Title: With Thanksgiving approaching...
Post by nancyc on Nov 21st, 2002, 11:12am
I wanted to express some of  the things I am thankful for: To list them all, would take days.
First of all, CH.COM and my family here.  The prayers each of you have said for me and my family.
That my son , his wife and my grandson are coming to live with me for awhile...and I will be able to spend the holidays with them.
That I have been pf since August and have a wonderful Neuro and that I have even lost 25 pounds since going to him.
That I have a wonderful and supportive MOM, family and a wonderful little pup, Toby.
That God has blessed so many of my clusterbuds....my prayer this week is that all of you will be pf.
There is so much I am thankful for...and these are just a few things...God bless you all.. smiles, nancyc

I am thankful for all the sufferers who are PF, and will be even more thankful if they and many more are able to be PF through the holidays.  No one should have to live with the beast any time, but especially not during the holidays.

PFDAN................................... Drk^Angel

Hey Nancy,

Thanksgiving.  That is a good day, huh.  Each year my family holds hands and takes turns sharing what they are thankful for.  This is the first year that I will hold my families hands and share that, among other things, I am thankful for each and every clusterBUD here.

Then, sooner or later someone will bring up politics and shit, there goes the Boid. ;D

PFDAN :)

I'm happy I sorta know you people and that almost everyone finds some kind of help here.

What a thing you've done, DJ! http://www.headachesupportgroups.com/echat43/hail.gif

I'm also happy that all I have to buy this year is my relative's gin.  They probably know I lost my liking for the stuff. I'll find something cheap  ::)

Everyone chow down next week.

Do you know that this is the 39th anniversary of the assassination? Never thought I'b be so old..... :-/

Hello sweety. Nice to know these days are goin yer way.

Fer me...I gotta go with my Thankfulness to see and accept and deal with life's roller coaster "on life's terms". Not just the "good stuff"...butt the shitstorm too.

I'm Thankful that I know that I alone am responsible for my attitude....and no longer rely on chemicals to "fill the hole" of "what's wrong with me?" that my fears create.

NancyC, I thank you for reminding us that there is so much to be thankful for.    

I am thankful for the people on this board that helped me through my first cycle and to DJ for having the insight to know that suffering can be less painful when you are not alone.  

I am thankful that my cycle ended after four long months.  PF for almost a month, Thank you !!!

I am thankful that my husband is feeling a little better and might make it through the holidays with a smile on his face and I am thankful to all those praying for him,  cause God does listen.    

I am thankful to my family and friends who always remind me I am never alone.  

I am thankful to God for carrying me when I couldn't take another step.

For me, T-Day is the day that starts off the secular festivities with +Another Roadside Attraction+. It usually involves a trip just short enough to be "do-able", yet long enough to be a true crapshoot with fate.  The temptation is truly there........visitation with a foreign dignitary that's  _perfectly willing _  to devote 14 hours in a hot kitchen, elbows deep in a Salmonella Retention Vessicle, 9 pots a-simmer on any form of heating utility, all so you and the rest of the "family" can turn a beautiful Better Homes and Gardens holiday banquet table into a pile of rubble, bones and spills in under 15 minutes..............
It's immediately thereafter that the infamous "Poultry Effect" kicks in, where everybody except the hostess falls under the spell of the ultimate Yard Bird and pretends to sort of Doze Off, blaming seritonin, or any other long word they can think of that sounds remotely medical in origin. As I'm one to always keep the doors open for next years invite, somehow my internal clock chimes at just the right moment, and I charge into the kitchen with a hearty "Here....let ME help", grabbing that last coffee cup, dipping it into a suds-less, grey, murky semi-fluid, swab the insides with the remnants of the "dishcloth", rinse & dry, placing it on the shelf. Now's about the time I look my hostess in the eye, and say "There you go.....WE'RE Done" with my award winning smile. It never fails that, at that singlular moment, she throws her arms around me, weeping and uttering profound thanks for caring, not like her #&^$%^*%^*!#$ husband watching a football game. (Little does she know that I'm ACTUALLY  peering down the front of her wet T-Shirt, trying to decide in my best Zen mode, whether her "cups" are half full, half empty, or truly *runneth over*.)  

It's not called "Thanksgiving" for nothing, my friends. :)

Best to all,
RJ
