What are you grateful for this year?​

For me, I'm grateful for all the new friends I have made! While I've always been an extrovert, I'm always happy to connect with others. This year also pushed me out of my comfort zone multiple times, so I have been forced to think on my feet and make snappy decisions without regretting any of them. Still, I feel truly blessed because I grew as a person, and everything I've been through this year has made me stronger. I am so grateful to each and every one of my friends and all that they teach me on a daily basis – including each and every one of you.

So please, if you feel comfortable doing so, I'd love to read what you're grateful for in the comments below!

I am very grateful, that after a year and a half, I can say I am in remission again. Thank you Lord...

I am grateful for my first year of retirement, however unaffordable it may be! The greater gratitude is for my beautiful little granddaughter who has charmed me completely. It may sound obvious or even corny but I had come to believe this would not happen in my life. Son #2 proved me wrong. We moved further north to be closer to her and my two sons. At age 69, I bought my first home. It is small in a small rural park and perfect for our simplified needs. I am forever grateful for my siblings and nieces who all have a place in my mind and heart. My general good health is appreciated to allow for all of the above.
