Title: What are you thankful for:
Post by Linda_Howell on Nov 21st, 2007, 12:08am
I'll start:


Two families to care about. One of them biological.  One through a shared pain.

enough food that I am not hungry on any day of the year.

enough money that I can sometimes help others.

enough intelligence.
enough  health
enough...

Linda,

Enough is as good as a feast.

I am grateful for my whole life and the opportunity to affect, even slightly, the path of someone else for the better.

I am thankful for:

My family here.

My biological family, especially my parents who are always there for me, no matter what.

My boyfriend who is very patient and always makes me smile, even when he is making fun of me!

My cat and my dog.

Having a job that I love and the fact that I will always have a job as a nurse.

I am thankful for the good days, or even the good minutes, when the pain is less and I feel okay - even though my bf says that I jinx myself (I do not believe this!), I still like to be appreciative for the good times....they make the bad times a little less bad.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Carrie :)

I am thankful for my biological family, some health issues that came out ok , having the will power to pay off all my debts, ( it's a miracle). Having friends like you Linda, whom I've never met, but know in my heart that you are all such loving and caring people. What more could you ask for.

Thankful - it's not a big enough word for how I feel.

I'm thankful I have my kids, my health (it might not be much but it's a hell of a lot better than what some people have!)

I'm thankful I have a home and more love to fill it than the walls can hold.

I'm thankful I have the best friends in the world and all over the world to boot.

I'm thankful DJ is the man he is and thanks to him I have all of you. I can't ever explain just how thankful I am each and every day of my life for that but the best bit is - I don't need to. You - yes you reading this!! You know - 'cos you're here too.

DJ -  :-*

I'm thankful for my especially good friends. My angels without visible halo's who prove every day that there is much more good than evil in this world.


And I'm really thankful you lot put up with my shit day in, day out  ;)

with love
Helen xxx

I'm thankful for

My family here and at home.

I have a job that keeps the roof and food paid for.

My life is not as complicated as it could be.

RC seeds and the PF time they have afforded me.

Good friends that I know are always in my corner no matter what.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Honestly, this sounds corny...but a more accurate question for me, is what am I NOT thankful for....

My soft blankets...my slippers...finally getting a car...

My husband, my daughter, my parents, my friends...food..for the gift of being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my my family....there's so much I lost...and this year, has been the year I've been richly blessed after many years of "learning"...

For Linda, who makes me stick around off cycle, after finally convincing me posting couldn't possibly start a cycle, for all of you for being my second family, and of course for my wife and brat daughters, the "first" family. I am truly a blessed man.

Linda, that's a very loaded question... ;)

I'm thankful for:

Sticking around,
for my adopted families,
for Mike posting Justin Wilson's Sweet Potato Pie recipe a few years back ;;D,
for a beautiful home & cozy fireplace,
for my husband who amazingly hasn't left me in over 13 yrs,
for my daughter Lily & son Eli,
for this little one who'll be gracing me with her life in March,
for my husband's family who've accepted me as their own,
for the little handprints all over the mirrors & windows,
for glue smeared all over my coffee table because Eli made a snowman out of popsicle sticks,
for the fact Jesse & mine life has turned out so beautiful,
for electricity, gas, heat, a stove, fridge, washer & dryer,
for my husband's job that he still has even though it's hardened him through the years,
for the peace and quiet of a winter's morning having coffee and watching the snowbirds eat,
for kleenex,
for having common sense,
for the soldiers risking their lives to protect mine,


I could go on, and on, and on....

I am thankful for everything that has happened in my life, both the good and the bad because they have helped shaped me who I am.

I am also thankful for all the people who have come into my life, some stay, some go but they are all important to me in one way or another.

I am thankful that I have a sound mind to be able to recognise and to appreciate how lucky I am.

I am most thankful for the opportunity and the ability to love and to care.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE  :-* :-* :-*

-my kids love me no matter what-but they sometimes do not like me, and
-I can still embarass my kids
-my husband is still here after almost 3 years of chronic CH.
- I can still embarass him also.
-friends and family whose support and caring create a web of safety and stability for me.

I'm grateful for:

Pain... it helps me to appreciate being pain free.
Poverty....It helps me to appreciate my blessings.
Loneliness... it helps me to appreciate my friends and family.
Hunger... it helps me to appreciate my bounty.
Fear... it helps me to recognize and appreciate courage.
Loss....it helps me to be ever thankful for my loved ones.
Oppression.... it helps me to appreciate my freedom.
Old age... it helps me to appreciate the human condition and keeps me humble.
Homelessness... It helps me to appreciate my blessings.

Dear God thank you for everything that comes my way and help me to realize that all things before me are for your glory and honor and every trial and blessing is an illumination of your love. Help me to stay focused on the lessons in this life and forever grateful for all of the blessings that you provide.

with warm regards,
Tony

About now, I'm thankful for Tums so I can eat some pie soon!! Seriously though, I have thought about this all day. I reread an email I sent to Linda last Dec. Lisa had just been admitted for the second time in less than a month for CH. We were all so depressed, frustrated and desperate for answers. Last year she was discharged the day before Thanksgiving after her first week trying to analyze what was going on in her head. Lisa and I spent Thanksgiving day at her apartment, too afraid to go too far from her doctor. I am so thankful what a difference a year makes. I am thankful for those of you here who held our hands, listened to my whining, answered my questions over and over, guided us with love and patience and for the ability now to help other new people that come here. I am thankful for your friendship.

I am also thankful that the pain of death does not hurt as bad as the first fresh days and time does heal. I am thankful for the birth of my puppy, Maddie who helped me overcome and ease the losss of my Emily.

I am thankful Lisa graduated on time despite the year from hell!!Yay Lisa!!! And for my husbnad who has been by our side regardless of what was facing us.

Thankyou Melissa for mentioning your thankfulness for the "soldiers" that are fighting....and to protect each and every one of us...at the sacrifice of their lives, being with their families....Thank you.

I thank you Jonny...for your kindness and respect re my husband, when on a thread that came forward, that I didn't mean to...instead of attacking me  with a sarcastic remark, as some others did...you noticed what I said about my husband.  THAT is what you took away from it. which reveals your character...loud and clear...you didn't jump on an opportunity to flame me...thankyou for realizing the sacrifice, the pain, the worry...what it must be like to be alone with your spouse in combat...

Thanks.
