Title: Blessings
Post by Dragnlance on Feb 25^th, 2006, 12:41am

As Tanner just reminded me, we often have little bits of happiness that we tend to overlook when dealing with as much pain and crap as clusterheads do.

With that said, I would like to start a thread dedicated to our little blessings and things that make us happy.

My wife of nearly 22 years, who can always bring a smile to my face, just by being her. Her understanding and compassion for my pain.

My two springer spaniels, who also bring happiness because of the joy in their spirits.

There are many more, but I want to have everyone share theirs. :D

Thankyou Lance!

Brian & I live beside a swamp and at this time of the year, (Wet Season) it's a veritable mosquito factory and not a very nice place to be.

However, there is a bird which sometimes graces our waking moments with the sweetest, most melodious call we've ever heard. We've never set eyes on the bird, but Brian's betting on Mangrove Robin.

Anyway - no matter what brand of shit the rest of the day might fling our way - no-one can take away the joy of that birdsong. And yes - we count it as a blessing!

I hope this thread will shower us all with numerous blessings. Come on, people! Time to share a few positives!!!!

Son (21) and daughter (19) are here, right now, tickling eachother on my bed, laughing up a storm....

A boss who says 'thank you' when you've worked hard...

Friends who say the right thing at the right time.... or the right thing at the wrong time....

my husband - the best friend anyone could ever have who helps me stay positive when I am getting down. And makes me laugh! (like right now!)

my 16 year old son who started the laundry this morning without being told.

our "puppy" Zoey, who is giving me her adorable puppy-face look. (she is sooo cute!)

The fresh cup of coffee that I didn't have to make- thanks again son.

My Wife. My kids. My CH (simply because I have it and not my wife or kids). This place. My church. My family (both mine and my wife's). My annoying but lovable cat.

We have had a few friends we know go through major problems with their children and so I seriously consider my CH a blessing because I will take it over the problems these friends are having. May sound silly, but I couldn't take either of my kids going through what these kids have.

First and foremost my family because they give me endless reasons to keep going. Without them I really don't know that I could survive this nightmare.

Secondly my Border Collie - Roxy, she's mastered the art of loyalty and affection and is probably the only creature alive that doesn't care about any of my faults and will follow me anywhere.

My stretch of woods. Nothing better than having a place to go where there's always something to discover and try to understand or just spend time in peaceful reflection.

This board - it connects me to folks who truely understand this nightmare and provides opportunity to support and be supported.

My blessings...My wonderful husband, who tries to be supportive, but I don't think I let him know that I appreciate that at least he tries most of the time. Our 3 beautiful children, who pay the biggest price for these HAs. My dogs Emma, Knightley and Max, who keep me company in the middle of the night when I am afraid of going to bed. They are the only reason I have gotten through all of this.

And of course this board and all of its members. Such a wonderful thing to know that I am not alone.

wonderful boyfriend
bunch of versatile friends
nice place to live
priviledge to study what I want to study
food on the table
PF time
supporting ch family right here :)

My wonderful husband, Tarey, who has stuck by me and loved me going on 37 years, and is now learning to be my supporter when I'm down.

My two beautiful grown daughters who never fail to call me at least once a week, just to chat and see how I'm doing

my blessed PF days and nights when out of cycle

The friends and supporters I've found on this website that keep me going when I am in cycle.

Life is good.

My blessings:
Most of all, my mother for her undying love & support
My girfriend, LeeLee, love and support and....
My father, no longer here in body but I know he's here
My two dog's, Nikita and Dakota
My professors at CofC for understanding and letting do the work at my pace(whenI can).
And last but definitely not least, my new CHfamily(without all of you I couldn't be doing this with the strength and smiles with which I now do it. Thank you for giving me something to smile about on a daily basis. That had become very hard to do).
