5 Things your are thankful for

[hopsing94]

So I was sitting here thinking of what i'm thankful this year and I could think of several but here are my top 5.
1. I'm most thankful for my wife and kids and being apart of their lives
      (almost lost them earlier this year)
2. I'm thankful I have a job still
3. I'm thankful I live in a country where I can still worship the God of my choice
4. I'm thankful for my health, maybe not the best right now but I'm still in pretty good shape
5. I'm thankful for the abilities God has given me

I'm also thankful for all my friends, here at medhelp and here where I live. Happy Thanksgiving everybody

Happy Thankgiving to everyone!  I am thankful for seeing another day, my job, my sense of humor, able to pay the bills that matter most (lights, gas, rent), and for being a sincere person.

In our family we have to share (around the table) the ONE thing we are most grateful for during the past 11 months,  and it has to be very original or you get shamed into another confession.  (all with love and laughter)

So  I am thrilled to be able to list 5.........  I already did the 3  Thankfuls on the other post  and they are the same   Family,  Friends, Health     but can I add my two more?   Absolutely I am so gratelful to be born in the great northwest of the US,  and to have been raised by two parents  wrong, right , or indifferent, tried to the best of their ability,  (and I think alot of it was wrong  lol)  to take care of their children and give us all they had,  not material,  but A LOT   of love...........  I miss you both soo  much.  But your children's hearts are whole,  just as you wanted.  PS  and NO I am not cooking  hense your other children being so happy!   :)


Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving has always been such an eye-opener for me, there are MANY times I sit and get all worked up and down on myself and I really loose sight of all the good things in my life, the positives that I should be nothing but thankful for.. so {{THANK YOU}} for posting this. =) I think it will be a good reminder right now for me (considering the awful mood I'm in =P) To list the things I am thankful for.. it's so easy to forget that no matter how bad things may seem, or get.. there are still certain things we will always be able to sit and appreciate/ be thankful for that we should give a little more recognition to even when it isn't being in part of "the holiday spirit" =P

My list of things I am Thankful for right now at this very moment:
{{1}} My gorgeous son, the fact that he is a healthy strong smart child with the ability to touch and bring smiles to everyone he encounters. I am thankful for the closeness and bond we share as mother and son, and that he is such a wonderful part of my life there to keep me going EVERYDAY, even when I feel like giving up. =P He IS my angel.
{{2}} My health, minus the occasional and excruciating bouts of pain I may endure, I would be selfish to not realize health-wise, it could be far much worse..
{{3}} The fact that I found this site, without it, I don't think I would have the support and encouragement I need to be motivated to start making the changes I need to make not only for myself, but my son as well.
{{4}} This one is quite a backhanded thankfulness lol but thankfulness all the same =P I am thankful that I was blessed with the huge heart that I have, it has caused me problems in the past, and run me ragged because I want to save the world and try to take care of everyone I come in contact with, but without it, I wouldn't be me, the me I actually like, not the one I put down all the time. There aren't many people left out there willing to do whatever it takes to be the one to care for the people they know, who without my help would have no one. I am Thankful that I have the ability to go out and literally save these people from having to do everything on their own when they just aren't able anymore- even if it takes it's tole on me..
{{5}} I am Thankful that I am not homeless, that I am not facing poverty, that I always have food on the table, that I am able to spoil my son and not feel horrible about it or be hurt financially from it.. I am thankful that I have so much more than ALOT of people and I can appreciate that.

And I know that I was only supposed to list 5, but I am also thankful that you posted this and reminded me, maybe I just need to take a breather and enjoy tonight and tomorrow and stop stressing about everything that isn't perfect. Thinking about all the situations I could be in, how much worse things could be, humbles me and puts me in much better of a mood. ;)
