Being that it is Thanksgiving Day in the States today thought I would post an A to Z list of some of the things for which I am most grateful.
(I love that I can celebrate TWO Thanksgivings!)

- Jasper – My puppy and the joy of my life.
- Kin – People whom I love and love me just because…
- Laughter – great for heart and soul.

For what are you most grateful?
I am most grateful for being of service to God by serving others in my personal, family and business worlds. I am especially grateful for the presence of other grateful people in my life like Rosalind Gardner, who reminds me to be grateful with notes and forums like this one. Thank you, Roz…

My pleasure, Jack and Happy Thanksgiving! I appreciate you!
Love it Ros! It’s nice to see something good in the “news” these days
I end each day by thanking the Universe for all the good stuff (and even some of the crap stuff – it’s how we learn) in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Hey Niall,
Want something ‘feel good’? Watch CNN’s HEROs. It was awesome and It’ll be on again next weekend.
Cheers,
Ros
Thank you Rosalind from a place deep inside my soul. I so much agree and thank you for reminding me of gratitude again. Yes, its the fuel for the law of attraction to work. Please consider from the best in my heart: You start with attraction(with the fuel of gratitude), then intent ( your creativity(vision) of the best for mankind), then allowance ( you have to just allow the creative force to work – (let a baby find its feet) this can be so hard trying go back in and fix things) then let the harmony work itself out. You say you enjoy the taste of organic food. Please consider getting a Fench instrument which will allow you to always check if this organic food has any BADNESS in it. A good friend always does a test on the organic food she buys from a supermarket ( done in the store as she shops) here in the U.K and has found that the organic oranges are much worst than the non-organic ones. All the best to all.
Hi Darling,
My pleasure! And re the organics… I must agree in some cases. Had the worst case of food poisoning ever this summer after eating organic lettuce. Ugh! Grateful that I survived.
Cheers,
Ros
I really have to upgrade my gratitude list! I am grateful for the work that you do that keeps inspiring my life!

I am grateful for finally GETTING the mindset of being grateful! I’ve found over the years that you don’t necessarily have to “like” certain things/actions but still can be grateful for them. I believe when you appreciate all, you more readily see the message behind it. Thank you Roz for your wonderful website; with all the “stuff” out there, it is hard to discern between what’s doable and what’s not. I always find myself coming back here…happy day!
Thanks Kim.
My pleasure entirely! And ‘getting’ the mindset is more than half the battle. Consider yourself there.
Hugs,
Ros
Hi Ros,
Your list certainly says it all. Speaking of family, and reading one of your posts about your Mom, I am very grateful that I have mine, eventhough we are miles apart. She is in BC, I am in Ontario. I can pick up the phone at least, when I know of others who can’t.
And, in view of Thanksgivings and Christmas coming, we were talking just the other day about this very thing – being grateful just knowing our own holidays will be spent quite comfortably as usual, while others struggle every day routinely trying to be even slightly comfortable. For this reason, we are realizing we could certainly stand to tone things down sometimes, and not just on holidays.
Hi Jane,
Or, the other option would be to move to B.C. LOL
Cheers,
Ros
I am grateful for the things that I have learned from the Super Affiliate Handbook. I am building my own business and financial future by applying what I have learned from this book, and I am truly grateful for that. I am grateful for life and everything in it.
Thanks Rosalind,
Sandy
Hi Sandy,
And I’m grateful that I could help! Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Ros

The ‘rolling hills of Caledon’ gave me a chill. That’s where I’d always run to when I needed to get away from Toronto when I still lived there. Absolutely lovely!
Best,
Ros
I am grateful for the amazing internet. Even the opportunity to read others words of gratitude and write a few of my own. After many years of cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for a large family I am grateful to be invited to dinner by adult children.
I am grateful for the grandchildren that made a “I am Grateful For” poster that they invited everyone to sign.
Enjoy the day!
Mary
Hi Mary,
The benefit of having kids. My dog will never have pups and never invite me for dinner.
Cheers,
Ros
Hi Ros,
I am truly grateful for the opportunities that I have been given and the encouragement I have recieved from succesful marketeers like yourself.
Always happy with a mental age slighter larger than my shoe size….

Nick,
I’d be happy with a mental age the same as my shoe size.

What a great way of re-thinking the idea of being grateful! Here’s my top 5. I’m grateful for:
1. Having amazing and supportive parents.
2. Having a super cool brother and sister-in-law.
3. Being a auntie to my 2 beautiful nieces.
4. Having the best lover EVER!
5. Being able to live a beautiful life surrounded with love and appreciation.
I wish you all to have the same feelings and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all!
Thank you Rosalind for being a true model for me.
God Bless You!

Andrea,
‘Best lover ever’… consider yourself VERY fortunate!
Cheers,

Although I’m not religious I’d have to say God. Also, the Internet of course.
