A fantastic weekend filled with new faces, sucessful workshops, loud drums and sacred ceremony. I am grateful to understand a deeper meaning to the term "hollow bone". I am grateful for two amazing kids. I am grateful for good friends. I have more in my life to be grateful for, then not.:canadian:

I am thankful for the Planet...a place of such diversity, such beautiful people, and the amazing friendships I have made here. Eternally grateful for the many levels of memberships afforded to us here I am.
I am thankful for the two who cared enough to step up and create a space...taking that chance...and creating it with such dignity, respect, and support we have here.
I am thankful for the admin/mods...who give...and give..and give..tirelessly...of so much of themselves, their time, and of their hearts for us to have a safe playground...having to deal with drama, adversity, and such probably daily...yet always show us love, respect, and committment....to making this site THE BOMB!!! Big hugs to ALL of you...I truly do appreciate each and everyone of you...and yet the word THANKS hardly seems to be the right one...
Hosting and running this site is so very demanding and requires almost 24/7 attention...it can NOT be easy...so my hats off to you!
Planning a Reunion, in addition...all I can say is YOU ALL rock!!! I am sure that as soon as the last minute of the reunion is over, you are already in the planning stages for the next one...so...just know..I DO appreciate you all..in every way...THANK YOU ALL! Big hugs...xoxox...Clay
Sometimes, we "forget" what this site requires of the owners...and "forget" to say thanks..so this is my post to do just that and say thanks

That my best little buddy, and sweetest dog I've ever had, Laci, who escaped and was missing, was found by a sweet family and pampered for 2 days til they got her home to us this morning safe & sound!!!!

AND that she was micro chipped - if not for that, she may not have ever come home!!!

I'm thankful for so very much. I'm truly blessed.

Although life can be incredibly stressful, I am aware of all the good in my life.

I have a loving family, something I am so fortunate for. We may have moments here and there but in truth we are so close. I'm thankful to my parents for the work they put in. My sisters and I are all extremely family oriented and it is such a blessing to know that no matter what - you will never be alone. Ever.

My best friends and chosen family, saying I'm thankful for them simply does not begin to cover it. They are absolutely amazing, truly. I could not picture life without them. There is something so great about having best friends that can turn to you and say... do you remember when we got our license? When we turned 21? Etc. Or, having friends that do not hesitate to slap you upside the head and tell you how foolish you are being... laughs. I adore them.

Then there is the woman in my life; thankful? Every moment of every day. I could not have asked for more.

Yes life is often difficult, stressful and frustrating. But I'm so blessed.

My children. Even though my boys are coming into their teen years, and I often have the urge to choke them, I love them so very much. They are intelligent, funny, respectful, well-behaved, and they love their momma so much despite me not always being the perfect mom.

My partner. Aside from my children, he is everything right and positive in my life. He pushes me to be the very best I can be, he supports me when I feel like a failure, and he lifts me up when I'm too weak to stand on my own. My rock. My shoulder. My beloved king.

Times get hard, I'm very passionate and very emotional, I'm not always an easy woman to deal with, or handle, but he tries so very hard. He never walks away from me, even when I feel he does at times. He is always there, even if some leash length is what I need, even if I don't think so.

He is my best friend, my guide, my confidant, my sexy sadistic lover, and I am so grateful to have such positive male influence in my life. He is an asset to my family and myself.

I am thankful for the ability my children have to open their hearts and their arms to him, giving him his rightful place at my side, even when they were always the men of my life, the men of the house. Their acceptance is something so amazing.

My life is absolutely amazing. Be the times hard to endure, or blissful and peace-filled, it is still always amazing, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

i'm grateful for this site, and for supportive friends. i'm grateful to have people to turn to when things are hard.

Gramma D, what she means to me and the time we have shared together on this earth. She has saved me in body, mind and spirit. She's been my sanity and my guide.

We talked today of the things we took for granted and the choices we've made that "lead us where we are today". Although I didn't like to make the choice to move North to find a job years ago (to move away from the only home I've ever known and the only true family that loved me unconditionally), I am thankful I did because it gave me the starting point of my career in health care. I am thankful she stood beside me and supported me with the decisions and difficult choices I had to make. She understood why I had to do what I did.

She has always been there for me.... Even with all the bad stuff I faced after moving North, I am thankful I had those life experiences and many opportunities.

And today.... with only a week left in a miserable job... I am thankful that my life and career experience, common sense, intense drive to be a Leader and child health Champion, and my internal-encyclopedia of health care administration knowledge has lead me to another great career opportunity and the possibilities it holds. I'm not happy about staying in health care... but I am thankful.

This is where my life has lead me and I am thankful for those that stood beside me, even during the hard times and times I nearly lost my sanity.

I try to never complain and just get by on ALL the incredible blessings I have..in friends, kindnesses from such, and I am always, always so blessed...just when I need something most..somehow..it is always provided ...smiling thru tears here!!! A tank of gas is like gold ingots to me...so yes, I am VERY tearfully thankful for it...bless BiLo grocery stores and a Local Radio station...who were giving away a free tank of gas to the first 100 people to drive in to their mobile setup today....as I was sitting at the light very close by this location...on fumes...having just been out to a medical appointment....

My Mother and Pop (and their continued good health) and the rest of my wonderful family, who has always stood by me, no matter what, even though sometimes, they make me grit my teeth. :winky:

One of the most kind, truly beautiful women G-d ever put on this earth to go through life with as my partner. She puts up with my nonsense and is truly one of a kind. :winky::heartbeat:

Having a beautiful, comfortable, secure home to call my own and enough money to be able to pay others to do what I cannot, physically, do myself. (thanks especially to my landscaper, Juan) :)

My little gang of froggies who never fail to be waiting for me to come home to them at night. They always have a smile...and Ivan has lots of songs... for dear ol' Dad!!! :awww::frog::frog::frog::musicnote:

For a good, secure job that pays really well and great coworkers who tolerate me when I have to take off, sometimes a *lot*, because of my health issues. :thumbsup:

For being able to retire early with enough money in the bank, benefits and reasonably good health enough to enjoy the remaining years of my life being able to do what I want. :clap:

For an upcoming road trip with her to a mountain ranch resort in Utah where we can enjoy the peace and quiet....and each other's company. :winky::stillheart:

I am a very lucky and blessed guy. :winky:

I am SO thankful for this wonderful person who i have always admired and respected and who became my friend and is now my life partner. We think alike on so many, many things. We learn from each other and we grow. At the end of the day there is one thing that binds us so tight, it still amazes me and that is....we just love.

Just loving is a beautiful way of life. :bunchflowers:

a bra that actually fits! i finally bit the bullet and got my friend to take me to the boutique bra store an hour away from where i live, where i discovered i'm a 38h or 36i, and i actually managed to find some comfortable bras that don't kill my back. i've never owned a bra that fit properly because i couldn't afford it before.
new nail polish.
my femme and fierce necklaces from rowdy baubles! got them in the mail yesterday :)

all these are consumer-ish things and usually i try to focus on intangible things, but the feeling i had in the bra store...just...seriously. i could cry. i'm so happy.

AMEN G! You just summed up exactly what I have been thinking all day today!

...the fact that despite this geographical area being exclusive and not liking outsiders, I have met some wonderful people at work who have welcomed me, supported me and make me feel like I am not alone.
...that I broke the rule I made before moving here that I would not date anyone local (for many reasons). If I would have stuck to it I would have missed out on someone extraordinary.
...my job, my financial situation and my perseverance.
...the support I get from this community here on BFP. I can leave for a while because of work and being on-call and all the associated craziness and come back and know that the support is still there. I live a pretty isolated life here and to know that this community is here when I need it makes it a little easier here in the country where I have to drive two states away to get to the closest civilization.

- to be able to take steps to improve my heath..it feels like one of my most difficult journeys in my lifetime, but as i see & feel the changes in my health, i am so thankful for choosing this path to follow..And plan on keeping on!

- for love, how blessed i feel to have such an amazing Daddy/Sir/Partner & Halfside. Mr Mtn proves daily just how very loved i am, and can i also say how much i love Him soo..And proud to belong to Him. <3

- Opportunites & the confidence to go for them.. Nursing course, weight loss support group, my recovery & new sponsor, f2f meetings and much, much more..

- my growing knowledge of triggers, the who's and the what's - and constantly seeking ways to distance them and take some steps forward..Not dwelling in that headspace anymore, it's all about smiles, positivity and embracing the good things & good people!

food, sleep, love, understanding, connection.
having the words to express what i mean and also being around people who sometimes don't need me to say the words because they know already.
being in community. i didn't realize volunteering at the acupuncture clinic was going to mean this much to me in terms of being in community. i'm grateful for that. i'm grateful to be able to do something to help others, and to know they have my back.

I am also thankful for my children and grandchildren and the love, support and care of my butch.

I never thought I would find love again and finding someone so truly special is nothing short of a small miracle.

Thank you baby, for everything. I am so thankful the universe brought you to me.

That inventory is done again, and this time around we are lower in cost and expense. Three more months to improve...

That the storm warning was good practice to moving all our patients to safety and that it passed by so we could continue with our cases as well as settling the inpatient ones back into their room safely.

That I never get bored of my job because everyday is something new...

That there is a very special person out there that really deserves the world handed to her.

i am thankful for forgiveness.. Even if it comes gradually, and with much hard work & communication and understanding, it's really nice when forgiveness is possible.. Especially forgiveness for self.

i am thankful for the good in people.. Random acts of kindness, volunteering, going out of their way to help someone.. i am thankful for the good in me, as well, for all of those same reasons.. Making a difference, small steps at a time, and feeling the goodness of that within my heart, soul & the tips of my toes..

i am thankful for the air i breathe, the nature around me, Buddha's blessings, Mr Mtn and His incredible love for me, the way We make Our distance work until We put Our plan in motion to be together♥ , Our children, families, furbabies, friends.. We really are blessed and surrounded by incredible loved ones, & bringing all of that together as one, one day soon, tickles me pink..

I am thankful for the fresh start that DamonK and I have embarked on here in Oregon. Leaving the stress and pressure of the house that was a noose around my neck for 8 years has brought a breath of fresh spring air.

I am thankful that I no longer feel the burning pressure of the debt that surrounded me in Missouri. I am still dealing with it but in my own time no longer allowing debt collectors to rule my life.

I am thankful for the job that I got after just being here 2 weeks. I hear with unemployment that is almost unheard of. I love it and the people I work with. I have never worked somewhere where everyone gets along and there is no cattiness. Everyone genuinely cares about each other and the work that they do. THAT is a welcome change...

I am thankful for the love that DamonK and I have shared for the past 3 years. Our life together is solid and wonderful. We are open to new possibilities in our life her in Oregon. Our relationship has ebbed and flowed and we have moved with it as changes occur. Even though we have decided we no longer see D/s in our personal relationship, we both know that we both very much value D/s in our lives. I look forward to the opportunity to spread my wings and seek a new D/s direction in my life. I am amazed every day how the fact that we lead a poly-amorous life together makes us both very happy.

I am thankful for my pups. I love my Peppa with all my heart. I cant imagine life without her. She makes me so happy all the time. When she is pressed against my legs at night under the blanket she keeps me warm. When she is "bonding" with me (aka pressing her head hard against my forehead) it makes me laugh and giggle. When she is being a sh*t as she often is... I remind myself how much I love her.

I am thankful for so many things in my life and am so happy I make myself sick sometimes... lol

Amazing, generous, kind, gracious, genuine, smart, witty coworkers who make me smile and feel valued every day ... Working with and getting to know my newest Consultant makes me so very thankful for her...and she makes me laugh every day.. ...I'm also incredibly thankful for the Nurses I work with, I believe they have 'earned their wings' and I'm so blessed to be surrounded and supported by such amazing people!! I can't imagine doing my work or facing my day without them!! The more I get to know about them, the more thankful I am.

I'm forever thankful for certain friends that always have my back.

I'm thankful for new opportunities and for being a fiercely independent woman.

After being a caretaker for many years while never taking care of myself... I'm thankful for finally making myself and my needs a priority.


Ohhhh...I nearly forgot.... I'm THANKFUL for pay day!! (especially since I only get paid once a month now)

If anyone had told me that I would still be so absurdly in love with my wife almost thirteen years after we met, I would have spilled my drink. But here I am waiting for her to come home, texting her the grocery list, and I honestly just can't get over it.

My life hasn't always been perfect, and I've made some decisions that were certainly not particularly well thought out at the time. Nevertheless, all of those decisions led me into her path. How could I not be thankful?

I'm thankful for my 81 year old mother who said, when I told her I was transgender, "tell me more about it", in a tone of voice that was accepting and willing to learn. Today she told me she loved me and thanked me for taking care of her. It is the little things like a thank you, a tone of voice, telling someone you love them that makes the tough stuff easier to handle. I am very lucky to have a supportive family.

Very thankful for friends that always stand by me and never leave my side. Extremely thankful for the friend that took me to the hospital and never left me, then took me home caring for my every need. It's chosen friends that have become family. It's those family members that have touched my life and taught me what compassion is.

I'm thankful for a home away from home to recover.

I am very thankful that this week has went smoothly. I am also thankful that my parents and Ginger are doing well even though I am not at home to care for them. The week is quickly coming to a close and all has been wonderful. I am thankful for my privilege of being able to receive a very good education from people who teach because the subject and teaching are both passions of theirs. I am blessed to have wonderful classmates and the ability to pick up on the material very quickly. Most of all I am thankful that my practicum site finally settled the agreement with the college and I begin my hours on Monday or Tuesday. I return the car rental on Monday morning, but this trip has been fabulous. I am truly blessed and thankful for it ALL.
