Morning, good sign friend. Thanks for the five things that you are thankful.
I just felt more interested to know that you also had your Mylot RUNTIME ERROR SETTLED. It so happened to me at the same time when I was trying to finish responding to my "suspenseful" friend's ten unanswered discussions, which was so discouraging to me as I wanted to help them all get responded to.
But anyway it is working now. So this is my sixth thing to be thankful today, an extra one. lol

Good morning, dear laurika.
Ok, I would think of five tihngs that I am thankful today and always as follows:
1. I am happy to get up with a healthy mind and body in the morning so that I can enjoy everything that I can with my great energy and do my job well as a good health is the most important thing in life, without which we cannot enjoy our life.
2. I am glad that my parents are healthy and enjoying their decent retired life at home and that they do more exercise every day and take a walk after dinner in the park. The greatest pleasure and concern to me is the good health that my parents enjoy so that I won't have anything to worry about them while working in a place so far away from them.
3. I am thankful that my wife and my son are getting well with everything around them, which is very relieving to me.
4. I am pleased that I can have a decent teaching job with a stable income without having to worry about the source for life so long as I work hard and indeed I love my job as always.
5. I am overjoyed to be able to have some time to enjoy Mylot for discussions with my friends to exchange our ideas on different topic and I love every friend of mine at Mylot and my friends in my real life.
Well, these are the five things that I am very happy and thankful not only today but forever as well.
Thanks for letting us think about five thankful things in life.

Hello again, dear friend. Thanks for asking. I teach English, from Basic English, Intensive Reading English, Hotel English, Public English Test System, to Business English. Right now, I am teaching Business English, which is a great challenge to me. I love English and have it as way of living. There is no other subject that can make me love more than English like there is no other site that can interest me more than Mylot. hehe. Thank you very much for asking. Have a good day, dear laurika.

This is a good discussion, as too often we don't stop and appreciate all the things we should be thankful for. Five things I'm thankful for: Fate bringing me and a wonderful man together; my two healthy beautiful daughters; my family; having the chance to work at my dream job; and for all the men and women and their families who fight for our freedoms everyday. Freedom isn't free.

2. That my parents are supportive of me.
3. That I'm able to pay my bills even though sometimes I don't know how it is going to happen.
4. That I have my sweet little dog Sherlock.

OK.. I'll give this a try...
1. I am thankful that I own my house and have a roof over my head where young married people are finding it difficult in our country to buy their first homes.
2. I am thankful that I have a car that doesn't break down when I drive it and is a fairly good one. (When I was younger I always bought cheaper cars, that would often give problems).
3. I am thankful that last year when I had a heart attack and the staff at the hospital didn't realise what was wrong with me, as young nurse came and thought she would give me a ECG that verified it. Then I was rushed into the cardiac suite and dealt with without delay.
4. I am thankful now for the heart rehab team that has brought me back to a good standard of health.
5. I am thankful to my wife for being so supportive, not only of my heart attack but for all the ways she has supported me over the years.
This is strange, because this morning I was only thinking just after my heart attack, I was so grateful for all the support and help I received, that life felt really good and stress-free. So it is right, if we focus on what we can be grateful for, we can experience more happiness in our day-to-day lives.
This is something I have done with my clients (using different words) over the years. I just get them how they feel their lives are blessed and they always leave feeling much better than when they arrive :-)

I think I’ve read that somewhere, the article is like entitled “How to Boost your Self Esteem”. Well here’s my list: I’m thankful for; 1) one more day here on earth, 2) the good health given to me and to my family as well, 3) the food I still have, 4) a peaceful day, and 5) the some knowledge I learned today.
And it’s all possible because of God. Thank you God. :)

This is an excellent idea! I often take things for granted that I don't stop and think how blessed I am!! I am thankful for my family, my health, my job, the rain (drought in Australia at the moment)and friends.
