Members shared what they're grateful for despite life's challenges, with the most common themes being family, health, simply being alive, and sobriety. Several members expressed deep gratitude for their medical teams, medications that keep them healthy and undetectable, loved ones both present and passed, and the small joys like pets, the ocean, and gardening that make life worth living. A recurring theme was finding gratitude even in grief and hardship, with many crediting faith, support systems, and the gift of each new day as sources of strength and hope.

I am grateful for the very question, which is often posed. Grateful to be asked and in essence invited, to turn within & with intention, pay attention to the qualities that make us thrive & feel alive

WOW!! There’s so much and so many people to list. First off, I am thankful for God above for without him None of this would matter. First the 4 internal disease, doctors I’ve had over the last 30 years and their staff who always seem to be glad to see me because you know I’m so charming to my family to my friends to my best friend to lovers who we put in the ground I’m thankful for my health but in 30 years I’m still going strong. I’m thankful for Gilead labs who have paid the premium $4000 a month for the last 16 years of medication that I can still be a part of this world. I’m thankful for the people that are behind the scene. The ones we don’t see about the ones that took medicationā€˜s before we did before we did that had horrible side effects and conditions those that paved the way for us to be reading this today and most of all I’m thankful for my sister Donna, who will never read this, but she and her husband probably saved my life just by telling me to get back home even though I was a Texan for 40 years she will never really know she probably saved my life. Thank you all.

I am not happy since P died (91 days ago) but I can be grateful. Grateful I gave her the best life and she changed mine forever. I even gave her the best last days. That itself is a gift. I'm grateful my parents are healthy and alive and spending my inheritance in their RV all over BC and Alberta just now. Grateful at age 58 I not only made it (I thought the way I lived I'd be dead by now) but still sassy and sexy as F. Grateful I see the ocean every day. Grateful I get to work in a fabulous industry. Grateful for M & Ms, peanut of course. Grateful for my buddies. Grateful I was at a bar last night that had balls disco ball (attached). Life is amazing.
