As my grandmother used to say, "I thank, therefore I am."
Gunn, a thoughtful and lovely thread
My niece - the light of my life, and my family
The people who love me... for me.
The little thoughtful things that make a big difference
Breyers Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Honesty and trust
Classic movies
Random acts of kindness
A perfect fall day
Freedom
Music - specifically Bruce Springsteen
The life I had with my maternal grandparents
The fact that I was actually able to be born
Being born and raised in NYC
The enduring companionship of my pets
Coffee
Anybody who sacrifices without motive for those who can't do for themselves
and most importantly, my mother's second chance at life
(by no means a complete list, just what came to mind at this moment)
What a wonderful thread!
I am grateful for...
My family
My friends (a.k.a. my other family)
being alive and healthy
having the opportunity to go to my wonderful college
being in NYC
sunny days
clear nights
laughter
music
my ability to dance
good movies
to be able to volunteer in the community
people who want to make a difference
kindness
meeting new people
never having to open this thread again.

At the moment, what really comes to mind is just one simple thought - the chance to have at least one more day of opportunity.
having a roof over my head.
I am grateful:
For the second chances I've been given, and I'm grateful to the people who helped me make them worth it.
For the opportunity to enjoy my life
For the ability to learn and enjoy it.

Nice thread :)
At the moment I'm thankful for all the firefighters out in Malibu.
In general, I am thankful for a lot of the things already listed and much more.
I'm grateful for the fact that I've lived long enough to see 3 great nieces and nephews arrive (with one more on the way)
I'm grateful that I've gotten to see my mom with her great grandkids and VERY grateful that she's feeling well enough to come back and visit with us all for Christmas this year.
I'm grateful for the wonderful friends I've made, including the incredible ones I've met here
My thought is similar to DG's.
I'm grateful for each day I awake feeling good and knowing that those I love also are feeling the same.

I'm serious, you try having the back of your mouth cut apart with a knife.
Being relatively health for the first time in my life.

for all my friends and family who have stuck by me, understood me, supported me, put up with me and loved me unconditionally through this crazy period in my life.
For the freedom to create and experience art without censorship.
For summer days spent on the beach and fall days spent on the boardwalk.
For my brothers who mean more to me than anything else.
