What are you thankful for?

Simple

2 healthy kids that love me….

Jesus Christ our saviour, good health of my family and I, wonderful kids, a roof over our heads, clothes on our back, always having enough food to eat, peace in our lives, too many things to mention or this would be a book. Living abroad in a 3rd world country certainly humbled me and I take nothing at all for granted. We truly are blessed to live in the good 'ol USA.

Being in remission from colon cancer and getting rid of four tumors, plus having three healthy kids to talk to me on a regular basis, two of them want me to move in with them! My older daughter is graduating college in May and already has a job starting her out at 83K per year I’m very proud of her younger daughter did a 103 in 100 butterfly and broke a minute in 100 freestyle this winter, I’m really proud of her too. My son insists on fending for himself, he’s 25 and has been working at the same insurance company since he was 18; never asked for anything, but he’s a great kid! I got to spend the winter driving bus to the ski resort in Colorado; I can walk better now and I got my body weight down to 220, steady for the past two months, down from 286 three years ago! I have much to be thankful for. I feel lucky! 🍀

An amazing husband, surviving cancer, and 7 wonderful children with the 8th watching over us!!!

Being able to finally kick heroin after 30 long years.
Started a new career at 50, just going into my 6th year there, am well liked by the guys I work with and supervisors I don't even know from different shifts in my department will stop by at shift change just to say thank you for doing a killer job. At the end of every week my main boss stops by to give me a fist bump or a hug and says how thankful HE is for me working under him.
I went from absolutely no credit to now a 720+ credit rating, ppl come TO me and ask my opinion or for help when not long ago they'd of walked the other side of the street or spit on me while panhandling.
I'm thankful for being able to buy food, pay my bills, own my own truck and am a contributing member of society today.
My list is next to endless of what am I thankful for these days.
Just to wake up and not wonder how I'm gonna get $20 to buy dope just to start the day to make more money so I'm not sick all day and actually sleep in a bed, in my own home with my now 2nd wife instead of my cardboardminium I'd have to build each night on the concrete by MSG in NY...the list is endless.

I am thankful for having my health and my sanity through my life...had my ups and downs as well but I've stuck through thick and thin.

Thankful for my son; opportunities to advance professionally and do interesting, challenging, and enjoyable stuff; fractionally better relations with what has in the past been a brutally antagonistic baby mama; the ability to keep lifting heavy and maintain some size and condition without any major injuries (just minor ones that I can train around - this after a torn quad that robbed me of the ability to walk for a while) and a minimum of gear; the endorphins at my twice weekly workout; many interesting books to read; Jesus Christ (however imperfect I happen to be). And many other things besides.

This for me as well.

Hank covered most of what I’m thankful for. I’m also thankful my daughter is figuring out her mother all on her own as she becomes an adult. So many people told me to just sit back & watch what happens. Those people were right, my daughter watches her moms actions, antics & so on & she honestly has got her pinned down now. All those years of picking up my daughter & listening to the stories she told me of the ex & her entire family talking shit on me has all of a sudden come to the light of day.
I’m also grateful for being out of a very bad relationship with ex #2. I’m not exaggerating by saying she was crazy. So many issues there, no matter how hard you try you can’t fix them if they don’t want to be fixed.

Thankful for everything. The Grace that saved my sorry ass. My wife, my son getting his shit together and being a model 21 year old kicking ass, making bank, junior in college after going to the dark side at 16. Financial security, abundance, my homestead in the woods.

Too much to list.

I have to agree with God's saving grace. The fact that I'm able bodied, and am able to pursue my hobbies. A wife that loves me. A few good friends, both my parents are still here, and 2 brothers that I get along with. Well 3 now, my mom adopted her foster child. Raised him from birth. He's 5 now. He's awesome.

Thats a tough question. I think for me, the obvious and easy answer is my family. I never had much of a childhood and to say it was rough would be a gross understatement. My childhood never taught me what being a good parent was but it did teach me what bad parents were and I knew that my children would never endure the things that I did. I used the trauma of those childhood experiences as a catalyst for change. I became a good father and husband because they taught me what the opposite of that was like and I knew in my heart that my children could have a better life.

My children have never known the things that I did. They have never seen any of those things and they are great kids. I have 3 that are amazing and I am so very happy and proud of them. My wife and I spent our lives making those children the central point of our time and while that may come back to haunt us in a few years where they have all moved out, at this point life is great.

I thank God every single day for my life, the good and the bad. Even in darkness we can still find lessons. Those dark days showed me what NOT to become.

I am most proud and extremely thankful for my family. There are tons of other reasons as well but that is what keeps me going..
