments from Kathy and Rainbow and I’m especially excited that one of the judges made a special effort to speak to me about my guitar playing etc.
    I am grateful to be given this opportunity to be in a successful public performance because it has been a fulfilling exercise in raising my public profile.
    I am grateful that I have significantly reduced my e-mail subscriptions and lightened my commitment load – ready to get moving at a fast pace on the new community website.
    I am grateful that Crystal is really happy to be home, that she thoroughly enjoys school and that we have Daniel here to spend some quality time with her.
    I am grateful that Andrew keeps such great contact on a regular basis and provides her with the stability of a father figure.
    I am grateful for David’s friendly e-mail today.
    I am grateful that I have enough wisdom to listen to my body when it tells me I am tired, even if my mind doesn’t want to agree.
    I am just so very grateful that I have freedom to choose what I do every day.
    I am grateful that I made the commitment to do the play as the rehearsals and performances are really the only social life I have at the moment.
    I am grateful that I can look forward in anticipation to whatever the next chapter in my life will present me.

    I am grateful for the continued good humour and cooperation of my gorgeous boys.

  201. I am grateful to have achieved a great deal today even though I spent many extra hours in my delightfully warm and comfortable bed.
    I am grateful for the time I took to play guitar with thorough enjoyment – and that my skills are improving dramatically.
    I am grateful that Crystal woke me up this morning so I could tend to the beginning of her day as I usually do.
    I am grateful for the phenomenal amount of rain we are having to soak the ground as some people are still experiencing a dry winter.
    I am grateful for the outpouring of support I’ve had to assist with tasks on the new website.
    I am grateful for the delicious roast lamb I cooked today and the pancakes we had for dessert as part of a family tradition on a rainy night.
    I am grateful that we still have 3 days of performances to go as I think I might miss the company when it is over.

  202. rainbow says:

    I am grateful for music.
    I am grateful for heaters and warm clothes.
    I am grateful that for the third morning in a row, all my children were ready and organised on time.
    I am grateful for the friendship I share with D that enables me to wake him up and sit on his bed and chat!
    I am grateful for the great review of Stringlines:
    “After interval, the play becomes dramatic and the hidden links in the story are revealed, supported by growing tensions and some surprising twists.
    The ending is quite wistful and unusual, with the spotlight on pivotal character Kaye, performed by Elizabeth Richardson.
    Although Stringlines is Elizabeth’s stage debut, she is very natural and convincing in her role of a woman who loves her man but lives in difficult circumstances that are contrary to her preferred setting.
    Elizabeth proves to have a delightful voice when she performs the play’s song by Rob Ellis about “outback blues in the deep red centre of my heart” and she also makes good use of her freshly acquired guitar playing skills.” The Mirror 18-7-07

  203. I was thoroughly delighted to wake up to rainbows report from the newspaper review of Stringlines and I’m really grateful that she thought to include it here.
    I am grateful to have progressed an enormous distance on the new website and with even more people expressing interest and desire to advertise yesterday again.
    I am grateful that most of my ideas for the site are easilly coming into reality…I really desire this to be a wonderful and valuable resource for all our community.
    I am grateful that the news is getting out about the site and it is one of those things that will attract enthusiasm without me having to promote it.
    I am grateful for good foresight and Daniels intelligence that keeps me facing in the most feasible directions.
    I am grateful for my insistence on having just the right format and facilities.
    I am grateful to be so excited about it.

  205. Ann Steel says:

    I AM grateful for the 25 mm of recent rain when I emptied the rain gauge

    I AM grateful I drove the car to the station on Tuesday morning when it was so wet and cold and that I remembered to take it home again on Tuesday night.

    I AM grateful for safe travel to and from work travelling at different times with a book and music for company when Sandra wasn’t there

    I AM grateful for a comfortable place of work to go to and the time to appreciate it (and that I can look forward to another day off tomorrow)

    I AM grateful to be able to enjoy the music of BoneyM this week

    I AM grateful for the lovely lunch with Joy yesterday and the opportunity to catch up with the progress of our lives and for the exchange of health information websites

    I AM grateful I remembered that Sandra couldn’t contact me on my mobile phone as I had left it at home on the charger so was able to call her before she left home to arrange our rendezvous

    I am grateful for the wonderful people I am attracting into my life and for the changes I am able to make…I watch by as some people move on and new ones come along…and notice the appropriateness of it all.
    I am grateful for the strong women who have been attracted into my space and for being able to see the reason it is happening and the benefit I can add to their lives.

    I am so grateful that these people understand me…I think we all like to feel we belong somewhere.
    …and I’m ever so grateful for Lakisha’s posts that keep me on track with my thoughts and give me an even greater reason to come back and write them down…hey thanks!
