Hey guys!

It's time for Tankful Tursday!  A day where we can rejoice and shout from the rooftops all that we are Tankful for.  It's a great alternative to wasting away in a sea despair and darkness!  So, who's ready to get ouot of thier funk?  I know I am!
  

Last week was a pretty rough one for me. I found it very hard to find even one thing to be Tankful for. Now I know it should not be that way, but it was. I really don’t know what even made the week the way it was. A cloud of depression hung over me like a storm that would not stop!  

As I was contemplating (I love that word, it’s a fancy way of saying, “My brain is working hard”), about how hard things were, a song came on the radio. It was one by a Christian group called “Casting Crowns”. The name of the song is “Praise you in the storm”. What a lovely sentiment, that in the midst of trials and tribulations, you can still reach out and see the good! As hard as it is, sometimes we just need that little push through the gloom toward a new day. Well this song did it for me!   

Here is the chorus for the song:  
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

So, what am I Tankful for on this Tankful Tursday?   

I am thankful for a God you reaches down and wipes those tears away. A God who is right beside me, no matter what. A God who loves me and sees me for who I am.  

I am Thankful for my wife and son who are the world to me!  

And I am Thankful for the benefits that this surgery has brought to me!  

So, who’s next?

I am thankful for my furbabies:  Kobe, Foofoo, and Missy.  They bring such an unconditional love to me.  I was home sick Monday and Missy slept in the bed right next to me.  She even acted a little sad that I went back to work on Tuesday!

I am thankful for my dear friends, Tim and Mike, who have become friends as well.  It is great to have the 2 most important men in my life actually like one another.  

I am also thankful for my surgery every day.

Well guys, it's been an extremly hard couple of weeks for me and it looks like it won't get better for a while, but I am thankful that I get up everyday and start over.  Don't have much more time to write, thinking about you all, Melissa

I am thankful for so many things, but today I'll single out my job. After two weeks away recovering from ankle surgery I returned to a warm welcome and a sense of belonging. My job is very rewarding in that I feel that I actually contribute to the wellbeing of the animals and their owners. I and my partner are vital members of this veterinary team and we are fortunate in that our superiors don't let us forget it. After years of working in thankless jobs it feels good to be appreciated and I am eternally thankful for the blessing.

It seems that a lot of us are weathering storms right now. I'm thankful for a job, my kids, my hubby, my new OH friends and for this surgery. I'm also thankful for having a relationship with God and knowing that He will be with me every step of the way always.

That is a wonderful song.  It has ministered to me in the past year and I think it could be my anthem during this pre-, peri- and post-op!
