Her. Her friendship and love. <3

Sitting here on the patio having coffee, watching Kelly and Kevin (the KKs) play in the yard and thinking I am a little excited about what this day will bring.

A few of my countless thankfuls are:

KKs are healthy and happy (I am too)

my job is such I can provide extras for KKs

a peaceful, drama-free life

friends who tell it like it is without the candy-coating

the promotion that is in the works - supervisor informed me last week

Most of all, every day I am eternally thankful for my sobriety. Without that, I could not have been guided to the peace I feel on the inside and would not have any of the previous "thankfuls" I have listed here. I owe it all to the Good Spirit and the people in the rooms of AA. Every single bit of it!

a very simple guy

Ditto mi amor :)

These scary black clouds in Los Angeles. We don't get these too often in San Fran so it is nice to feel like a real storm is coming.

What are you thankful for?
 

What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for so much in my life.
My two beautiful daughters, my wonderful friends who remind me how much I am loved, my creative endeavors, my health and so much more.

Gratitude is so important, what a great thread to start.

I am thankful for healthy, beautiful children. I am thankful for a not so healthy, beautiful child that has taught me what strength and perseverance means. To not take the little things for granted. I am thankful to be over worked and under paid (most days ;) ) because it provides a roof over our heads and food in our bellies. I am thankful for friends who accept me just as I am. I am thankful that I have someone who can see past my moodiness and loves me unconditionally. Someone who tells me I'm beautiful when I look a wreck and kisses me with morning breath. I'm thankful to be alive and share my days and nights with these amazing people.

I'm thankful for being able to return to work tomorrow to a new, shiny position after a 6-month poor health hiatus. I'm thankful to be happy, healthy and alive. I'm thankful for the boost up the ladder this will give me. I'm thankful for friends and family for their love.

My laundry is done, my dishes are washed, I have a freezer full of lunches and my go-bag is repacked. Bring it.

One more day
 

to make my dreams come true......

Another chance to get it right...

The nice steady rain we have needed for so long.
The time off Red and I are having together.

The big ole pot of homemade chili red made. Yummy!

I'm thankful for so very much. I'm truly blessed.

Although life can be incredibly stressful, I am aware of all the good in my life.

I have a loving family, something I am so fortunate for. We may have moments here and there but in truth we are so close. I'm thankful to my parents for the work they put in. My sisters and I are all extremely family oriented and it is such a blessing to know that no matter what - you will never be alone. Ever.

My best friends and chosen family, saying I'm thankful for them simply does not begin to cover it. They are absolutely amazing, truly. I could not picture life without them. There is something so great about having best friends that can turn to you and say... do you remember when we got our license? When we turned 21? Etc. Or, having friends that do not hesitate to slap you upside the head and tell you how foolish you are being... laughs. I adore them.

Then there is the woman in my life; thankful? Every moment of every day. I could not have asked for more.

Yes life is often difficult, stressful and frustrating. But I'm so blessed.

Everything...
 

My children. Even though my boys are coming into their teen years, and I often have the urge to choke them, I love them so very much. They are intelligent, funny, respectful, well-behaved, and they love their momma so much despite me not always being the perfect mom.

My partner. Aside from my children, he is everything right and positive in my life. He pushes me to be the very best I can be, he supports me when I feel like a failure, and he lifts me up when I'm too weak to stand on my own. My rock. My shoulder. My beloved king.

Times get hard, I'm very passionate and very emotional, I'm not always an easy woman to deal with, or handle, but he tries so very hard. He never walks away from me, even when I feel he does at times. He is always there, even if some leash length is what I need, even if I don't think so.

He is my best friend, my guide, my confidant, my sexy sadistic lover, and I am so grateful to have such positive male influence in my life. He is an asset to my family and myself.

I am thankful for the ability my children have to open their hearts and their arms to him, giving him his rightful place at my side, even when they were always the men of my life, the men of the house. Their acceptance is something so amazing.

My life is absolutely amazing. Be the times hard to endure, or blissful and peace-filled, it is still always amazing, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

I'm thankful to have stumbled upon this site.

I'm thankful for my son, who's smarter and way more charming than his mother could ever be.

I'm thankful that I no longer have the fear of accidentally becoming pregnant seeing as I will never be with a biologically-born man EVER again! :huhlaugh:



A Hopeless Femme
:blueheels:

That the sudden day off move ended up working out. My co worker helped immensely. I am grateful for her help. It was so kind and just what I needed to spend some time letting go.

getting a request to speak at a statewide conference for youth with disabilities :) i've been wanting to get involved with this conference for awhile but due to schedule conflicts i can't volunteer this year (maybe next year). but i will be able to do a workshop one day :) yay for finding ways around scheduling conflicts!

i'm grateful for this site, and for supportive friends. i'm grateful to have people to turn to when things are hard.

i'm grateful for activities that get my mind off of things. like gaming (which i'm doing tonight, yay).

I am so very thankful for my 3 grandsons who are right here as we speak; showin' Grammie every one of their "sick" dance moves.
