What Are You Thankful For?

[2notbedefeated]

My husband found a job where he actually works 9 to 5. Previous job he was always "on call" and sooooooo preoccupied with work and the demands of others at work. We can actually start having a life again after 5 years of hell with his previous job'

My hubby and I had a "date night" and we hadn't had one in several months. As long as I dont have to drive in it - the pretty white snowflakes that fall. Last couple of years we had very little to no snow.

The support, guidance and courage I have received here on this forum. Thank you all :)

I am thankful for for my husband, and the fact that he has drug benefits.

I got prescribed a medication that was $345.59!!! For one freakin' bottle!

I would never have been able to afford that.. It's robbery as far as I am concerned.

Especially since it is a vital medication.

I am also thankful for all the people who lent me their support and advice last night.

Thank you all so much.

That's amazing about your dog Fin. Quite a heroic animal. But you are not hopeless, hun. I know it might feel that way, but slow and sure things can and will improve. You just gotta find what works for you.

I'm thankful for:

A roof over my head.

Food to eat.

Running water, electricity, warmth, and a comfy soft bed.

My family (daughter, son-in-law, grandsons, and husband).

My friends (you know who you are!)

Insurance coverage, and $$ to go to the dr when I need to.

All the veterans of war, and policemen and firefighters, who sacrifice "normalcy" to protect me and mine.

All of the wonderful people on this forum who jump in and offer support when needed.

Thanks for reviving this thread. I need to remind myself how good I DO have it, instead of focusing on the bad things.

Hugs to all of you this Holiday Season!
