A NON-Rant, share what you are grateful for.

[Doc73]

To tell you the honest truth, I saw Iqqi's rant thread and I was extremely tempted to post in it. Instead, I thought I would start a thread about what I am grateful for.

I am grateful that I have a family who loves and cares for me.

I am grateful that I have a few close friends who will be there when fail and cheer me on when I succeed.

I am grateful that I have a decent job and an awesome boss who has kept me on even though I should have been fired LONG ago.

I am grateful that I am in the best shape of my life and that even though I am in my 30s, I still pass for someone in their early 20s.

I am grateful that I live in one of the best countries in the world (no, its not the US).

So, what are YOU grateful for?

 

[Gubby]

I'm grateful for that fact that nothing in my life is going right.

Keeps things interesting.

 

[Birdem]

[MacAvoy]

I think this thread is about as useful as the rant thread.

I am grateful for

-Only having to take 2 more final exams this semester and I'm officially done w/my current institution
-My family who raised me right and have allowed me to thrive
-Being able to say that I have seen superstars in person the other night who have inspired me to keep training and a mass of other ppl worldwide
-The greatest sense of self, happiness and confidence I've fine-tuned w/SS over the years
-Cute brunettes
-The fact that I know what it is I want to do with my life over the next decade

I'm grateful for useless things.

Why are you taking my rant so seriously? It was just a rant. I am a bit surprised it is still going strong...

Anyways, I am grateful that ppl contributed to it, and got whatever was irritating them off of their chests.

I am grateful noone (well not a lot of ppl) took cheap shots at me like I was expecting, because I did kind of put myself and my current vulnerable feelings out there. I checked on the thread that next day with mucho trepidation...

I am grateful that Nyquil has made my cough more productive.

I am grateful that my friend was able to give me a ride today when my car broke down at the gas station pump.

I am grateful my mechanic found me a cheap tow all the way from where I was at back to his place. I am glad the repair will only cost around $200 instead of $1000, because I found such a great, cheap mechanic who knows his sh!t and doesn't charge me much.

I am grateful my laptop started today, a miracle since it wouldn't start yesterday. I am grateful that I have a warranty still, so even if it didn't, it's still all good!

I am grateful that I've been semi offered a job as a bartender, because it is a skill I need to pick up if I am going to skip off to another country, and try to get easy under the table work while I am there.

I am grateful to be reading a book that is inspiring me to write again.

I am grateful that even though my friends have some loser issues, there is always ONE that comes through for me right when I need them.

I am grateful that I make friends so easily now, which is actually totally against my true nature.

I am grateful that my mother had no rules in her life, which translated to me not having any rules growing up, which translates to me now being able to think waaaay outside the box, and survive when sh!t hits the fan, when most people would just give up and die.

I am grateful that I can think of tons of ways to make money and none of them involve working for someone else.

I am grateful that one day I know I will have more self discipline than I do now, to actually follow through with my ideas and visions.

I am glad that it is so very easy to make me happy.

Health. Anyone that's ever been really sick knows what I mean.

 

[PRMoon]

I'm grateful to be me.

It's not always easy, but more often then not, it's cool as f*ck.

 

[In Motion]

I'm grateful to be me.

Thats a good one! I am really grateful to be me.

Im also grateful having a fantastic life and that spring is here and just taking a walk in my neighbourhood is something from my wildest dreams because its so beautiful.

And Im grateful for getting layed today.

 

[LostAndConfused]

I'm grateful to be alive.

First and foremost I am grateful for my health, well being, me just being able to wake up everyday and not have any debilitating illnesses. I am grateful that I appreciate the abundance life has to offer and how far I have actually managed to survive. I am grateful for the oppurtunities and resources that have been offered to me and my ability to take advantage of them. I am grateful for the fact that I have been exposed to many things in this world that most people don't ever get to experience which has given me much more insight as to what type of a person I am and has strengthened my core to the max. I am grateful that I realize where I actually came from and have become humble enough to tell people other-wise. I am grateful that even with all the bullsh** I seem to keep moving forward and stay positive (which boggles my mind sometimes) and haven't given up an ounce of hope. I am grateful that I have both my parents who despite my opinions and their questionable decisions have stuck by me even though they might or don't understand some things about me, somethings they never will nevertheless I am grateful that their presence alone is enough. I am grateful for the sacrifices they have made and now realize how tough those sacrifices have been. I am grateful that I am actually a very intelligent, sexy, hardworking and honest MAN who continues to improve everyday and mature as a person. I am grateful that their are incredible posters on this board who have inspired me and helped me during SOME of my problems and who I can never thank enough but they do and will always have my respect.

...but most of all I am grateful for everything.
