The list is too long to write it all out here. I am thankful for many of the same things all of you have said. Life gives us lemons and chocolate. It's up to us to enjoy them both!!
I am thankful for the friendships here, they mean a lot in my life.
I am especially thankful that after bad marriages I was willing to take the chance again. This last time I hit the jackpot!!!

Aw, for so many things......Right now, I am Thankful to the Dentist who fixed up my mouth this week! I was in horrible pain, and put it off, and she got me right in. That first shot of novacane was HEAVEN!!!!!!!! Can actually swallow coffee today with out whining!!!!!!!!
My family, kids, BF and his loving family....we've been together 10 years, so they are my family too........my very messy home, that I can afford to have so many pets.....even my minimum wage job, lol, because I could have NO JOB!
The friends I have made here, that put up with my bad spelling, and messy posts, I TOTALLY miss you all when I can get online for some reason or another! Its so funny to really care so much about people youve never got to meet, but you really do!

I am grateful for my family. My life style is kinda different due to my kidney disease and my famliy is great at understanding.
My few good friends that have worked at trying to understand about my lifestyle.
My home here with my Mom, who has been supportive and always ready to help whenever I need it.
My dog who loves me no matter what.
My ability to sew and do crafts.
My daughter and grandsons, and another daughter.
My computer and this board-I have learned so much!

Like everyone else I am thankful for all the material things that I have, but I am most thankful for my wonderful DH of 48 years. Without him life would not be worth living. We have four dear children and 9 grandkids and are expecting our first great grandchild in January.

For a husband with whom I've shared 29 years and who is so good to me.
For a daughter who is happy and successful.
For a wonderful home.
For a houseful of pets who are all characters.
For my friends.
And so much more.

For my beloved husband who has put up with me for 55 years. For health, and the ability to do most things I want to do even at age 73. For 3 kids who moved every 2 or 3 years to follow Dad as the Navy moved us all over the world, and didn't complain but looked forward to each new place. For their successes in life and the failures that have made them strong. For 4 grandchildren and their spouses. No great grands yet, but I'm in no hurry and they aren't either! For the comfort of friends and the beauty of God's world, especially the Smoky Mountains outside my window. Life is good! Thank you Lord.

I am like all of you & have so many things I am thankful for that I cannot post them all. I am very thankful to wake up each day and get to experience whatever happens. I'm thankful that I survived a heart attack 5 yrs ago. Like Ditter said, we have Chocolate & Lemons & it is up to us as to what we make with them. I am also very thankful for my DH of 32 yrs.(3rd DH) He is a keeper. Also for my 4 kids and 6 grands & their good health. I am not a materialistic person & it really takes so very little to make me happy & content. And I am very thankful that I found this Board & the friends I have made here. I am really blessed.

I am thankful for my hubby, whom, without his hard work and dedication to family we wouldn't have what we have today. For my parents that are always at the other end of the phone at any given day or time, my brothers and sister and my family's good health. Great friends, roof over our head, food on the table, bills paid, and wonderful friends on this board who know when to give a pat on the back, give a hand, lend a shoulder and bend an ear when we need it..

I have so much to be thankful for, after living in four different countries, I am thankful to be retired with my hubby of 44 years in the beautiful Vale of Glamorganshire, South Wales UK, and to be near to our two sons and 4 g.kids, 3 of whom our youngest son and DIL have just recently adopted, we are truly blessed and thankful that they have got the family they wanted for so long. I am also thankful for my good health, when so many others are not so fortunate, and all the good things God bestows on us every day and being able to sleep peacefully every night, knowing that I am ready for an even better place with The Lord, through his precious blood. God is good !!
