I am always thankful for what God has given me. But today I will express it.

1) I am thankful for my health(the good and the bad)

2)for my kids and family

3)for my ability to hang on even when school absolutely sucks.

4)for great friends.

5)for this place, it so helped save my life almost four years ago.

6)for Jesus forgiving me and saving me from myself.

7)the love a life

8)the ability to help others while healing myself

9)a good sense of humor

10)and you all in all your different stages of healing.

Be blessed, be a blessing and have a safe Thanksgiving.

That's right, today is the US Thanksgiving (we had our Cndn Thanksgiving already). But I like this thread and it`s good to appreciate what we have.

I am thankful for:

1. My smarts and determination to get it done (this got me through my graduate degree when I was sick as a dog)

2. I am thankful that I discovered my husband`s cheating because if I had not, I would have continued to be denied the opportunity to make an informed decision about MY life and his cheating would have continued to put my health and safety at risk

3. I am so very very greatful for this forum and the members. I was struggling for several months by myself with the awful burden on my husband`s betrayal and the hugeness of it all was too much for me. This forum saved me.

4. I am grateful for the time that I had with Chaser as he was instrumental in my healing. He is not the only member to reach out in a special and personal way -- I am thankful for all who did that.

5. I am thankful that I am brave - I don`t know where it comes from...maybe it`s the result of my upbringing....if so, thanks mom and dad.

6. I am thankful for my very good friend, T, who has helped my negotiate the last year of my life

7. I am thankful for beautiful fall days when I am not plagued by allergies

8. I am thankful for my dogs -- they are beautiful.

9. I am thankful that despite the stress of the last year, I managed to keep my hair and my sanity

10. I am thankful to have food in my belly and a roof over my head.

11. I am thankful that the pain of my husband`s betrayal did not use up my compassion or leave me bitter. My compassion is my humanity and it will get me through the dark days (along with all your support!).


Happy Thanksgiving, folks
