~~Daily Thanksgiving~~

There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning to possess it.

Good Morning Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for...

1.  Warm coffee on a cold, rainy morning.

2.  The beautiful home I have to come home to and my wonderful husband waiting inside.

3.  The weather might clear up for the weekend.

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Good Morning Barb,

Today I am thankful for:

1. being off for the next 8 days!!!!

2. my wonderful house

3. having a full time job

4. all the great new people I have met because of having WLS. They have so enriched my life.

Good Morning Barb.  Think I'll take part in this today because even though things haven't been all that great lately, I have to remember to still be thankful for those things that enrich my life as opposed to dwelling on those things that sometimes make it difficult to get through a day.  So that being said, today I am thankful for

1.  the doctors who are working so hard to get me back to normal and out of pain and just able to function again.  It's been a tough road lately in that department.

2.  the most wonderful birthday weekend I could have ever imagined.  Two days at Disney and then spent Saturday night at the Paradise Pier hotel.  They upgraded our room because we said it was my birthday.  Saturday night friends and family joined us for dinner at Downtown Disney and showed me how much they all loved me by coming from all over to help me celebrate.

3.  the new computer that Mike got me for my birthday.  As if the weekend at Disney wasn't enough, he got me the computer that I have been "lusting" after for months and was saving up for.  Now I have it and I love it.  I love him, though, more.

4.  My son, who is all grown up but still does little things for me that remind of the little things he would do for me when he was just a little boy.  Sometimes he's just the sweetest young man and definitely a son I wish every mother had. 

OK, so I need to stop now because I'm getting all teary-eyed thinking about how loved I am.  With all the difficulties we all encounter everyday in our lives, if we remember that we are loved and are capable of giving love back, it just makes everything else not so important.

Morning Barb..yep, the rain is back and in vengence!  Sure hope it clears before Thursday!

today I am Thankful for:

God giving me the opportunity daily to learn patience and tolerance...to see things from other people's perspective

remembering Titans can clash but they can still hug and love each other inspite of their differences

looking in the mirror and knowing I am a grown up..but that I refuse to GROW UP  ;-)

have a great wet day Cali...I thank God the most for the rain and snow!

HIJACK....

Nancy, you are an RV traveler so I thought I would ask this question of you.  Mike and I are about to come into the possession of a very nice RV Trailer.  We would like to find a permanent spot for it where we don't have to drag it from place to place.  We are interested in the Big Bear Lake area or Arrowhead.  Do you know of any places up there that do year round space rental or do you know if there is some kind of company that deals with finding year round space rentals.  We are truly novices when it comes to this so if you have any information, I'd so appreciate it.

Thanks and hope you stay dry today.  Have a wonderful day.

Steph

Hey Steph...glad to see you are surviving the 'tax' bug ;-)  Let me do some checking and I'll get back at ya regarding year-round on-site renting.  I know the state parks don't allow it but alot of private camp grounds have turned to renting some spots out...helps the bottom line I'm sure.
Nancy

Thanks Nancy.  I really appreciate it.  Even if you can't get any info, I still appreciate it.  The wealth of information and graciousness of people like you is what has kept me coming back here for all these years.  Anything you find out will be a help.

Thanks again,
Steph

I know I don't post here everyday, but I do read it and it reminds me of all the things I have to be thankful for so I am thankful for this post and all of you!

I am thankful for my husband and family too.  Like Stephanie said it is so nice to know they love me so much and are a great since of support for me.

My granddaughter took her first step Sunday. I wasn't there but she is doing so well. I am thankful that my grand kids are so healthy, curious, smart, and of course adorable!

I am just thankful for my life in general.  I really know that this is the best time of my life so far. I also have every reason to believe it will only get better.

Hi all,

Stephanie, hang in there!!! I hope your pain goes away soon.

Today I am thankful for......

1. Having a Hawaii trip to look forward to
