forever thankful for....
 

All the wonderful, very fond memories of time spent in Patrick Springs and for those friends that helped me become strong again with all their support and compassion ..

Thankful they made me feel safe and at "home "...

Today I am thankful for the time I got to spend with family, the beautiful outdoors, the sunshine, and my pup Ginger. I am also thankful for the ability to read, think and work on my studies. I think I am slowly formulating plans for papers yet to be finished before the end of the semester. Most of all I am thankful for my parents. Both of them are failing in health, but I am very grateful to still have them even if sometimes they do frustrate me with their forgetfulness, repeating themselves twenty times, and their numerous requests and distractions when I am very busy. I truly am blessed to have them in my life at the ages of 92 and 86. I can only hope to live that long and remain as active as they still are. I am blessed.

I am thankful for...

... learning patience... and enjoying anticipation

people who give me rides to and from church when it's cold and raining! :) my joints especially are thankful.

Thankful for...
 

I *know* when life is hard and scary, I will get through it. I'll survive, and things will get better.

I am thankful for...
 

... my amazing family. Their love, support, kindness and unity keeps me grounded and reminds me that I will never, ever, be alone.

... my best friends. I don't think I could have asked for more. They are my biggest supporters and toughest critics. They are there for me, without question. Just as I am there for them. I have been blessed.

... I don't think thankful is an appropriate word, but in hopes of keeping with the thread, I am thankful for God placing my kitten in my life. She is where I belong and every day I thank the heavens above for her.

It is easy to get caught up in life and focus solely on the hardships. Credit, work, school and so forth. But taking a moment to look closely at what you do have - it can just brighten your whole outlook. No matter how stressed I am with life, these three things keep me going.

I am simply thankful for life.

the text message that put my mind in the gutter... well timed dear... I was about to get cranky at work. and no one needs that.

I am thankful for Him and everything He has shown me, taught me, given me, supported me through...and so very much more.

i am so thankful..
 

Welding. It is litterally the only thing keeping me from imploding.

Gratitude... its been along time
 

I am thankfull for a change in momentum that allows me to focus on myself and become again the person i want to be. A lil self relflection is never wasted.

So thankfull for the gym! .... ouch!!!!4 to 5 times a week! its been over 4 years since ive done this!

I am thankful for a pup that greets me with kisses abound
A partner that knows when to sit back and let me fume until exhausted
A coworker that recognizes my "RAWR" face and reminds me that our shift if almost over

I am thankful for customers that appreciate my effort and make a point to pass it along to senior management - my ASM mentioned tonight that I was recognized for my work.. Let's hope that is in my folder for the interview for head cashier, yes?

I am thankful for soup in a can on nights I eat dinner late, for TWC for fixing our Internet so I can stay up until the wee hours watching Netflix, for the soft breeze coming through the windows..

I will be thankful for a second-story bedroom so I can sleep with the window open without worrying about someone breaking in!

people who believe in me...thank you...

I have many things to be thankful for in this life. The one most important to me is my wife, Andrea. We have been together seven years now, legally married for five years. Neither of us sees an end in sight! LOL That I am thankful for, as well. She must be sick in the head!

I am thankful for my 90 year old dad, though he doesn't always know who I am. I am especially thankful for the live in care givers he and his wife have. We would all be lost without them.

I am thankful for one of my best friends, "Jimmie" Olga Card, that passed away last week at age 96. She was a spit fire, put me in my place many times! I deserved every one of 'em! LOL I miss her lots.

I am just thankful for every day I have here on earth. I have no idea what happens after this, but I hope it includes getting reunited with those I love. Especially my wife! No one can annoy her like I do! LOL
Heh, heh!
