I'm grateful for:
1) My wonderful family which includes my parents, grandma, and my sweet little pug. I love them all so much!
2) My dear bf for always putting up with me and making me get help when I needed it.
3) Being able-bodied.
I'm grateful for my mom. I occasionally see my dad, but for most of my life he was never really a presence. My mom has been with my me and my four siblings throughout, and she's always a joy. I know I don't appreciate her daily as much as I should, but I really hope to be able to dedicate something for her in the future.
I'm grateful for my friends (these are all cliches, sheesh). I'm actually quite shy in real life, I don't have many friends. The only friends I do have are the ones who found out I liked drawing, where they also draw (ie. my older, elementary-highschool friends), or others in my program. I used to only have one or two people I could really call my friend, and even though I don't talk to my older friends as much as I like to, I always try to tell them (especially during birthdays and christmas time when I make them cards) how much their presence actually means for someone who doesn't have many friends, and that I appreciate that they take time out of their day to talk to me, see how I'm doing. Since I've started university though, I've made more friends and talk more with people I've known from school but never /really/ had to courage to talk to... I just, appreciate. All of them.
I'm thankful for all these second chances I've been given this past year. I've done things I'm not really proud of (nothing serious really, it's just me) and the guilt has just been increasing and always on my mind. I've thought of some pretty negatives things the past year, but I (thankfully) never really went through with some of the more serious things because of the effort other people put in me, which I know would just weigh even more heavily on me had I gone through with them. I find I'm just being given all these second chances (in a subtle way, if that makes sense) and I just hope it's not too late to fix things and get my life back on track.
Wow you are so sweet!
Well one I am grateful for you and all the others doing giveaways on here, because they always cheer you up if you win one and you're all very sweet for giving away your earned items!
I am extremely grateful for my health and well being. There are many unfortunate people all over the world who are going to spend Christmas/ any day/ their lives in hospital or simply feeling to ill to enjoy the season. I am very fortunate to not only have my physical heath, but also my mental health, as Christmas can be very hard on those suffering from things such as PTSD, SAD or depression.
I am grateful for my mother, as she is a single mum of 2 kids who has worked 40 hours a week our entire lives just to put a roof over our heads and to be able to provide us with the best opportunities to fulfill out wishes and goals.
Thank you so much for this giveaway!
I 100% agree with you. We need to slow down and stop focusing on what we dont have and instead focus on what we have.
I am thankful for a healthy body that allows me to do things everyday.
I am thankful for safety and the fact that I live in a country that is safe and beautiful at the same time.
I am thankful for all my friends, family and loved ones I have met.
1. My weird a** friends.
2. Pockies, Oreo wafers, Food, Water, Iced tea, spinach, salad mmm, and a load more.
3. My house and bed I can snuggle up in the blankets and never come out until 2 days later I get hungry :0
1. My mother. She had a stroke about two or so years ago, and we were told there was 0% chance she would wake up, but she did. She's almost entirely there, too. She lives a daily life with me that we were told she never would be capable of again and every moment with her is a moment to be thankful for.
2. I am grateful for having a place to live. I went almost homeless last month and was rescued by a relative and having somewhere to live is such a blessing considering I have diseases that would've killed me in a day's time as a homeless person.
3. I am grateful for my cousin (who I will call Red-chan) who has saved me from my own depressions and a lot of bad things many times. She has always been there to bring me back to reality and to lift my spirits and I am so grateful that she hasn't left when things have gotten really bad.
1. My family: They may drive me nuts but I still love them. They're there for me at my best and worst times and appreciate them all so much. They have helped me so much. Without them, I would be a completely different person. From my folks, siblings, unofficial-in-laws... they're all wonderful.
2. My boyfriend: He is my best friend. He is so kind and understanding and every day, I try to remind him how cherished he is. He's so optimistic and does all sorts of silly things to keep me in good spirits. I often don't think I deserve him but he always tries to remind me to stay positive when times are tough. He truly is a one of a kind, I'm amazed at his strength.
3. My ferret, Meeko. This year has been hard on his health and unfortunately, cancer took him away last month. He's lived six happy years being remarkably hilarious and working his way into everyone's hearts. I try to remember all the good times with him and recall lots of happy times. I miss him so much.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Good luck to everyone. <3
Thank you for making me stop to remember/think about things I am very grateful for. ^^
1. My family is relatively well off; we have a warm house, Christmas decorations up, and always plenty of food.
2. The friends I have are so lovely, even if we may not all be best friends with each other. But sometimes that's enough.
3. My education and job, which I owe to my parents for paying for and my super awesome coworkers for making work fun. Actually fun.
It is almost the 26th and I wanted to give you guys an update. I will announce the winner on Monday night and I will send the winner a private message as well. If the winner does not reply to me within a week then I will chose another winner. In my mind that seems fair. It is not to late to enter. Hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season and have an even better 2017.
I'm grateful for...
❤ My fianc?, who has been there for me through ups and downs and I there for him. Its been rough the past year but we made it through and we look forward to the next. He's everything to me and I can't wait until our son is born ❤ My mom, because she's put up with me for a pretty long time and still loves me unconditionally. Things are rough with my step dad but she continues to drag through it for us. I love you mom ❤ My grandpa, the only positive male figure in my life for a very long time. You're really sick right now and I know that God is gonna want you home soon. You've spoiled me my whole life, I was always the favourite grandchild and I knew so. I wish I knew why though. I'm really gonna miss you, and I wish you would move down here so that you aren't in the middle of nowhere where no one can take care of you.. Its gonna be hard for me when you leave, I already know my depression will hit hard again like it did when Margarite died. But its okay, cause I know that it'll be okay and I'll see you again. ❤
Three things I am grateful for:
1. My girlfriend. Sometimes I feel like I do not appreciate her as much as I should. She deserves the world, and I hope I can get her that next year.
2. My friends. In 2016, I came closer to my friends in a way that I've always wanted to happen, and it finally did.
3. My family. I've gone through a rough path these past few months, and my family noticed that. They did a lot to help me go through it and that's the main reason why I'm all better now.
And, also, thanks to you for this giveaway. I wish you a Merry Christmas!
1.} i'm grateful that i'm alive; i'm over seas spending my holiday on duty.
2.} i'm grateful i have food and a bed; in the past didn't have those things.
3.} i'm grateful i can wake up and no issues with my home; woke up to a fire (lucky to get out in time).
Those are my reasons; the best part of it is i made it through it. If anyone can relate, then they can say the same. Thanks for making this thread. I like reading the comments everyone wrote.
1. I am grateful that this Christmas i had the luxury of receiving presents and food and drinks, as I am aware that there are many who are around the world who don't receive anything special on Christmas day.
2. I am grateful that I have been born into a family and in a country that allows me to fully express my sexuality and allows me to be myself, which many countries don't still.
3. I am grateful that I have never had to worry about financial insecurity and the privilege I have received so far in my life particularly from my parents, yet many people still live in sheltered accommodation or are homeless around the world.
1. I'm grateful for the existence of cats.
2. I'm grateful for headache pills since I'm suffering from severe migraine.
3. I'm grateful for being alive.
