What are you thankful for?

[rikaaim]

Okay, I'm starting a positive reinforcement thread. You can only post here with something positive. I don't care if your pissed, post something that you are thankful for. Start looking at what you DO have in life, and not what you don't. Even if it's small.

I'm thankful that I'm still breathing. I'm thankful I have friends like everyone here in the AH. I'm thankful I have food to eat. I'm thankful I have hope for my broken family. I'm thankful for a lot. I'm thankful I have my job, as much as I hate it it still puts food on the table and keeps the roof over my head. I'm thankful I have a wife that puts up with me. I thankful I write. I'm thankful I have a future that looks bright.

Your turn...

I'm thankful for my family -

My husband, my kids - my parents, my sister, my extended family -

AND that we'll all be able to see each other during the holidays.

Everything else is secondary to that -

Same thing I'm always thankful for:

That I'm still alive, that I can still feel the wind when it blows past, that I can smell the burning wood of a fire, that I can still think and dream and write, that I exist and am existing in this moment.

"Every day above ground is a good day."

I'm thankful for that phrase, for all my great friends past and present, and for the acceptance of my family after all these years. I'm thankful for my BF and our pets, and my health, because that's something no money can buy.

I'm thankful for so much. Some days I feel like one of the luckiest people alive, in fact, I think I am!

I'm thankful for my health, my love, my energy, my life, amazing sex, my family, my friends, my dog, my cats, my house, my car, my ability to write and express myself. Most of all I am thankful for my children - my two beautiful girls.

I'm thankful for being thankful. I'm thankful that I can appreciate the simple things in life. The fluff in the coulds, the sublte blue hue in the sky. I'm thankful that life is a drama. It's never boring that way. I'm thankful people are being thankful on my thread. I want to try and get some positive thinking in the lives of the AH Litsters. I know we can't be happy all the time, but if we look at the small things first, we can begin to look at the big things, and realize, "Hey, it's not so bad afterall."

Thank you everybody.

I'm thankful for my daughter.


Without her, I truly believe that I would not be here anymore. To wake every morning and hate things so much and then to look at her beautiful face, I know why she was given to me.

You're very blessed and so is she.

My mom's told me that without my brother and I she wouldn't be around. I'm thankful she is! I'm thankful I had such good people for parents, even if sometimes they weren't perfect parents. I'm thankful they encouraged me in my creative pursuits and taught me that happiness comes from within.
