After writing my post and reading what other's wrote, I decided to make this post.   I was going to do a TGIF post but I think we need to remember of all the good things we do have in our lives....


So here I will start this:


I am thankful for



  • My ANA score dropped over half which means my lupus is in remission

  • I have great parents who care a lot for me

  • knowing that Lori and Jan are always there for a shoulder or great advice and overall, all the ladies on this board (YAY LADIES!)

  • the love from my puppy

  • finding Gina

  • My DH

  • Great Friends

  • Each day

  • knowing God is with me even though I have not been a good praticing Christian.

  • I have a job

Great idea, Darla--thank you! Here's my list.


I'm thankful for:


1. My position as a CL here, my wonderful co-CL and all you ladies on this board. It is a gift to be in a position to "give back" and help others in some way.


2. My nieces and nephew. They are like my own kids. I love them with my whole heart!


3. My mom and dad.


4. My partner


5. ("Stealing one from Darla here lol") God who loves and forgives me and the faith that allows me to call myself a Christian even though I don't do a very good job of it!


6. The support people in my life both past and present who've made this journey a HECK of a lot easier than it would have been!


7. Life!


8. Pets I have dearly loved but no longer have (Trixie and Simon--dog and cat)


9. My Nana. This wonderful lady (my mom's mother) died when I was 9 but her love and devotion, her sense of fun and her spirit are with me even today!


10. My siblings--in some ways so very different from me but good people just the same!


11. Books--I LOVE to read!


12. Music--gotta love that too!


Although I'm sure I can come up with more...that's about it for now. Maybe later I'll add to it! Hugs and hope you all have a great day! Lori

Thanks for your kind words, Darla & for starting this thread. It may sound corny, but we have much to be thankful for. Being reminded of our many blessings IS the *positive thinking* that will keep us in balance. (((hugs))) jan

I know I have many more than I can list, but I'll give it a shot!


1.) I am thankful to be alive & in good health.


2.) I am thankful my dd's are both alive. My youngest is a heroin addict & has OD'd 6 times. I haven't received one of those awful calls today & though I worry myself sick over her plight in life, today I know that she's still with us.


3.) I'm thankful for God's blessings. I have enough to eat, a place to live, a contant friend to watch over me & tell my troubles too.


4.) I have good friends & family.


5.) I have many cyber friends who are important to me & matter just as much as my *real life* friends:) Debbie, Lori, Laurie, Barb, Sheri Ann, Judy, Julie & K! You guys know who you are;)


6.) That iVillage exists to provide us a safe place to vent & share & learn.
