One of the most importing things I find that in life you have to daily think about your thankful for today. Sometimes we all get lost looking at the big picture. Think that the grass is going to be greener on the other side, and forget how good we really have it.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to post and discuss what you are thankful for today, get some positivity going.
Much love everyone

I really love where I live, sure its in a really conservative state, sure the town is very behind the times, little night life and such. But I'm surrounded by natural beauty, the blue ridge mountains will always be home for me, and there are perks of living in/around some really rural parts of North east Virginia, good shine, bonfires and great hikes.

I'm grateful to be on the path that I am now. I think I've met right teachers and teachings, because my mind gets still from all that.

I am grateful for these things 
Striving for perfection minus egotism slowing down Love feeling free Compassion no anxiety Truth no fear commitment awareness strength simple motivation happiness moments of true clarity livelihood relief looking beyond ego aiding others fighting for change wisdom fighting for good nature good people good teachers honest efforts finding purpose not gloating each breath striving to succeed where it counts helpful critics pain that encourages cultivating equanimity growth grist for the mill maturity spiritual investment feeding the heart and mind not giving up bad habits that die hard but inspire keeping hope growth of humanity helpfulness passion tolerance constructiveness holding on impermanence permanence warm comfort the good with the bad healing surviving understanding management dusting yourself off nutriment medicine actuality earth plants compost caring leaders comfort to be inspiration helping hand one step at a time patience careful attention mindfulness comradery senses cures vision pleasures simplism animals questing pioneers laughter shared times security
