I am thankful for...

I'm feeling extra positive for some unknown reason this morning...Since not everyone will be working tomorrow to play, let's do this today.

 

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?  (If you're Canadian, what were you thankful for a month or so ago? Stick out tongue)

Re: I am thankful for...

  • I am thankful for:

    - A loving husband and a great marriage

    - A stable job with great benefits and decent pay (although I'm not always thankful for having to wake up and go there...)

    - A supportive family and group of friends

    - Being able to travel to be with my family for Thanksgiving after all

    - My little niece.  She was an accidental pregnancy for my sister, but I can't imagine my life without her. I'm so excited to go home and see her!

    I'm sure there are more, but I'm a little brain dead this morning...

  • I am thankful for my amazing husband and his equally amazing family and can't wait to spend Thanksgiving with them this year.

    I am thankful that we are able to buy a new house!

    I am thankful to have a job and not be in debt

  • sunshine, thanks for doing this!  i think sometimes people only focus on the negative (myself included, big time!) and we need to look at the bigger picture and see the positives in our lives that we are thankful for.

    end sappiness.

    except to say that every thanksgiving we go around and say what we are thankful for before we eat.

    my list:

    -a happy and healthy marriage

    -healthy friends and family

    -jobs with healthcare and decent pay (well, at least for me!  not g so much...)

    -my new macbook pro that i will get on friday

    -and although this will be a tough thanksgiving because it will be the first one without my grandma (whose birthday is thanksgiving, or would have been this year), i am thankful for all of the years that i got to celebrate with her.  and i am thankful that she is at peace finally and in heaven with my grandpa (ok, again, end sappiness.)

    You're welcome!  I was actually a little irritated at K being negative on the way to work this morning and killing my happy buzz, so I had to make it positive in here to keep me going. :-)

    We also go around the table and say what we are thankful for before eating.  Which almost always ends in someone crying - in a good way, I mean.  My grandma always tells us we'll choke on our food if we start eating without being thankful for something.  ha ha.

  • I'm thankful for...

    - A job that I love and that I'm 99% sure is paying for me to go back to college. 

    - a great marriage.

    - caramel macchiato creamer. 

    - my fuzzy fat kitty.

    - my family for driving an hour to visit me on Sunday for our Thanksgiving. 

     

  • Lately I've been feeling negative and depressed- so I started doing a list of 5 things every day. I did t every day last week and then this week I posed this very question (about what are you thankful for) on my FB.

    I've been feeling a little better since doing these lists every day :o)

    you can check out my FB for this -- if you haven't already <3

  • On FB, my cousins have been doing Attitude of Gratitude for each day this month.  I love reading theirs, but never did one myself.

    I'm thankful for:

    My wonderful husband, who is way too good to me sometimes (he went out and got dinner last night cuz I was starving and he had cabin fever)

    My family and friends

    The best pugFace ever

    Books, music, TV and the internet

    My job (even though I hate it, I have made some great friends, learned a lot, and it's helping me climb out of debt)

    A working car

    The ability to eat whatever I want, whenever I want (double edged sword, but I'm still grateful to not be starving or have to go to bed hungry like the old days)

     

     

  • the hubby, the family, the doggie, my great friends, my new client that actually pays me what I'm worth, that my friend is finishing up my engine rebuild today, and  that we're not hosting thanksgiving this year. I am NOT thankful for the godddamn cats though.

  • I am thankful:

    -to be married to a wonderful man.

    - for our dogs, especially when they are realy cuddly or protective. Not so much when they annoy the crap out of me, but...

    - to have a house to live in... it may not be the ritz, but it is what works for us right now.

    - to have at least SOME supportive family members... without whom we would be moving to timbuktu like NOW.

    Thanks sunshine, I have been easily annoyed and in a crappy mood lately. It's good to force yourself to think about the good things.

  • - My wonderful husband, who puts up with my crazy mood swings

    - My family, even though they're crazy you gotta love them

    - That we both have jobs and even though mine sucks, it could be worse

    - That I am happy with my life.  Even though I would like to have more money, a bigger house, and so on, there are people out there who are worse off than I am.  I should never take what I have for granted.

    Oh crap, Thanksgiving always makes me so emotional!

  • - Thankful and grateful for my husband. James has always treated me like a queen since our first date and he is my rock.

    - My family - two of my cousins had babies this year and couldn't be happier for them. Two other cousins also got married this year too and couldn't be happier.

    - My in-laws - I heart my MIL and FIL and my BIL's. And can't wait to go to the IL house on Turkey day.

    - My job - although I gripe about it and want to move on, I'm grateful for a steady paycheck, my boss and most of my co-workers ;) I'm also thankful that James was able to find a better full time job than what he had earlier this year. 

    Me (33)& DX: DOR, FSH-20.3; DH(28):SA=normal 8/11 HSG= clear!
    IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8. image Visit The Nest! Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
