We've got the Pet Peeves thread and the Mad thread and so I thought I'd balance things out by adding some positive energy to the mix.
What are some things you absolutely love doing? What makes your day? Who are some people you've met in your life that you are very grateful for? What are some of your passions, ways you hope to change your life and others' lives for the better, etc.
I'll start.
I am so glad I joined AD. I've met some great people on here that have really taught me acceptance through example. AD has welcomed me with open arms despite my initial fears of joining as a hearing person.
I am so glad I met my girlfriend this summer. We have an incredibly deep connection and love for each other. We have helped each other through some very hard times. We have some of the same challenges in life so we are able to support each other. She has shown me unconditional love -- she's watched me go blind, she's watched me almost be hospitalized for depression and PTSD, and she's been with me there the whole way.
It absolutely makes my day when I come across braille signage where least expected. It makes my day when someone is open to the alternative ways blind people do things and I am able to teach them, eliminating just another drop of ignorance in this world.
I love seeing compassion and empathy. When someone stops for a moment, and really feels what it's like to be another person, that gives me hope for this world. When someone chooses love even when they could have chosen to antagonize and bully someone, that just makes my day.

I think what I am most grateful for is my family and my friends. I am also grateful that the hardships I have had to go through in the past are over, and can not hurt me anymore.
