1...I can still play drums at a high level at my age.
2...My health. No prescription drugs.
3...My friends and family.
3A...That when l lost my hair, my head didn't have a funny shape.

My health. My mental and physical health. Without that I have nothing. Although my mental health isn't the greatest sometimes. I appreciate that I am able bodied and am in no physical pain and from disease.

Being in a country that is from war and oppression, although don't get me wrong - it has it's problems too.

My intelligence and rational thought. I'd like to think I think things through with reason and critical thought.

1. The universe, for giving me a chance in life.
2. Having my parents still alive.
3. Having been born in the age of the Internet.

The friends that stood by me in my darkest hours. All the travelling I made. The ability of not giving up even when you feel like doing it.

My kids, grandkids, family
My friends
My drive

Aristotle, Isaac Newton, and Ayn Rand. Not really things, but nouns nevertheless.

My family, who adopted me & gave me a wonderful home and life.
My careers, which have always been interesting and enjoyable.
The movies, which gave my life passion and direction.

My daughters/family

My sense of humour

Coffee

so many things, so take family friends life as a given and I'll try to think outside the box.

1. living in one of the loveliest/ safest places on the planet. ie sunny Queensland Australia
2. An ability to find the humour in even the most darkest situation. And especially laugh at myself.
3. chocolate, oysters and fine wine.

a good topic CK. A daily reflection on what we are grateful for is good for our mental health and it keeps us humble as we are reminded of the many suffering.

My good health. A fun way to make a living. Time for myself to do as I please.

My kids (daughter and son-in-law), my polycule, and having my creature comforts

my family, freedom, freedom

My wife, stepson, daughter, grandchildren, professional life, financial situation, the home and community we live in would be the main things I appreciate in my life. There's always the meta issue of health. Without that, my ability to enjoy or interact with all those people and situations would be restricted and muted. My health is generally pretty good, but shakier than I'd like it to be, so I'm working on that.

One thing I don't appreciate so much is how everything always seems to be under some form or other of threat. Aside from my own health issues, my wife and stepson and oldest grandson have challenges that are of concern, which is amplified for me by having lost my prior wife, my son, my oldest brother and mother to illness or accident already. I still tend to have the leftover mindset from my theist past that with hard work and good intention, eventually everything will "be okay" and it never is. I understand intellectually that life owes me absolutely nothing, but I still have to work on letting things be as they are and not stewing about things I don't control. I'm getting better at it. "Okay" has to be defined as totally present oriented, not like a fund of "okay-ness" that can be spent later. It is hard to sit with that when you were acculturated and conditioned to believe in a mythical Umbrella of Safety purchased with good behavior and/or "correct" belief.

Family and friends, reason and the Universe.

My kids. My artistic proclivities. My open mindedness.

I'm not comfortable with being thankful or grateful in a generic way, who would I be thankful or grateful too? An indifferent Universe? I do appreciate that I have had good luck in being able to pursue my dreams and make most of them a reality but grateful? I think not.

The most important, that I was born. The odds for each and everyone of us were so incredibly tiny and here we are. Then for my parents who took care of me when I was defenseless and hopeless and then gave me everything I needed to jump headlong on every opportunity life has thrown at me. The rest has been up to me and my successes are their success as well and my shortcomings are only mine. Have I had enough? It never is, that's why life thrive and will keep on going because it's our nature, we will always want more. The day we stop having hopes for the next day then that's the day we die...… of course grateful for this site and people like you. Your kids look like a cool riot at the right measure, which I am sure you all have fun with day in day out. Nice !!!!
