What are you thankful for?

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I am (again) reminded of so many things to be thankful for on this Monday morning..... 1.  I am thankful for the two weeks that we got to spend with Mike being home.  Yes, it sucked saying goodbye again.  More than words can express- but the silver lining of all of this is that he is now on his "homestretch" (as it were) to come back home for good.  About 6 more months, I know that I can do it and it will be tough at times (especially with summer coming up) but, I DO know that I have tons of support from my friends, family,  and all of you great people here.  2.  Speaking of those great friends....I am thankful for Lynnie , Janine , and my secret pal  for making special shout outs to me and filling up my support page with love. It was a pleasant surprise to come home to a email box full of love from all of you wonderful people here.   3.  I am ever so blessed to have such wonderful, caring children.  The last time Mike left, I would play that Fergie song "Big Girls Don't Cry" allllll the time and just cry to it.  Last night, my little guy (4 years old) saw me crying and said "mommy, remember...Big girls don't cry, so be happy."  Of course, that got me going even MORE.  lol 4.  I am thankful that my kids wanted to go to school today.  It really helps to keep the normalcy around here. Okay, I know that there are tons of things for people to be thankful for- people got dates, some folks are expecting bambino's, some got approval....etc.  So, please share what YOU are thankful for~ if not publicly, then take the time privately to remember. Have a wonderful day and you will be seeing more of me around here now.  lol Probably going to make you all sick of me!  ha!

I have a lot to be thankful for this morning. 

One, I a live, and still above ground. That is one of the best things ever.

Two. I have very good friends that love me just the way I am, they have no problem with all my trouble/problems.

Three.  I have a job, that I love.  even if I hate the hours, and I am darn good at it. It does pay the bills. LOL

Thank you for posting form

Before anyone thinks I am forgetting things. I am very thankful for my dr and all he has giving me. But my higher power is the one that showed me that path.

Good morning Vicki. =) I am thank ful for my faith in God, with that I can get through anything. I am thankful for Vicki and her strength. She shows what real strength and grace is. Wish we all could find ours. I am thankful for our military men and women (Past, Present & Future) and for their sacrifices to keep our county free. Freedom isn't free, it comes at a price. So if you can't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them. I am thankful to be alive and to be able to have WLS. I know I will be a better person for it. Hopefully I will get the call this week with a date. I am thankful for my friends on OH and all the support that I have received from them.
