- - What Are You Thankful For? (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25)

I am thankful that we have closed on the House. We are homeowners. Now the real work begins...

I'm thankful for neighbors that take care of my cat for me when I have to leave and go out of town.

Im so thankful for being alive. I know alot of times people are wrapped up in their lives and whats going on- the good and the bad- that they forget to be truly greatful for what they have. Ive been sick for a long time, and my heart melts for people who are terminaly ill , because i just dont know how they handle it. Im thankful because what i have, is fixable. Cancer, AIDS, etc... those people amaze me. Their faith and will power to want to live. How thankful they are to truly wake up the next day, because they know that tomorrow is not guaranteed, where most take it for granted. Im thankful for today, thr day before, and if god willing, tomorrow too.

Im thankful that I'm learning to be patient and think things thru. I'm quite proud of myself of how I handled some irate customers last night. Normally, I would listen, and then come back with something that sounded smart ass like. Got me in trouble every time, I was then labeled rude. I took it personally and would be upset for a few hours.

Last night, I didn't let it get to me and I stood my ground. I was not the bad guy. Actually, I'm quite proud of myself. Thank you, lesson learned, it does work. Keep practicing it !

I'm thankful for the beauty of nature, and the positive energy and good feeling that it provides me...(and many others)

Everything!
Everyone!
All that exists and love is the only thing that truly exists.

Syr, who always takes care of me and my crazyness. How/why She keeps me around i will never know, but i am so thankful.

I am thankful when online, I do not have hidden agendas. That way, I am not ever hurt or disappointed for being unable to pull/pry a particular response I desired from someone ... no matter how much I tried, tried, tried ....and no matter how kind, kind kind I was for so so so long, long, long ... and then in some kind of sickness, go off on someone who had not a clue of my hidden agenda.

just sayin ... because things finally became (across the board) crystal clear

It is online, for geez sake!

I am thankful for::
the rain we got here today for so many reasons
to help the firefighters get the fire out here
to wash the dirt and grime, my lawns and plants needed it

I am thankful for ::
where my life is now, and who is in it
I am pretty stinking happy :blush:

I am very thamkful that my fellow officer:police:and dear friend is doing ok after getting struck by lightining tonight he is still in the burn icu but he is awake and fussing .. :praying: He also has a gash on the back of his head from where he fell and I am still covered in his blood we got to him quick and I stablized his head did not realize I was covered because I was also soaked to the bone from the rain all I could do washold him and tell him help was coming :vigil: I am just glad he is ok and he should recover :police:

Really glad for your officer friend and you that things turned out so well. Sounds like you kept a cool head which means you were even better abled to be there for him. He is fortunate to have you.

Wow! What a story! Thanks for sharing with us.
:)

Family, friends and prayer in times of duress.

This community, and I am thankful that Gaige and I will be with some of you soon in Little Rock!!!

A friend making sure I had my meds, making a special trip to get my hot n sour soup, and 3 boxes of tissues.

Baked apples

a quiet day resting with my pup. No wonder he made such a wonderful therapy dog. He knows when you're not feeling good.

I'm thankful for a sleepy voice on the phone that said, all in a rush, "I had a dream that you didn't know how much I appreciate you and how important you are to me. I woke up feeling scared that it was true and I had to call you before you left for your run. Is that stupid? Please don't think it's stupid."

I'm thankful for the happiness in my heart and the big, dumb grin on my face.

I'm thankful for finding this website and for being welcomed by the people who've offered support and advice (and taught me how to post a picture). Posting here gives me an opportunity to sort out my thoughts in a way I haven't been familiar with in the past and I'm finding it surprisingly effective. I sometimes felt a bit silly having such a school kid crush but as time goes on I feel more and more as if I'm really going somewhere with this woman. It's kind of a relief to be able to sort out the new experience here before doing it with face to face friends. My oldest friends (a husband and wife) have been extremely encouraging and supportive but we're all busy people and don't see one another as often as I'd like. Being able to chat with new friends here has been a real pleasure.

I'm thankful, as a transman, for being welcomed here. There was zero acceptance for transpeople when I transitioned in my 20's. It was harder for transwomen (still is IMHO) but transguys had it rough too. Most of us had to make things up as we went along and hope it wouldn't get us killed, or worse. I can remember getting my first T illegally in Tijuana. Everyone knew at least one guy who died of heart failure because no one could (or would) provide the right info about dosage. 25+ years later it never ceases to amaze me that I'm living in the opposite end of that world. My hat's off to the moderators and admins who make this website, and others like it, possible.

Thank-You to that beggar I always cuss at, who bothers me at the gas station, because he wasn't nowhere near as mean to me today, when I needed to beg him for something. Karma is a B****!:(!

I'm thankful for a wonderful weekend with chosen family I've spent too much time away from in the past few years. I don't plan to stay away that long again!

I'm grateful for everyday of my life where I live in a safe place surrounded by family and friends. I'm grateful for my writing business, which continues to grow. I'm grateful for my spirituality and my Reiki.
