....Having a beautiful home full of love

....having a good stable job with good guys to work with

....having the best lil furkids :)

For being able to go after work each day to the track and walk around it for more then just five laps.."yep there was a time I couldn't make one"

My true friends who are not trying to change me. "They may not always understand me"

My positive attitude even when things get at their lowest or money is no where to be seen I am able to pull myself up and sing along with the music on my way to work

That I do have a job with the jobs so not there where I live

My relationship with my mother....there was a time when we didn't have one and I thought we never would...I'm soo glad that changed :)

TF :toast:

antibiotics and vets...the dog has stopped peeing on the floor

a warm dog napping on my chilly feet

Friends, forgiveness, long talks and understanding :)

I am THANKFUL for....
 

I am thankful for finally a day to myself to do nothing , nothing at all. :)

Very thankful I'm an independent, confident woman; for that I have Momma D to thank.

Very thankful that Momma D helped me (years ago) to heal and show me my worth, as well as teach me that I didn't need to accept abuse or tolerate an abusive relationship. She guided me during a very difficult, painful time of my life when my son died...it was because of her that I recovered and learned independence and confidence again.

I'm thankful and happy that I know what Home is and thankful for the important people I feel safe with to include them as part of that Home.

I'm thankful for FEELING grief as it has helped me process feelings to reach closure and peace.

I'm thankful for beautiful days and for the uplifting feeling of hope.

I am EXTREMELY THANKFUL for my medical team...even more so when I learned today that one of my specialists is an Advocate for the LGBTQ Community and is genuinely accepting and non judgemental. That I can open up to her on subjects I've never discussed with any other medical professional. In her words, she's very knowledgeable, including supporting parents in the Community and about Trans issues.

I'm thankful for the events that led me to meet this individual.

I am grateful that my mom seems more like her old self today.

I am thankful that I can learn and grow even from tedium and difficulty

I am thankful for Aleve liquid gels, they tide me over until I can get into my PC doctor to get my real pain meds.

I am thankful for a job I love and the fact that I have decent health insurance... I'd be screwed without it.

I am thankful for God's Spring masterpiece. I think this is the most beautiful Spring I can remember in years and years. The frost didn't come late enough, and the buds didn't come to early. Everything worked perfectly this year.

The wild Dogwoods are in full bloom and are beautiful. I don't remember seeing soooo many Azalea's in so many different variations all in bloom. There are every color you could imagine. I like the compact Azalea's but even the leggy ones are pretty this year.

Thank you God for the beauty of all things Spring.

I'm so thankful that my heart function has gone from working at less than 30% to right at 60% in 3 months. I Dont have to wear or have a defibrillator implanted. My a1c has dropped 5.5 pountsbin 3 months. That shows the drs I knew what I was talking about when I went into the hospital.

I'm thankful for a job that has let me grow and now it may be that I will be promoted into a new position time will tell. I just hope it doesn't mean I have to move.

Certain people that go above and beyond...and are the definition of true, selfless, lifelong friends.

Thankful for a good life.
 

• I have choices and options.
• There are people who care for me.
• I am able to improve my health, my finances, my relationships.
• I'm also able to make a difference in other people lives without taking away from my own.

Everyone's not afforded these opportunities. Lucky me.

I am so thankful for all those who texted me through out my arduously long work day today....

They made a 13 hour shift more tolerable and gave me snippets of happiness all through a day that was rather difficult emotionally....

(f)

I am thankful for the message I received at church this morning. I needed that!

I'm thankful for the unknown women who speak truth to power. They also make a difference whether or not we know who they are.

Thankful
 

I am thankful for this site. I met my lovely lady here along with some dear friends.

The opportunity to give back

A job
 

I've got to work this weekend, but I'm grateful to have this job.

Liquid Band-Aid
 

I work with paper and get paper cuts all the time, but it's rough when I get them in the crease of my palm.

Got one in the crease yesterday and thank goodness for liquid band aid.

This cut will heal in days with liquid band aid, otherwise it would take weeks.

Flexible Managers Rule
 

I've been very lucky with managers. I've had three different managers in the last 15 years and all of them have been great. One former manager, who no longer works at this company, is now my best friend and we're going to a concert next month. :)

Well, I had to call my manager earlier and let her know I was gonna miss a deadline because I just didn't want to work on this project (writing instructions for Windows XP users). I have made everything else a priority—including writing this posting. BTW, this isn't my modus operandi. I'm reliable and I get things done whether I have to come in on a weekend, stay late, whatever. But, not this project.

Anyway, she was so cool. She said "I get it and I'm doing the same thing—postponing work that needs to be done."

So, I'm thankful for flexible managers who "get it."

Ceiling fans...
A refreshing cool bath...
Oversized fluffy towels...
A big picture window overlooking the fields as I lounge half naked, after my bath, with the breeze from the fan drying my skin...
A well stocked pantry and dinner in the crock...
Fresh veggies from the most beautiful garden you've ever seen...
Homemade smoothies...

Making a phone call about a mistake with a hospital bill and being told "you should have NEVER been billed for that, I will take care of it immediately".

"Spare" Car
 

My honey lamb is letting me use her car and she is driving her truck until I can scrape enough together for a down payment on an affordable reliable vehicle.
For most of both of our lives this would have been impossible but now it isn't. It took a lot of hard work to get here and for that improvement, the car and my honey lamb I am very grateful

Acts of forgiveness and acts of grace at unexpected times.

I am thankful for it not being a it's hot enough to melt day! LOL

Nice 86 degree day after a month of 90+ temps and days of over 95+. It's the humidity here that makes hot weather so miserable.

He just said for the first time since July 4 it was below 90

I'm thankful for the wonderful people I work for...

My client today gave me a $20 tip and told me to enjoy my weekend...

I am thankful for the people who never give up on me or walk out of my life, knowing that I am worth keeping around for the long haul.

I'm thankful for my friends and neighbors around me....even if it is only 2 people I can hang with around here.
