I got a huge amount out of it and I know others joined in (and hopefully got something from it too). I'd like to continue to be grateful into 2015 so have started a fresh thread.

halfpint Jan 2015 7:10pm, 3 Jan 2015 19,113 posts	0 halfpint The beginning of the new year always leads to taking stock and often we dwell on what we want to change. Thinking back over the last year and beyond I have so much to be grateful for though. Family and friends who have supported me through difficult times, even when my choices brought me to them, and when others may have turned their backs. To now be in a position where I can support my wee family and make exciting plans for the future. For my health and that of my family. To live in a country where I have not only freedom but so many opportunities. I could go on and on.....

Today I am grateful that, coming home from a few days away, my Christma lights have fallen down and pulled a glass vase off the windowsill but, despite having to hit a stereo and table on the way down, it's not broken or damaged.

Having read some of your other lovely gratitudes, I realise that I too am grateful to have freedom of choice - even if I don't always exercise it as I should
