OK
so I have nothing really new and exciting to post
but
I thought I would start a thread of thankfulness

i used to like to do that

it helped me to remember even when I was frustrated

so
here goes

I am grateful for all my friends
near and far
old and new
they keep me grounded and remind me of the person I want to be

I am grateful for my family
and my renewed relationship with them
the remind me where I came from and how far I have journeyed

I am grateful for my children
they are love
in its true form
I am amazed and in wonder of them every day

I am grateful for Cori
who has put up with my issues
and who challenges me to be better
and
reminds me that I am big
even when I feel small

I am grateful for my job
because no matter how many headaches I get
I am good at what I do and I feel appreciated there

I am grateful I have a minivan (ugh)
because even though it isn't "cool" it gets my whole family everywhere we need to go

I am grateful for coffee
because it is coffee
and sometimes it is exactly what I need

I am grateful for the cold
because it makes my house feel warmer

I am grateful for the amazing docotrs
who take care of my tiny girl
and help me muddle through all the jargon

I am grateful for so many things
things I would have forgotten to see
things I may have never found
things I would have missed
were it not for coming through the fire
for being cleansed
and for finding the strength
to work on me
to decide who I wanted to be
and to work toward becoming that person

thank you to Cori and Lissie and Ian and Ozzie and AmyC and April and OT and Donna and Chappy and Whapu and Baseball Annie and FriendlyOne (and even Jack...ugh) and all the others who gave me the courage and advice and friendship and encouragement to be OK on my own...to be better than OK...to fly...who reminded me to stay on my course...that I was worth my own effort...that even if they didn't always agree with me, that it was OK to disagree...that I was strong enough on my own

that I was a gift
to me

I am grateful

[Gypsy]

I'm grateful you're back and for what you share.

[figgeroni]

HEY BND...I knew there was someone I was forgetting...it is why I can never win an award

I would forget someone vital!!!

then there would be the gossip...
the rumors...
the innuendos (is that how you spell it)

see and I didn't say QUO or KarenMarie or the pole dancing queen either...I suck so hardcore it is unreal

[Reincarnated]

You just haven't gotten back all of your braincells that you lost to pregnancy...

[bright_new_day]

Well, being that we think alike you must know that I would always forgive you! LOL

[Lissie]

You have come so far my Figger.

I am proud of you, and what you have overcome.

I am proud that you can be proud of yourself and take a compliment with the pride it deserves, and ok shuffle your feet under the desk , but at least it's not right away now, it's like an entire half hour later, and that totally rocks..

You are a great mom, to the Hardy boys and Cocositabutt.

You are all grown up I think... yikers...

[Jack_Three_Beans]

even you too Fig.

: )

I hope nothing but the best for for my many old friends who now post here, albeit infrequently.

We have all grown to the point where support seems... silly, and yet a part of me misses those days. Where coming here, well not the D area...but the boards, meant I was going to see my friends.

The people we were, those sad wretches...those sad happy and supported wretches, we were all pretty damn cool.

I miss you guys.

May love find you, yeah even you Ian with my gay ass post here, may it find you, sweep you off your feet, and fill your stomach with butterflys until you draw your last.


even Jack...

phhpt thanks Rah rah

[figgeroni]

I forgot about rah rah...



see...I can be nice sometimes
even when you post all gay ass

jayzus mary joseph and all the saints...it must be Christmas!!!

Lissie...you helped me travel this road...I am forever in your debt and I think I shuffle my feet a lot sooner than 30 mins!!! but I like your confidence
