I am thankful that I'm done with school for the week and now I can take an afternoon nap

I found out last night that my health is good AND I lost 13 lbs.

Today is payday.

i'm thankful for the kindness of strangers, lately i've had a few people i don't even know help me, and it's been a blessing!

The fact I'm alive I guess, and healthy, with function of all 5 of my limbs.

The fact I have friends all over the world.

Michael Jackson's/Jackson 5's music (music in general)

My wonderful family.

My friends

a dear friend of almost 20 yrs called me a few days ago to tell me she has cancer, has to have full hysterectomy and she & her bf won't be able to start the family they were planning on trying to start next year (her sister offered to be surrogate & carry, but.. the surgery is scheduled in a couple of weeks and there isn't time [or $$$] to harvest her eggs).

All I care about is that she's here.. you know? That all of my friends are here, alive.

A wonderful friend!!!

I am thankful for my wonderful friends today too . I don't know what I would do without them.

The fact that I slept for 12 hours straight without anyone trying to wake me up

Sorry for not getting back at you, but life has been crazy in the last days/weeks .

That I am still keeping my nervous breakdown at bay.

Alive is good.

I'm alive, sober, I feel great and I'm not constipated

Alive is good.

I am thankful that, after three tries (and four trips to various hardware megastores), I finally have a showerhead I like. Sweetie's thankful, too - because he was the one putting all of them up.

I am also thankful that it's Friday - and that tomorrow will be warm enough that I have a 1:22 tee time (first round of the season). Also, that we're supposed to get some pretty good thunderstorms on Sunday - so I may have a chance to file my first report as an official weather spotter.

Elastic Waists.

Congratulations on the Doctorate/PhD! Very inspiring and encouraging (I have my own Master's defense this Thursday!).

I hope you can now start recovering from your 8 years of study/hard work!

Everybody's got something to be thankful for.

So spill it!

thankful for another day!

Patience.

My wife's pissed me off something chronic today, but I have to be in control, step back and see what's best for us and have the patience to deal with it without letting my pride make me lash out because I've been wronged and try to get some kind of moral satisfaction/vengeance. I'm thankful today for the patience not to do that, but instead do what I think is ultimately for the best in the long run.

Also thankful I didn't feel like having a beer today. I'll have a good workout tomorrow morning.

It certainly isn't.

I'm thankful that I have such great relationships my stepchildren. My stepson was home for the weekend and asked if he could move back in with us while he finishes his last year of college, starting in the fall. He will move back this summer so he will be able to help hubby with farming, etc. He's a hard working kid and a small town boy at heart. We're thrilled
