This is a wonderful thread. It makes one push aside the doom and gloom, and appreciate the good. Much needed. Thank you for the idea, Jane. I'm grateful for:
(1) My dog.
(2) This site. I've found it a day ago, and have found much needed support and advice. Thank you for that.
(3) My passion for books. They're the perfect companions, and the perfect gateway to avoid reality.
(4) The rain outside. A cool, beautiful rainy day. It's wonderful.
(5) Coffee and chocolate.
(6) There are people out there working hard to make a difference in this world, a good difference. They're volunteering time/ money/ both to help others, animals, and everything in between. I'm grateful to them.
(7) Takkies!
