I am thankful for all of my forum friends here. I really appreciate the help, support, and encouragement and companionship here.:)

Greatful that a friend was able to give me a ride so that I could vote yesterday. I had sent in my absentee ballot, but was unable to have it counted in because I had not gotten a witness to sign my envelope under my signiture. This was needed in order for it to be counted. SOOooo... I got up the courage to call a friend and ask her for a ride to the polls, which are 12 miles from here. Thankfully she agreed AND she also took me Thriftstore shopping and out for lunch! Great day.

I'm thankful I went out with H on Friday night.

I am grateful that I have a mind and a heart. I can think and I can feel. I am reasonable. I try to use the common sense approach to life.

A new friend. Her name is Nancy. I met her at church and we have quite a few things in common. We both are widows for instance. Thank You, Lord!

My daughter's Down syndrome: it changed my whole perspective on life. I no longer worry about being the smartest person in the room. I want to be just like my daughter and be the kindest.

I am thankful for my husband. I love him so much. I am so glad he is in my life.

I'm thankful to my 13 year old son who texted me during his study hall to ask how I was doing, what I was up to. He usually asks me every day. He's a good boy!

I'm thankful for my Service Dog who helps me with so many medical conditions:

Warns me of an impending (or tells me I am having a heart episode for which I need to sit down or lay down if possible).

She stays by my side in panic attacks or even does things like lean into me, rub up against me to remind me not to worry.

She lessens the height of panic attacks with her presence and the above.

She prays (this may sound weird, but I got a photo of her once holding her front paws together while standing up on her hind feet!).

She sleeps with me (or in her bed next to me when I am not as rattled), she definitely knows when I am upset, not feeling well, grouchy, or etc.

She reminds me to take my meds...

There's more, but my memory fails me as to all of it as I am rattled at the moment!

I'm thankful for all the folks in my behavioral therapy group who have good experiences to share where they came out ahead and bested the situation and also who ask good questions of our leader when something in our written materials is confusing. I'm thankful too, for the leader of the group who is gentle and whose voice is calm and yet directive in a pleasant and easygoing kind of way. And of course I'm thankful to God for giving me all these wonderful people and the materials we study!
