Comments on: Grateful… http://www.cherryblossomadventures.com/2008/11/21/grateful/ An Aussie girl living in Tokyo with her Japanese boyfriend trying to make sense of her crazy yet funny Japanese life...

It's such a good thing to sit down and think about what we're grateful for, isn't it? I know I definitely don't do it enough. Lately I've been grateful for random small things like finding ripe persimmons (which I'd been missing terribly) in our local supermarket and small experiences like watching my little girl scold our cat to "Be nice!" after she had been the one antagonizing her. Life is good. What a beautiful list! It’s such a good thing to sit down and think about what we’re grateful for, isn’t it? I know I definitely don’t do it enough.

It took us much longer to get pregnant than we had ever anticipated and suffice it to say, she is now an amazing addition to our life. I try to remember that every day! I am grateful for my daughter.

I am grateful that I am blessed with a happy healthy little boy who lights up my life with his smiles! Am also grateful that I have been able to find a job that uses my skills and that I enjoy. I am also grateful for all the fabulous friends I have, both IRL and online. I think being able to remember what you are grateful for is a good thing that helps you through the lowest moments. Hope you have a lovely weekend. xxx What a lovely list!

I definately need to remind self to be grateful for more rather than less. Despite the constant blog complaining I do have a lot to be grateful for. Thank you for reminding me :) That was really nice lulu – have never even met you and got wee bit teary. I definately need to remind self to be grateful for more rather than less.

I totally agree, sometimes we need to sit back and think of everything we're grateful for. It's so much easier to focus on all the negatives!! I love your list and I really felt the love by the number of times Shun came up. oohhhhh, so sweet. :) And you didn't even need to resort to negatives like 'I'm grateful it's NOT snowing...' ;) My list? As well as all the usual suspects I would have to say I'm grateful to DH for taking the huge plunge out of his safe city job into the great unknown country life. And grateful that we both really think we made the right decision. Must go thank him again. :) And sushi, buta kakuni AND karaage??? Hope you're not grateful for antacid in the morning!! What a great post.
