I am thankful for Jesus because of Him I know where my babies are and where I am going someday - to be with them.
AND
For my little daughter - my wild cherry lifesaver - she is an awesome gift from God.
 
I am thankful for God, my husband, daughter, son, home, yard, everything growing and living and those birds that come to our bird feeders, eat, communicate with their fellow birds, fly, chirp and make such incredible bird music. I am thankful for the beautiful, red cardinal and its mate that stops by from time to time to eat. I am thankful to my God mother who has been so kind to our whole family, as well as, thankful to my sister-in-law for her kindness and willingness to begin instructing my daughter on the piano.

Hope
 
What are you thankful for - Giving Thanks for Family

I am feeling blessed (it's been awhile) and I am so grateful.

Here's what happened... It was my guy's (common-law) Dad's birthday yesterday and we were hosting the family BBQ. I have a broken leg and the doctor prescribed a new pain med which totally did a number on my stomach. I couldn't help at all with the cooking, and had to spend the party in bed with a bucket by my side because nothing would stay down.

One by one, his family came in to say hello and that they missed me at the party, his parents gave me big kisses and make me laugh too. The kids jumped on the bed and had to sign my cast, they were so sweet. When everyone left, I cried from their care and kindness, and amazingly felt a lot better. I am not taking those pain meds anymore, but something less strong and it is working ok. Rather have a little pain than chucking all day! lol.

Thankful for the love of family.

I am creating a place of safety within myself
I am not powerless anymore

I´m thankful for my supportive family - my little grandsons hugs warms my heart.

And - I have not had a nigthmare for two weeks now! So I´m thankful for my good nights too.
 
I wanted to bring to light the little things in our lives that give us hope, or help us to cope for just 5 more minutes. When the going gets rough, reflect back, and hopefully bring a smile to your heart once again....

It could be anything.......

Just anything that touches your heart....Please share them with us all.

:rolleyes: While I was landscaping outside for hrs. on end, my husb. called to me, "I made you a bowl of Ramon Noodle."

:smile: Last night while my daughter and I were returning her friend home after a long playdate, both girls were all sharing with one another about scary imaginary creatures outside coming after them, they were gigging, smiling, chatting away excitably, grabbing onto each other and giving one another big hugs, skipping & running upon arrival at friends return home and calling up goodbye's and goodnights to one another from sidewalk to 2nd flr. condo. The two of them really had an awesome time together again yesterday and have been friends since Kindergarten.

:wink: Recently I was in a small conversation with an 8 yr. old who was explaining to me that her lungs were permantly damanged at age 5, due to the selfishness of her grandmother and grammy's refusal to step outside to smoke. In my attempt to ask if her father had been a smoker then too, her first statement was she didn't have a father. We started talking about biological and DNA and I found myself asking her, "Do you know what DNA is?" And, she replied, yes spit. (lots-of-smiles)

:thumbs-up Lately, there has been a fellow in AA meetings openly sharing much of his positive experience, strength and hope and introducing discussion of topics of Alcoholism and "There is A Solution", within meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous. Amazing, and medicinal and truly touches my heart bc discussing strength, hope and solutions in this area AA is risky and neither generally the acceptable norm, common or popular. :clap:
 
Thanks Herc... I am grateful that it's Sat. I am even more grateful that Sunday is my first day off in 13 days.....UGH!!!!!!!!
 
:smile: I am happy to have found the time to finally remove a large rectagular area of grass from around our Roses of Sharon bushes, and will be all the happier once I lay down the necessary cover and rocks to prevent weeds and any regrowth. I am thankful to have such two unusual bushes which both started out all blue and are now a mix and combo. of many wht., purp. and blue flowers.

I am grateful for hardwork, process, such agony at times, and growth when it blooms.

And, I am forever grateful for peaceful sleep when it's time.
