Count Our Blessings

[wildrose70]

My best friend has a *bitching thread*...I finally decided that it was time for another thread.....there are so many people on lit going thru so many things in their lives......but on the other hand....it's time to look at the good things in our lives too...

I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people I have met and become friends with since I first came to lit....they have helped me thru so much......I just wanted to take this time to count my blessings this morning and say thanks to all of you....each day gives us a new chance....it's up to us what we do with it....

My family on lit is as precious to me.....as my real life family

 

[wildrose70]

I know it's early....but someone must be counting their blessings...just to wake up to a new day....a new beginning

I'm counting mine Momma...my beautiful little girl, my family, my job...which I love. My life isn't perfect but I have it better than most.

Here on Lit....there are some really special people....too many to name. Top of the list....Slick, Bear, middlestump, Rosy, barn, Silky, ABM, and you Momma. Hugssss to all here....

Good thread Momma. I am thankful that me and my son have good health, we have a house to live in, it needs lots of work and isn't anything fancy, but nevertheless it is a roof over our head, I have a job I hate, but at least I have a job in this time when some many ppl are losing theirs. It pays pretty well and I have insurance, etc. I have a car I love. I have met many great ppl here, including the love of my life, whom I hope will have for the rest of my life. I have my r/l family and the one here. I am able to pay my bills, most of the time, lol. And like you said earlier thankful that I was able to wake up this morning to another day.

((((((((((MOMMA))))))))))) and ((((((((((ALL MY LIT FRIENDS))))))))))

I just started aqua sizing so i am very thankful for a friend leading me to that. I am blessed in different ways, I am blessed with great doctors and insurance to help us, and blessed that my husband has a good job. And although I pick on him i am blessed knowing alwaysawake and sweet baby lee for making me laugh when i don't wanna...everyone is great here...im blessed for knowing you too momma...ty... x 100

 

[wildrose70]

And I am blessed for finding you and hearing all you had to say...and BTW I did talk to bobber on the phone today...I was going to leave him a message and happened to catch him...so now he knows I'm here for him....he said he just needs some time
I'm blessed with knowing Barn and Knight ....they keep me up when I wanna be down....they wont let me....
I guess we can always find someone that has more to carry than we do.....
I'm very thankful for all the wonderful people I have met on lit so far....

OK, I'll join in, maybe that'll help keep me focused on some good things while I'm treading water trying to get through some challenging times.

I'm thankful for my 3 little girls, they mean so much to me.

My family for trying to be understanding and supportive of me now.

A very special person who's been like a brother to me through some of the worst times of my life the last 2 years.

My next door neighbor & very very special friend who's shown me what it really means to care about someone.

I'm thankful I have a home, even though I often feel I don't deserve it.

And, Wildrose, I'm thankful to you for starting this thread!!!

TY Momma for this thread. I'm counting my blessings now...last week my Dad collapsed while eating dinner. He fell, banging his head hard. After a series of tests they gave him the all clear yesterday.

I guess you learn real fast what is really important....that night in the hospital watching his heart monitor I found out. Material things are great but it is family and friends that really matter.

 

[BellaBloodAngel]

I didn't realize how negatively I've been thinking as of late. I ran into your thread Wildrose and it made me stop and count my blessings. Thank you!

My kids are happy and healthy and I guess that's all that really matters when it comes right down to it. Whatever else has been going on, we'll get through it.

Have a good day ya'll

Thought I might offer a rhyme I did for my rhyming thread. Thought it was appropriate for yours.

Tuesdays gone and Wednesdays here
and Fridays looming ever near
I notice we wish our lives away
Instead of living for only today

So if I live in only this moment
what would be it's best component?
I am loved by many, full and strong,
I have a place in their hearts where I truly belong

I have my angels protection, they guide my way
and a new client for therapy begining today
I have food on the table a little money to spend
A daughter I'm proud of, what a good place to end.

That's very beautiful Ginger...I'm afraid I've been neglectful of your rhyming thread due to lack of time and creativity lately. I hope to get back to it real soon.

 

[wildrose70]

Good morning all....such wonderful responses......I went thru a lot of ups and downs last week and decided it's time to look for the silver lining hidden among the dark clouds...
I'm grateful for all of you that posted...and the poem from Ginger was so beautiful.....it's a new day...a new begining....and even thou it sometimes seems like life is giving us to much to bare....we think of others that have so much more to handle and realize there is always someone more needy than us.....
Truly each day is a gift.....ours alone....take it and make the best of it....

I count myself truly blessed with the amazing and wonderful friends I have made on Lit...
have a wonderful day......

 

[omahaman2]

one special part of my life i have to be thankful for is all of you.
Everyone here at LIT has touched me in a special way, different ways from different people, from making me laugh,making me think,giving me support through hard times and encouragement through good to touching my heart either through friendship or
through the love of my soulmate i found here.
The other thing i feel grateful for is this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all of you here.

 

[wildrose70]

I hear you omahaman....it's been a wonderful experience being on lit....at first I thought...Mmmmmmmmmmmm mostly sex on here...but I have learned so much more......making so many wonderful friends....and caring for them and getting back love,comfort and support thru whatever trials life holds.....
And I know one thing in particular that makes you count your blessings every day
Your one of the lucky ones...finding the right person to share your life with.......
