I have to add that I am so grateful that it's daylight savings time and it's getting warmer. I love to be able to go for a walk (if it isn't raining, which it has been doing a lot). People are even walking in the rain! If not, they would be stuck inside for days! If it was fall, getting colder and darker, I would have even more trouble getting through this. But I know many love fall, earlier darkness, cooler weather, so this must be hard for them as it would have been for me if this happened in Oct.

I am grateful that I like my family, and don't mind being cooped up with them (but don't hold that to me in 8 weeks!)
I am glad for technology and that we are financially secure enough to weather this.
My grandma died a couple of weeks before this exploded and I am grateful we were all able to be with her, she would have been so lonely if it were a couple of weeks later.

I am grateful that we always bought extra when we find good deals so out pantry is full without panicky buying.
I’m grateful that we chose stable government jobs despite the low pay. So many are losing their jobs right now:(
I’m grateful that my adult children are close enough that we can help them if needed.
I’m grateful that our high-risk family members are taking this seriously.
I’m grateful that my job doesn’t require me to make really tough decisions.
I’m grateful we are in a position to be anxious but not fearful. I truly hope that does not change.
I’m grateful that we do not have any health conditions that require us to visit doctors’ offices or the hospital.
I’m grateful that we aren’t in total lockdown and can go for a drive or walk around the neighborhood.
I’m grateful that I’m a craft supply hoarder lol. My stash has come in handy a lot lately.
I’m grateful for Amazon.
I’m grateful for all of the people going to work and making my life easier.

Oops - misread and didn’t realize I was to limit it to three things. I started to edit my post and thought better of it. I am super grateful right now! Lol.

It is nice to realize how much we have to be grateful for. I just didn't want to be thankful for everything and then not be able to think of anything tomorrow

* I’m grateful that I have a sweet wonderful husband. * I’m grateful I can work from home. * I’m grateful that I don’t have to rush out the door in the morning, for at least, the next few weeks.

I’m grateful my husband is currently safe (“safe” ) and healthy, working in Afghanistan. It sucks that we have a reason to still be there (and it’s scary too to have him so far away at this time), but as long as there are troops to support he’ll have a job. The most important part of his job is keeping the military members there connected with their loved ones, so he is essential. I’m grateful my four children are home with me. I’m grateful this is all happening at the beginning of spring. If it were happening at the beginning of winter I know it would be much harder on many of us. More sun makes me feel better .

I’m thankful for my husbands job. He is working from home, being paid and we aren’t worried about him losing his job. (Active duty Army) I’m thankful my son loves his new job. I’m thankful for anxiety meds. It’s been a really horrible 8 months for me and I don’t see if getting better anytime soon.

I'm grateful that being home means I have plenty of space to wander and spring is coming.
I'm grateful for mail order pharmacy and my new supply has arrived.
I'm grateful for the two good humans I raised and that one is safe here with me and the other is in their new (to them) town-home yet not alone. Roomies are good and caring people. They watch out for each other.

I am home and off work without pay from Panera, However, I am still grateful that my boyfriend is still going to work for them and not only earning money but giving him something to do during these challenging times. They are offering takeout in our area and due to low sales and simply not needing many to run the restaurant now, they are laying off hourly workers and keeping general managers busy. He’s the type that needs to be out doing something so I am thankful that he has somewhere to go.

I'm grateful for internet. Whatsapp, Netflix, Kindle, Instagram, Twitter and 2peas make this situation better.
I'm grateful that I have a job that allows me to work from home. I don't have to worry about it yet.
I'm grateful it's spring. I couldn't handle isolation in october when it's miserable and dark all the time. Sun gives me energy.

I am thankful for the company I work for. Today we had a meeting letting us know that instead of layoffs, the owner/CEO is forgoing his salary for 90 days, and the rest of the salaried employees are taking a 22.5-33.5% pay cut. Hourly employees (me) still get paid their full pay. Yesterday I was salty that everyone else got to work from home while I still had to go in, but today, I am humbled and grateful.

I keep thinking how grateful I am to be divorced and not cooped up with an asshole I hate right now.
Grateful that I got enough of a settlement that I should be okay financially while this plays out.
Grateful to be home with my kids. We are going a bit stir crazy, but they really are my favorite humans.
Grateful that my college is making allowances so that I should still graduate despite not being able to fulfill all the requirements.

I’m grateful it’s Spring and not Autumn/winter. The thought of being on lockdown going into winter would be even harder 😕
