I would add: being debt free and able to only work parttime, because I chose to.
Living across the street from my grandchildren and being able to spend quality time with them often.
My garden and the wonderful enriched soil that nourishes it.
I am easily happy – and it doesn’t take much to make me happy.
My ability to enjoy the simpler more natural things in life and to not “need” artificial entertainment

Five things I’m thankful for right this minute:

1. My husband, who is the most supportive person I know.

2. My kids, who bring me joy every single day.

3. The opportunity that arose for me today.

4. My education.

5. That we live in a safe city with great schools.

I couldn’t have said it better. Absolutely love all that you have listed here.

I think we quit our “corporate” jobs around the same time. I’m so happy I came to my senses!

I am also grateful for the people who have come into my life as a result of living a healthier, more abundant life.

Thanks for sharing!

I agree that being thankful makes simple-living even more enjoyable, although I haven’t quite mastered the art of being quiet and thankful every day.

1. The ability to afford organic food. We also spend quite a bit on organic, but we cut back in most other areas to do so.

2. The fact that I’m easy to please. I can lead a simple life and be very happy.

3. Animals that let us get close; specifically, my cats.

4. Family.

5. My able body. I am so thankful to be able to see and hear, because I know it was just a luck of the draw.

Thanks for the opportunity to share! This made for an enjoyable lunch exercise.
