I am THANKFUL for... - Page 4

Teddybear · 04-12-2015, 06:53 AM

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.

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

Orema · 04-30-2015, 05:19 AM

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 · 05-10-2015, 09:10 PM

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 · 05-24-2015, 11:03 PM

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

Orema · 05-31-2015, 07:26 AM

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 · 05-31-2015, 11:27 AM

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

The opportunity to give back

Orema · 06-05-2015, 09:01 AM

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

Orema · 06-11-2015, 05:19 AM

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 · 06-18-2015, 12:47 PM

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 · 06-18-2015, 01:47 PM

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 · 06-19-2015, 03:53 AM

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* · 06-19-2015, 07:49 AM

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 · 06-28-2015, 06:29 AM

Acts of forgiveness and acts of grace at unexpected times.

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

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 · 08-01-2015, 04:05 PM

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 · 08-01-2015, 07:14 PM

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 · 08-01-2015, 09:44 PM

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