Eep! All is well, I hope?

Today, I am grateful that my brother-in-law has been moved from ICU to the heart wing of the hospital. :thumbsup:

People who appreciate all you do... and let you know about it. :)

My son and being able to get to know him as he gets to know me..... it was a very long 11 years.

A husband that can kick my ass out of stress-mode.
Now I can be grateful for the weekend. :)

Peace and quiet.

That my cold seems to be fading

That my baby is kicking like crazy inside of me as I sit here typing.....

Da Bears going 3 and 0. :D

I'm grateful for helping a buddy move in and having a few beers afterwards

My ability to talk my partner into talking himself out of buying that $3500 pre amp.:p

Water, and vitamin C.

Today I am grateful for the TFP.

Today I'm grateful for the nice woman at the bus stop. Not only was she very cute, but she helped me pick up my stuff when my bag flipped upside down and everything went flying. Without her, I would have missed the bus.

It's nice to know that some people are still nice and will even pick up tampons and deodrant that don't belong to them as they roll into the street. :lol:

baby pictures of my kids. I'm glad I took the time to take them. My kids asked to see them last night, and we had a good time looking at all of them and talking about good memories.

Water, and vitamin C.

working at a job that I love

Today, I'm grateful for a slow and easy day. That doesn't happen very often on a Friday and my body couldn't handle one if it was typically busy.

Friends who pushed me to finally do what I needed to be happy. :)

i'm sticking with Advil

The strength of the bond between my gf and I.

Old friends, a new job I love, good medical care, a car that runs well, and beautiful weather.

(And a great thread)

Motrin and the ability to bite my tongue!

^^^ Your avatar is proof of that ability. :)

I'm grateful for the invitation to see Paul Simon live. He put on a great show.

Food! Processed food goodness. It is a definite day for quick comfort food. So, yes, I love my Chef Boyardee raviolis, Swedish fish, velveeta cheese dip, Tostitos, and Cherry Coke. :) And of course cake..can't forget the cake.

For those who turned the idea into a great thread and kept it simple..... and for my sanity.

An unexpected '93 Ford Aerostar.

A surprise phone call from a friend serving in Iraq. I hadn't heard from him in a little bit and was getting a little worried.

That I am not in school anymore.

Today I am thankful for....
 

Living in a nation where little girls are able to even go to school, unlike other nations in this world.

Today I'm grateful for Albuterol, my asthma medicine. Without it, I would have died long ago.

TAKE THAT, NATURAL SELECTION!!!

Smirnoff...

A much needed break, even if there is not alcohol with which to celebrate. I shall remedy that shortly.

I am grateful I have a job I love, my health, a great son and am seeing Alice Cooper Sunday 7th row

Tylenol PM and a day off

life, having a job I love and remembering where I came from and how far I have come, but most of all, Lady Sage..... whom can be the most loving caring woman I have ever met.

For somebody who left a bag of cheetos on the counter...

grateful for still being alive, my family being here for me no matter what.

friends who are safe and sound

alka seltzer plus cold medicine

aaaaah choooo

*Passes mal the kleenex*

I woke up.

Flannel sheets, blankets, and a warm body to snuggle up to.

And possibly snow in October...I know it's beautiful, but why does it have to be so cold?

my ss check....:thumbsup:

Suprise visits from friends to turn an ultracrappy day into many smiles and laughs. :)

that I am able to forgive myself finally.

sweetpea

The beautiful weather today, my great sounding Tacoma, and I went almost an entire day without thinking about work.

...pumpkin pie.

I live overseas and its been 7 years since I enjoyed it. I bought a whole one today (plus whip cream of course) and it is half finished. My stomach is a bit sore but definately worth it. Mmmmmm....nice.

A lazy Sunday curled up on the couch cuddling finally feeling life settle around me.

*Curls up with Shesus and a couple cats on the couch and produces 2 cups of tea*

Knowing I have friends who love me. :)

A Sunday off with nothing to do and sitting at my computer watching A-ha on YouTube.

today i am grateful that i am not selfish enough to kill myself

Today I am grateful for the Ignore button :)

Cryin shame it wont work in real life! :lol:

getting second chances to do things right the first time.

Having the time to be able to stay home from work today and wait for the plumber.

A gorgeous Florida day at 53 degrees fahrenheit. Oh blessed autumn!

Our first cool day of the year!!

Pan, without his support I would have long since gone insane!

Autumn. I love walking through crunchy leaves and looking at the leaves on the trees that are changing colors. It's cold enough to bundle up in a coat and hat, but not so cold that you are miserable. Perfect. :)

Today Im grateful for the fact that my boyfriend is home from the hospital and that it was only a kidney stone and not a blocked bowel abcess (which could have been fatal)... even though hes still terribly sick, hes still here and Im so grateful for that! :D

Today I'm not particularly grateful for anything. My good karma has run out and my life is slowly going to pieces because I've been on a good streak for so long that I forgot how to deal with bullshit and stress. I guess I'm grateful for the fact that I can deal with my problems and not have to force them on others, and the knowledge that I managed to get through worse shit in the past, even if I don't know how I did it. It doesn't help that sympathy, no matter how sincere, seems patronizing rather than sympathetic.

It was kind of cool that a US congressional candidate invited me to a party today, though.

I'm grateful that it can get worse, but hasn't.

You're already there babe :icare: chose me as a fiancee didn't ya?

Today I am grateful for Lady Sage, she is my rock and steadies me. I'm also grateful for friends here on TFP that I sometimes don't tell how appreciated they are here...... Tec was/is one.... hopefully, he realizes how much he will be missed. And the many others, whom I hope know how I feel about them.

Knowledge in things others call frivolous.

Right turns on red.

Encrouching chill of Winter

Actually having an income that I can count on

Thursday....

a phone call and work :)

The power of a nap and knowing that Goddess willing Pan will be home safe with me in a little over 2 hours. :)

High beams in torrential rain.

Justice served to a con man.

PW and the nearness of Tampa.

The latest CAT scan confirmed it. My husband has been cancer free for one year today. :thumbsup:

The fact that TFP is back online. :)

Limewire so I dont have to hire a DJ

(Congrats Elphs hubby)
(Amen bruddah healer)

my friends.

sp

Pandora, so I never need mp3's.

that i can tfp again. cos yesterday was complete agony. and the feeling you get when you finish an assignment and you know you put your all and everything into it and you know you did a really good job.

I'm grateful to be in a terrific school with well-behaved adorable first graders and a supportive staff. And a possible job offer! :D

Both of my bosses on a plane for China to be gone for 9 days. Even though I like them both...Woo-hoo! Maybe now I can get some work done around here.

The ability to help friends.

The afterglow and everything that goes with it.

still having good friends, and being forgiven for all my mistakes.

another chance at making the best of my finals

The window in my office. And my tree. :)

The arrival of my MENSA membership card that gave me a much-needed ego boost and the crazy cookies in the cafeteria at the hospital that I swear either had crack or pot in them... so did a coworker.
It felt good to be silly.
And the feeling that I really could tell my ex to f*ck off today if I had to, and not be sorry.

I love those bursts of unexpected hilarity. I don't get them nearly as often since I stopped smoking pot. :p

Today I am grateful for having such a great aunt. she just makes me laugh and always feel good about myself and will help me out whenever needed.

Today, I am grateful for the lovely ladies in my ballet class.

Soul Food!

I earned an avatar today.

Mint M&Ms...it's that time of year again. :thumbsup:

egg nog, and a warm fire.

The elderly gentlemen that asked if he could sit with me in a crowded restaurant. I was alone, and he was more than welcome to. I told him that reminded me of Germany where it was a considered normal to do such, and we went on and on.

Now that is awesome.


I am grateful today for a new, non-leaking fridge and inner quiet.

Knowledge and ability.

A couple of hours of my own on a Saturday morning, after driving my mom to the hair dressers. Since my mom is suffering with dementia, it's often a hit and miss with Saturday time alone.... but for today's bit, I am grateful.

My screwdriver and an instruction booklet. I fixed my vacuum cleaner this morning! All by myselfs! Woo-hoo!

Today I am grateful for the internet. I would be very lonely without it (and all of you :icare:)

having enough money to pay a friend's extremely large bar tab without telling them it was me, and never planning on it, or expecting anything in return.

My brother's-in-law defibrilator and that he is once again out of intensive care.

today I am grateful that tomorrow is Saturday, and that means that at the horrible hour of 6 am all my kids will climb into my bed with me, and we will all get the chance to sit there in my bed and watch cartoons for an hour or so. It's my favorite Saturday tradition, even if it does mean waking up at 6am.

Today (everyday actually): friends, family, being granted the ability to do and think all those things that I take for granted, like sanity, walking, talking, hearing, seeing, feeling, touching..... etc.

I guess I am grateful for life and the life I have and live..... Lady Sage just adds that infinite amount of joy more to it.
