Seven Gays of Christmas - Winter Whirl lead-in

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing great this December? 

With these dark days, I thought it could be a good idea to accentuate the positives and brighten up our lives by practicing gratitude.
Starting today and throughout the week leading up to the Winter Whirl, try to post at least one thing that you're grateful for each day. I doesn't have to be anything ground breaking or transcendental, it can just be simple things - Like not having to shovel snow in the morning :)

It's said that doing this over time can help you develop a more positive outlook in life and be happier... It can't hurt, at any rate!

Today I’m grateful for Bowie cause dogs are amazing.

I'll start! I'm very grateful that we managed to find a place to live

I am very grateful for the career change I made a year and a half ago; less stresful, better work atmosphere, more pay.

I’m grateful that I live in a relatively stable country, with a decent roof over my head and that I don’t have to worry about where my next paycheque is going to come from 

*knock on wood for all of the above*

I'm grateful I got to see uncle palpy again today

I'm happy for modern medicine and that painkillers were invented. Tonight they saved my day (meaning night) as my aching neck was driving me crazy and hindered me from sleeping. Long live the red pill - or was it the blue one?

preamble: I think this is a very cool event!

I am grateful for PEACE.

Where I live, we hadn't had a war in more than 70 years and I think that's amazing and I consider myself very lucky to live in this part of Europe. Although one might argue that the opposite of war isn't peace - it's creation I think peace is very important and a good starting point for creation.
Love, Peace, Peace, Love and Peace, Salaam, Shalom -

hippie out.

oooh we need to do one each day? .. well here is my first.

Im grateful for my Cat who runs to the door and greets me, with purrs and fuss each night.

That's the idea! It'll help us get into the habit.

I'm grateful that my wife is as introverted as I am and likes to stay home and relax on weekends, and that we are apparently the only two people in the world who can stand each other enough to do it without driving each other nuts.

I am grateful for my citizenship.
That I no longer have to worry about my right to stay in Finland and that I can vote. I'm grateful that I am part of a country where a shop worker from a rainbow family can become a prime minister and talk openly about her life (in a 5 party government alliance all led by women). I am grateful for the progress made in equal rights and I am hopeful that more can still be made

I am grateful for that lovely husband of mine, accepting me for all my good and bad traits. And he is also way funny.

In grateful for all you in Stonewall who are my friends or who put up with me :)

Today I'm grateful for the holiday break to enjoy a bit of gaming hopefully

I'm grateful for being able to hear. It's such a fundamental thing, but I'm really grateful for being able to experience music in my life, the howling winter wind, the splash of rain. Life would be so hard for me without those things.

Ohhhh, that's a good one!  Yes, I agree with you completely.

Let's keep the train rolling...
I'm going to keep it simple for day #2: I'm thankful for having the day off (the full day, I hope).  Enjoying some early morning tea, incense and a meditation session in Playne

The past year has been massively difficult, I'm grateful for this  community, and to my department colleagues for providing  an escape, and an ear.
