I am grateful for a rainy day at home with my 12-week-old daughter and a blue helium mylar balloon. It’s losing its air, but it holds endless fascination.

I’m grateful for a lot of things—my little brother came back alive from Iraq, I have a decent job in this economy and even have a good boss, my recent mammogram was negative after cancer 12 years ago, I live in gorgeous area near San Francisco, my Dad is still very healthy at 80 years old, I get to take my dog to work…There are a million things.

I am SOOOO grateful to have literally stumbled across Christine’s book in our local, independent bookstore. I feel like this book is saving my life and my family! That is something for which to be eternally grateful. Thanks from one mom to another.

I’m grateful that my dad’s surgery on Wednesday went well. He is resting happily. We can’t wait to see him at Christmas.

I am so thankful for the community at the school my two daughters attend:  kinder teachers who fill in the funding gap; a new principal who has breathed life and excitement into bringing our community together; a third grade teacher who honors the whole person who happens to be his student; and a wonderful group of volunteers who work to enrich the environment.

I am grateful for life, I am grateful for Russia authorities to help me meet my daughter… I adopted her 8 years ago in Volgograd and she is my life’s gift.

We’ve had a lot of family and friends in the hospital lately. A couple of surgeries, a twin birth. I’m so happy that everyone is out and thriving.
