I am THANKFUL for...

[s0litude]

With all of the "bad stuff" that we all face day in and day out, it's easy to lose track of all of the good things in our lives. I was told once that if we take a moment to stop and think of at least three good things that we can be thankful for on a daily basis, our moods will generally improve. For me, that starts today.

So here's what I have to offer, and I hope others will join me on this by listing their own-- and listing them regularly so we can all share in the smiles.

Try to think of at least three-- more if you're able.

I am thankful for:


Bold, fiesty femmes who tell you just how it is because butches/bois/ and transmen can be dense sometimes-- c'mon, ya know it's true!
Great coffee
The laughter of loved ones
Friends who know and see your flaws-- and love you despite them
A nation that provides resources for those who are temporarily set back or permanently disabled so no one has to suffer if they know where to look
Coconut-scented hair care products; the smell of vanilla and lavender and citrus; fresh cut grass;freshly-baked bread; the smell of a baby's skin as well as puppy and kitten breath
The ability to comprehend new ideas and thoughts and find new ways of viewing things, new perceptions
My dad-- my hero
Pajamas fresh out of the dryer, all warm and snuggly
Sarcasm-- because I don't think I'd survive this world without it
Medusa, Linus, and others who make this site-- and the possibility for making new friends and alliances-- possible

I am thankful for finally a day to myself to do nothing , nothing at all. :)

[Kenna]

Very thankful I'm an independent, confident woman; for that I have Momma D to thank.

Very thankful that Momma D helped me (years ago) to heal and show me my worth, as well as teach me that I didn't need to accept abuse or tolerate an abusive relationship. She guided me during a very difficult, painful time of my life when my son died...it was because of her that I recovered and learned independence and confidence again.

I'm thankful and happy that I know what Home is and thankful for the important people I feel safe with to include them as part of that Home.

I'm thankful for FEELING grief as it has helped me process feelings to reach closure and peace.

I'm thankful for beautiful days and for the uplifting feeling of hope.

[Kenna]

I am EXTREMELY THANKFUL for my medical team...even more so when I learned today that one of my specialists is an Advocate for the LGBTQ Community and is genuinely accepting and non judgemental. That I can open up to her on subjects I've never discussed with any other medical professional. In her words, she's very knowledgeable, including supporting parents in the Community and about Trans issues.

I'm thankful for the events that led me to meet this individual.

[Martina]

I am grateful that my mom seems more like her old self today.

[Venus007]

I am thankful that I can learn and grow even from tedium and difficulty

[JDeere]

I am thankful for Aleve liquid gels, they tide me over until I can get into my PC doctor to get my real pain meds.

[anotherbutch]

I am thankful for a job I love and the fact that I have decent health insurance... I'd be screwed without it.

[Blade]

I am thankful for God's Spring masterpiece. I think this is the most beautiful Spring I can remember in years and years. The frost didn't come late enough, and the buds didn't come to early. Everything worked perfectly this year.

The wild Dogwoods are in full bloom and are beautiful. I don't remember seeing soooo many Azalea's in so many different variations all in bloom. There are every color you could imagine. I like the compact Azalea's but even the leggy ones are pretty this year.

Thank you God for the beauty of all things Spring.

[Bèsame*]

thankful, he isn't just a leg man......anymore!

[Teddybear]

I'm so thankful that my heart function has gone from working at less than 30% to right at 60% in 3 months. I Dont have to wear or have a defibrillator implanted. My a1c has dropped 5.5 pountsbin 3 months. That shows the drs I knew what I was talking about when I went into the hospital.

I'm thankful for a job that has let me grow and now it may be that I will be promoted into a new position time will tell. I just hope it doesn't mean I have to move.

[Kenna]

Certain people that go above and beyond...and are the definition of true, selfless, lifelong friends.

[Orema]

I have choices and options.
There are people who care for me.
I am able to improve my health, my finances, my relationships.
I'm also able to make a difference in other people lives without taking away from my own.


Everyone's not afforded these opportunities. Lucky me.

[cinnamongrrl]

I am so thankful for all those who texted me through out my arduously long work day today....

They made a 13 hour shift more tolerable and gave me snippets of happiness all through a day that was rather difficult emotionally....

[Blade]

I am thankful for the message I received at church this morning. I needed that!

[Orema]

I'm thankful for the unknown women who speak truth to power. They also make a difference whether or not we know who they are.

[Chad]

I am thankful for this site. I met my lovely lady here along with some dear friends.

[Blade]

The opportunity to give back

[Orema]

I've got to work this weekend, but I'm grateful to have this job.

[Orema]

I work with paper and get paper cuts all the time, but it's rough when I get them in the crease of my palm.

Got one in the crease yesterday and thank goodness for liquid band aid.

This cut will heal in days with liquid band aid, otherwise it would take weeks.

[Orema]

I've been very lucky with managers. I've had three different managers in the last 15 years and all of them have been great. One former manager, who no longer works at this company, is now my best friend and we're going to a concert next month. :)

Well, I had to call my manager earlier and let her know I was gonna miss a deadline because I just didn't want to work on this project (writing instructions for Windows XP users). I have made everything else a priority—including writing this posting. BTW, this isn't my modus operandi. I'm reliable and I get things done whether I have to come in on a weekend, stay late, whatever. But, not this project.

Anyway, she was so cool. She said "I get it and I'm doing the same thing—postponing work that needs to be done."

So, I'm thankful for flexible managers who "get it."

[Kenna]

Ceiling fans...
A refreshing cool bath...
Oversized fluffy towels...
A big picture window overlooking the fields as I lounge half naked, after my bath, with the breeze from the fan drying my skin...
A well stocked pantry and dinner in the crock...
Fresh veggies from the most beautiful garden you've ever seen...
Homemade smoothies...

Making a phone call about a mistake with a hospital bill and being told "you should have NEVER been billed for that, I will take care of it immediately".

[Venus007]

My honey lamb is letting me use her car and she is driving her truck until I can scrape enough together for a down payment on an affordable reliable vehicle.
For most of both of our lives this would have been impossible but now it isn't. It took a lot of hard work to get here and for that improvement, the car and my honey lamb I am very grateful

[Bèsame*]

Thankful, for the loving people and friends in my life who listen. We all need them, time to time.

P.s.....I'm a great listener too :)

[Orema]

Acts of forgiveness and acts of grace at unexpected times.

[Blade]

I am thankful for it not being a it's hot enough to melt day! LOL

Nice 86 degree day after a month of 90+ temps and days of over 95+. It's the humidity here that makes hot weather so miserable.

He just said for the first time since July 4 it was below 90

[cinnamongrrl]

I'm thankful for the wonderful people I work for...

My client today gave me a $20 tip and told me to enjoy my weekend...

[Degotoga]

My life.

Family - bio and chosen.

And, even though there's about an hour that I can't seem to clearly recall, I am extremely thankful that the situation the other night wasn't any worse.

The medic that treated me, who is also a really good friend of mine, has kindly filled in the hour or so gap for me. I asked her if she took advantage of me while she had the opportunity, she pleaded the 5th... I may or may not be a little scared now, lol

[Jesse]

I am thankful for the people who never give up on me or walk out of my life, knowing that I am worth keeping around for the long haul.

[TruTexan]

I'm thankful for my friends and neighbors around me....even if it is only 2 people I can hang with around here.

[Blade]

Toyota trucks
Carolina blue skies
Blue moons
Mountain roadside stands

[Smiling]

I am thankful for a well-developed appreciation of irony.

The possibility of healing a deep connection with someone -

[TheHinduPose]

Humour:
That we have the capacity to laugh and ability to find humour in all sorts of situations and life events, from the trivial to deeply intense more serious stuff that goes on in our lives.

[Karysma]

The support of friends... :)

[JDeere]

I am thankful for my healthy relationship!

[Kätzchen]

I’m thankful for the past 66 years of life: although there are many things I’d like to say I wish I never experienced, I don’t think I’d change it because it’s all those very harrowing situations and experiences in life that has sharpened my ability to discern right from wrong or who’s being honest and telling the truth. I’m grateful and thankful and feel a good deal of humility. Sometimes, it’s just better to take a seat and watch and listen. Still waters really do run deep.

[bbgirl]

I am thankful for many things in my 50 years. Right now I'm most Thankful for this site. I haven't been on here for a long time but I always love coming back, especially on nights like tonight. Trusty old Butchfemmeplanet. Thank you Madusa! You are such a
