What about the Positives

[Scottietottie]

Hi 

I was taken with the TRUE/FALSE thread so I thought I'd try to start a positive thread off too. What sort of things are you thankful for?

I'm thankful that I don't live in a third world country and that I have access to medical facilities because so many people in the world don't.

I'm thankful that I don't live anywhere that is likely to have wild fires or floods.

I'm thankful that even SjS brought me something good. Friends across the seas that I would never have met otherwise.

I could go on - but i'd rather someone else did!

I like this thread. I sometimes wonder if we cant get a little too caught up in whats wrong, missing the positives.

Im thankful for my wonderful husband and his understanding me so well.

Im thankful for this forum and the wonderful people that give their time so tirelessly to people like me who mostly seem confused and a little bit lost.

I am thankful I have a husband who will cook, even if he won't do the dishes.

I am thankful I have a healthy, vibrant child.

I am thankful that we live in a good school system for my son.

And on the less serious side, I am thankful for my DVR. I love being able to pause tv and watch shows when I want.

Also very thankful for internet access.

[Billydude]

Oh yes Maderaska.....I agree.   My DVR has been a live and stress changer.

I'm thankful for life...and all the good people I am fortunate enough to share it with.  And of course the dogs and the bird

I'm thankful that I can still walk around. (Going up stairs is a different story). 

I am thankful for my husband who makes me laugh when I feel like I will never do it again.

I am thankful for all the supportive people in my life, including everyone here.

I am thankful I'm still strong enough to go into the prisons and visit with the inmates, many of whom have taught me a lot about having a positive attitude, about generosity, about turning your life around.

I am thankful for all the flowers and birds in my garden. Being out there makes me feel like I'm surrounded by real riches.

I am thankful for my husband, my daughter, my son, my sister - all of them have dealt with major issues in their lives with grace and patience and humor and I'm so fortunate to have them in my family.
