I love this thread. It has been awhile since I have expressed my gratitude, for anything. Not that I have been ungrateful just not out there with my gratitude. I am grateful for so many things. This thread, which I think I will make a daily thing to find at least one thing, no matter how bad a day I may be having, to write down one thing I am grateful for . I am very grateful for my family, whom I love so much, and are growing so fast. For my pets, who give me both exercise and entertainment . And for my friends who give me so much love, caring and support whenever I need it. Speaking of friends I better go get in the shower, because I am supposed to be going for coffee with a friend and she is going to be wondering where I am. You'all take care and will check in tomorrow.

Lizziness-I know what you mean. If mine doesn't go away I may ask about getting it out anyway. It is close to the surface so it shouldn't be THAT big a deal.

Hi, just stopping in to say I'm super-grateful for my fabulous, weird, bald, goofy, stunningly intelligent, freak-puppy of a husband.

He's been marvelously supportive this last month or so while I'm on this diet and the sometimes obsessive or whacked out way I'm behaving while on it. This last week he's gone above and beyond to remind me about exercise, to cheer with me when I'm doing well, and to come tell me how happy he is that I'm taking better care of myself. Thanks, my love, it really, really helps.

Solarmama - loves that Solarpapa!

solar - you are so lucky. even the most wonderful of boys aren't always very supportive. lucky girl!

i am grateful that my family is online now, it took long enough for them to get set up with a phone and internet. So now I can email them and talk to them which is very good for me. Hopefully my mood will impove now too.

I'm grateful to God for keeping care of my sweet DH. He was in a car accident the other day, and it could have been so much worse. He and the other driver are fine, although both cars are in rough shape.

Oh my goodness Ellis,
Please wish him well and a speedy recovery ! Yes , you must be very thankful for that! To come so close to losing someone so dear to your heart. Keep us informed of how he makes out.
I am truely thankful that as of 10:35 pm last night Jan 13th, 2005, I have one full smoke free week in, and God seems to be making my craving less intense and a lot further apart.
Hugs to you all!
Virginia

Sorry to hear about your DH's accident ellis, thank goodness that no one was hurt!

I am happy and grateful to have spent yesterday evening with two very good, gracious and giving friends.

Thanks Virginia and Mauvais.
This is terrible, but it was to be my first day alone in over a month, and as soon as I knew my DH was alright, I thought, "But this was to be my day off!!" And promptly burst into tears.

Today, I'm happy and grateful for this, my first, day alone. (I HOPE!)
And I'm grateful to have this place to come to with the many friends I've made here. You're all such wonderful women, and I'm blessed to know you.

The feeling is mutual sweetie! Enjoy your day!
Virginia

ellis: Right back at ya babe!

I am so glad your DH is all right Ellis. It is very scary.

Ellis, Sweetie, I feel for you - I'm a worrier, and I can relate to how scary it can be when something like that happens. Gald to hear everyone is okay. (Maybe I'd better call home... my DH is running late....) kiddin'!

Happy weekend everyone!

Glad to hear that DH is okay, sweetie. What a scare!!

Thanks, Solar and Den.

Solar, I used to be a worrier, too, pre-meds. I used to get sick with worry when my DH was late coming home from work. It's a terrible habit, and so difficult to break.

I am happy and grateful that the "guy" emailed me today and told me I was beautiful!

I'll be floating the rest of the day now.

Tiki.
