| Thanksgiving Posted: 10/7/2007 7:04:57 AM | What am I thankful for? The list is endless! Of course I am thankful for my family, friends and good health. I am thankful that I cooked my Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday and thankful that my dinner guests so willingly accepted my gift of leftovers to take home! Now I only have enough on hand to feed only a small army. I am especially thankful for the great organizations around our city. All I have to do is help out at the Mustard Seed ..... | |

| Thanksgiving Posted: 10/7/2007 4:55:52 PM | Thanksgiving is overrated. This is the holiday that the pilgrims came up with to celebrate the day they had the Indians over for turkey dinner and pumpkin pie so that they could get them wasted on whiskey and steal their land. No wonder they were grateful!
But seriously...I'm grateful for my amazing kids,the rest of my family(especially my Mom), my loyal dog, my loyal and amazing friends (POF&others), my health, the roof over my head, the new life I'm embarking on and most of all my ability to be grateful for all of these gifts year round. | |

....if anyone has truly reflected on what they feel thankful for in general or specific,,,
I did so much reflection that I became so emotional I couldn;t attend a Thanksgiving dinner!!
As we get older there is so much more to reflect upon, both good and bad. We have to be thankful for some of the bad in our lives as it makes us more aware of what surrounds us and appreciate the little things that much more. I am thankful I have two fabulous kids with families and very thankful that I have made some friends from this site,( you know who you are). | |
|
| Thanksgiving Posted: 10/8/2007 11:08:37 AM | | I understand being grateful for the bad. It is often the bad that leads to real change in our lives as well as personal growth. Pain can be a great catalyst for improving the quality of our lives by motivating us to make some difficult but necessary changes. | |

| Thanksgiving Posted: 10/8/2007 11:57:27 AM | I'm thankful I have the most amazing parents in the world, and for every moment I can spend with them.

I am thankful I have two beautiful and hilarious neices A sister who cares about me And thankful that my best friend is finally getting her head out of her ass and living again. | |

| Thanksgiving Posted: 10/8/2007 1:28:52 PM | I'm thankful for the simple fact that I can sit in front of my computer be able to read and type while food is cooking on the stove. Sunshine are beaming through the patio windows to my wooden floor, all my house plants are green and shinny. I am in a state of harmonious. Life's happiness are all about small things; I am thankful I have the ability and mentality to perceive and enjoy. And then of course, I am so thankful that I don't live in Burma; the news there make me feel how lucky I am. | |

| Thanksgiving Posted: 10/7/2008 11:08:34 PM | I am thankful for a certain police officer who listened to every word without bias, for my teacher who went beyond the call of duty and made it her personal mission to make sure I didn't fail, for all of my friends who listened, every time, even though there was nothing they could do to help, for my special friend in Phoenix who's wisdom, professionalism, knowledge and unyielding faith kept me hanging in there every single time I was ready to give up.
I am most thankful for my son for hanging on to who he is against insurmountable odds and coming back home, and his brother's strength and refusing to give in or give up.
You're all amazing people and I wouldn't have survived this past year without you! | |
