  • @vastmind. As an old fart I am deeply grateful for relative good health. The will and opportunity to practice Dharma. The joy of not having to be right. Just a few off the top of my head.

    Yeah! We should all thank those who dumped on us recently. It's just our karma coming back to bite us, anyways. Nobody to blame but ourselves, really. Heck, even the Mods deserve a break!

    And an especial thanks to those "dumpees" who pleasantly stayed the course amidst all adversity.

    I am just grateful. Gratitude feels nice, and the benefits are very nice.

    gratitude for starting this thread :)

    I feel gratitude to my parents. No parents, no being. Teachers. No education no opportunity to know dharma. :)

    I'm grateful that the rare and precious local government official does exist. You have to work hard to find them, but when you do - grab 'em and never let go!! :D

    I am grateful to the three Jews (think that is right)

    Rabbi Bubbala Buddha for his Dharma Torah

    Sangha Synod for their just actions

    and Boddhisattva 'Chicken Soup' for her skilful noodling

    I am grateful for the roof over my head, and the food in my belly. That's all I really have in the world, but I am more than happy to have it.

    I'm grateful that my car got broken into and $300 was stolen from me. Was a very good learning experience!

    Wow. Have you burnt down your house yet to learn about [whatever] or do you just improvise as situations arise? ;)
