I am grateful for:

My Maker, first and foremost

I am grateful for my precious husband, who arrived at a perfect time in my life.

I am grateful for my daughter, Helen, who is respectful, beautiful and such a "gift" to me.

I am grateful for my parents, who have been so supportive and loving, regardless of my ups and downs. They are my "guides", through thick and thin. I am so glad to have them in my life.

I am grateful for my stepchildren who have taught me to open up and be understanding, and they have given me two more precious ones to love.

I am grateful for friendship, whether it be people who live near or far, whether I have met them in person or not. I have many, many "new" friends that I would not have met if it weren't for the internet, a place where many share my love for animals, gardening, etc.

I am grateful for my church, where we have gotten so much support and love, and seek, constantly, to give back.

What a great idea to post what we are grateful for!!!
