I am grateful that I reconnnected with my best friend from childhood and that she and her family were able to come to see me for a visit.

I'm grateful that we pulled together through some rough situations as a family, and we enjoyed so many family activities together. I am also grateful my mom's cancer did not return. It was a wonderful year.

I am grateful that my son made a new baseball team ---he starts in Feb! Can't wait

All of us are healthy and happy. We have everything we need and we have food on the table that we are able to enjoy with friends and family. I am really thankful for these.

I am grateful to be alive! After having battled cancer in 2006 my life has been about living life to the fullest which has meant a lot of changes in my life...ending relationships, going back to school, moving to a new place. This year life is going to continue to change so my one little word for the year is CHANGE. I want to document these continued changes in my life to see where I have come from and what I have accomplished! Thanks Ali for all of your inspiration!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Have a fantastic new year!

i am really grateful that in 2010 I got a diagnosis for a mystery illness that has been really debilitating and frustrating for over a year before hand and going through really terrifying moments of what could be wrong with me.
It meant i could manage my condition and continue to craft more than i ever could before and dream about a future when i will be healthy.

After losing their house of 30 years to foreclosure 2 years ago, my parents finally moved out of a terrible camper and into a rental house, so they have heat and running water and electricity. I don't think I've ever been so grateful for anything in my life as I am for this turn of events!

I am grateful that I began my jouney of self-exploration in 2010. I look forward to continuing it in 2011 through avenues like OLW, my scrapbooking and with visits to my therapist. My word is RELEASE and I am already full of anticipation at how this will manifest itself in my journey.

I'm grateful for all the experiences I was able to create and share with my family!!

I'm thankful for the countless blessings I have in my life.

So many many things. But most of all my beautiful family. Both immediate and extended.

I am grateful for my supportive husband who encourages me when I need it most and gives me the option to make a change for our family. He is my scale when I need to weith things.

I am grateful for faith, family, friends and good health in 2010!

I am greatful for our new home. Because of the economy, we found it necessary to downsize. However, our new home has everything I need....my family.

I am grateful for the aggravation of coworkers who don't pull their own weight because it reminds me that I am blessed to have a job. I am grateful for the incompetent employees who work at United Health Care because it reminds me that I am blessed to have insurance and don't need to choose a meal over ensuring my family's health. I am grateful for my leaking roof because it reminds me that I am blessed to be a homeowner. I am grateful for a daughter who talks back and a son who whines because I am blessed to be called mom and those sounds, which give my life meaning, come with the most amazing hugs and kisses. I am grateful for the countless hours my husband spends on golf, bowling and fantasy football because I am blessed to be a wife and have a best friend who comes home to love me, flaws and all, every single day. I am grateful for the hurts that are caused by family and friends because I am blessed to have people who care about me enough to be invested in the ups and downs of a relationship. How blessed I am, indeed! Happy New Year, Ali! May your year be blessed!

I made it out of the hospital alive. Was able to come home to my husband and our 5 beautiful children. I'm glad I am here today.

I am grateful for the things often taken for granted, like shelter, food, water, a home... had a conversation yesterday with someone who was living in someone's garage without running water...reminded me of the richness of my life in ways often overlooked...

I am so grateful that my family made it through the year happy and most important healthy. The past few years had been rough o us and 2010 was a great yer.
