Something I do with one of my classes is have them write 3 things they are grateful for each class (we meet 3x per week) and then journal.
I thought we could use a little thankful thread ourselves. It can be one or three.
Each day I will bump the thread with the new date and we can continue to add.

I have a garden
I’m at home, not stranded somewhere
My DH is self-employed and I’ve retired so we have been able to self-isolate for 10 days now.

This is a wonderful thread freecharlie . Thank you. I'm grateful that my boys are home safe and sound. Family and loved ones are all that matters.
I'm grateful that we are fortunate enough to be well stocked for yummy dinners.
I'm grateful that when I get stressed I have wonderful support.

I'm grateful we are retired and can self isolate. We have enough food and a roof over our heads.
I'm grateful for my Pea friends who keep me entertained and informed about international news.

I am grateful my 20 yo DD was able to get home from college. She is over 3000 miles from home and I was a hot mess.
I am grateful DD 26 that is married is with her hubby and not in the small town that she lives in. When this all hit and her College shut down she rented a SUV and packed up as much as she could. He is military so they were a part
I am grateful for the beauty things I am stopping to appreciate.

The other thread reminded me.
I am thankful my brother got his stem cell transplant before everything went sideways. I'm hopeful he is far enough away that his immune system is getting strong enough to fight the new virus.

I am grateful that I have a warm home to shelter with my family.
I am grateful that we just had set up our home gym last month. It’s not much, but it’s helping me stay sane.
I’m grateful that we can move one of our kids out of her dorm today. She wants her stuff!

I am thankful that my dh has a job that is secure. Even if he has to be home on quarantine he'll still be paid. I am thankful that I have my dog here for company all day while dh is working, since I'm home worrying about my dd.  I am thankful that we have a well-stocked pantry, and that I found toilet paper this morning for my mother. I have to add a fourth since I just got the email from my mother's assisted living facility -- I am thankful that so far there's no Covid-19 at her facility! They've got them all on lockdown and are doing their best. |

We have electricity, internet, FaceTime, Zoom and a ton of other technology which allows us to be more comfortable and connect with others safely.
My college kids are home and my empty nest is full again.
God is still in control!

I'm grateful that DH and I both have jobs that can sort of be done from home, at least in a way that we keep getting paid.
I'm grateful for all the technology that keeps us connected to each other.
I'm grateful that one child is here being grumpy and the other one is holed up in her apartment doing her online coursework. If they lock Houston down, she may come back home - so I'm grateful that she's only 20 minutes away.

I’m grateful that my daughter will graduate from high school this spring. I’m grateful she has been accepted into university for the fall.
I’m grateful my husband’s company is continuing to pay their salaried employees.
I’m grateful my parents made it home from their winter home in California to BC before the shit really hit the fan!
Much to be grateful for 🥰

I am grateful I can still see my husband thru a glass door in the nursing home. (I talk to him but he no longer can speak due to a decline from a traumatic brain injury that put him there 3 1/2 years ago. I drive 100 miles round trip to go see him. Before, I visited every other day. Now once or twice a week. I can tell the lack of inside visits is taking a toll on him. He sometimes cries during the glass door visits and it breaks my heart.)
I am grateful he still understands when I tell him I love him.
I am grateful our son checks on me since I live alone and am in the high risk category.

I’m grateful for:
My telework job. I was already a teleworker but my company has made changes and now I don’t need to go to meetings in person either. Very thankful to keep my income during this time.
My two pups. They are my companions (besides dh!) and they help keep me entertained and I love to cuddle them.
The beautiful sun we had for the past few days. It was so nice!

Nice idea freecharlie!!! I'm grateful that DH is coming home from the hospital tonight! He'll be happy. I'll be in super-monitoring-mode!!!!!!!!!!! Grateful for family calling/texting/video-chatting to check on me and on DH, especially. Grateful for the amazingly thoughtful gifts from the Peas to make our life easier. I'm so humbled by the generous Peas!!!! Today I got a medical item in the mail from a stranger--a friend of a friend. I'm blown away by the caring nature of people that we don't even know! |

I’m very grateful my family and I are healthy. I’m grateful I have my DH to go through this with. I am very grateful for my sweet and loving canine companion. She is blissfully unaware there is crisis in the world and just spreads happiness.

I’m grateful for a full pantry and refrigerator. I don’t take that for granted.
I’m grateful for two daughters who are old enough to (mostly) guide themselves through this new experience of remote learning.
I’m grateful for my dog and cats, who are wonderful anxiety relievers for me.

As I am sadly packing my stuff to move out of the master bedroom and bath, I am thankful we have a big enough house for me to have somewhere to go and that yds is being flexible.
We will continue to figure out where to put everybody and I can empty the front bedroom if needed. Right now yds thinks he wants to move into the basement

Grateful I have the internet.
Thankful I have retirement income and won't be worrying about lack of salary or food.
Thankful my city/county went on lockdown and hopefully will stop the spread here.
