Thankful Thursday
I came across the Thankful Thursday concept in another blog (and I wish I could figure out how to attach a hyperlink in this program… maybe I can add that to my list of what to be thankful for :) so since I can’t, I’ll just put her address: http://anotherchanceranch.typepad.com/another_chance_ranch/2008/01/the-beginning-o.html ) and I thought “absolutely, I’ll hop on board!” I think we all need a reminder every now and then to stop, smell the roses and reflect on what we have in life that we are truly thankful for.
I know this was suppose to be the quickened version
Things have been pretty rough in our household for the last few months because of my continued illness. I am very thankful that we have health insurance, that, while I’ve gone through a lot of pain, suffering, frustration and misery with this, we know it’s NOT cancer, it’s not something I’m going to die from. I’m thankful that I found a doctor that was finally able to diagnose the problem, and I’m thankful that there is a path forward to heal me. I’m thankful for the surgery I’m about to have in a few hours.
Even more so, I’m so incredibly thankful to have such an understanding, helpful and caring husband. He hasn’t always been this way, which is why I’m all the more thankful for everything he has done to help me through all of this. He has really grown into a man that I truly respect, love and adore. I’m thankful for my daughter. There are so many wonderful things about her that I’m thankful for that I could write a novel, so I will suffice to say I’m thankful for her as a whole. I’m thankful for all of my family, who always show their support. I imagine that is a job, in and of itself some times!
I love you all and am very happy each and every one of you are in my life!
