I am thankful for you the girls, the human kids the Grandbabies all that life has to offer us.

I got some sort of kid carried creeping crud of a cold on Wednesday. It came up on me all at once at work, the whole 9 -fever, cough, body aches, misery.

I am so grateful that I am in a place now that I can take a day off with pay.
I am so grateful that I could afford to go the drug store and shop indulgently for cold related items, real Nyquil, trashy book, soda, hard candy for my throat, orange juice, box of kleenex, day time cold stuff for work. Then this weekend I rented a couple of movies, read my trashy book, binge watched shows on netflix while on cold drugs, slept like 19 hours a day.

I am grateful that I had the ways and means to take care of myself when I was sick, to nuture myself and yes, even baby myself. I am so grateful for where I am in my life right now. I think I am starting to feel a little safe after living on the dire edge for a really long time. Fuckin' phew.

my family....they love me no matter what..

I absolutely agree, and as I age I find the importance of family increases.

Life isn't so bad after all, I guess.
 

1. My health is good.
2. My sense of humor always gets me through a bad day.
3. I have my wits about me yet.
4. I have a roof over my head; and a pretty nice one at that.
5. I have some of the best friends in the world; I just wish they lived closer.
6. Year-round sunshine!
7. The ocean and the salt-air filled with negative ions to recharge my spirit when I feel down.
8. Orange trees!
9. A permanent job so I no longer have to worry about that. If I want to leave it, all I need to do is find another one to replace it first.
10. Two weeks off in December - they happen to have a pretty nice vacation policy which is a definite plus!

And a bonus blessing (because I'm feeling better already!) -

11. A convertible to drive with the sunshine on my face and the wind in my hair.

And now I owe one more blessing to make up for the last complaint
 

12. As the weather cools down, I am thankful for the balmy breeze through my open window and the refreshing, cool drinking water I am enjoying right now.

I am thankful for this moon pie I am about to partake in.

I am thankful for my life's experiences which has brought me to a place that I can readily see what I am worth and that I can also see when someone else see's and respects that worth.

Thankful
 

I have many things to be thankful for these days.

I am thankful that I still have my mother with me. I am thankful that I am still pretty healthy despite myself. I am thankful for all of my friends that love and support me. I am thankful for all the second chances I have had.

These days I am very thankful that I met the woman of my dreams right here on BFP. I am happier than I have been in decades and I am excited about our future.

Praise be to God, Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 12:12,11~ And when they bring you unto the synagoges, and unto the magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what things ye shall answer, or what ye shall say. For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say~

God bless you Diane Reidy!
