:) I am thankful for so many things. I am thankful that I have a home to come to, a husband to keep me company and my Daddy to keep me busy. :D

I am thankful for my 3 children. For my son that is trying, for my daughter who is so level headed, and for my oldest son in prison, thankful that he is doing OK and knowing that he will come home one day.:thumbsup:

I am extra thankful for my beautiful grandchildren,for their unconditional love, and for their special way of making my bad days better. Thank you God, for the children.:yes:


Thanks for the beauty of a sunrise, a butterfly in flight, the leaves on my lawn, the blisters in my palm from raking. Thanks for life.

THANKS PTO FRIENDS! :)

Where do you begin? The holidays are a bit hard for me because both of my parents are deceased. But I have a wonderful son who is my life. I thank God that he is healthy and happy! I thank God for finally getting the man of my dreams to finally see the "light" after 13 years! I thank God for the man he has become whom I knew was there all along! I thank God for being able to stand on my own two feet and having the strength and courage to raise my son pretty much on my own. I thank God for the freedom I have in this country. I thank God for the wonderful people on here who are going through the same thing I am so they know what it is like to experience the lonelyness and sadness. I thank God for the privilege of being able to get up every morning and go to work. I thank God I am not behind bars. :)

Kay and Brandie you summed it all up! I am thankful for all those things(except ths grandchildren,i don't have those yet!)Most of all i amthankful for Jesus dying on the cross for me.I am thankful that he chose to save my husband instead of allowing him to be killed as so many drug offenders are!I am thankful that he called Ronnie into the ministry and that he is going to Bible college.I am very thankful that i get to spend one more holiday with my granny.She has terminal mouth and bone cancer.She is 92 years old and is my best freind.it is very hard to see her sick but I am thankful that God has seen fit to leave her a sound mind.She is very sharp and knows everything.i am thankful that he controls the pain without her having to be on strong drugs yet.i am thankful that my children are being strong whilr their daddy is away.This is our first holiday without him and it is already hard on all of us!! I am thankful that he is holding us together.Without him we are nothing!!!!! there are a million more things that i am thankful for but i would like to post this tonight!!LOL I love all you freinds here at PTO! I know there is always someone here to share a bad day with if need be and I am very thankful for that! Have a blessed holiday.Don't eat to much turkey!!!

There are so many things I am thankful for...and like Janice said...if I attempted to post everything I'm thankful for...ya'll would still be reading this AFTER Thanksgiving. :D

I am thankful for my family (even though some of them work my nerves from time to time...LOL)....and my family here on PTO (I love ya'll). I thank God for hearing my every prayer...and my every cry. He has blessed my life in so many ways...and for that...I'm very thankful!
I'm thankful (sooo thankful) that God sent Kevin to me. I had searched my whole life for that one person I was supposed to spend my life with...and when I least expected it...God sent him to me. Not only did He send me my soulmate...but, He gave me my soulmate, husband, and best friend all in one.
I'm thankful for my "sisters". I was talking to Brandi the other day about this...God sent me 2 wonderful ladies (from PTO) to help me make it through each day. Ya'll are 2 of the strongest women I know...and I love ya'll. Brandi (Lou)...you have been such an inspiration to me. You have helped me make it through each day. You have always been there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to, and somebody to make me laugh. Thank you, sis...(((huggs))). Lonely (you know who you are girl)...you are a crazy, crazy cali girl...but, it's okay. :p You are my "sister" and I'm so thankful God allowed us to cross paths. No matter how bad I'm feeling...you always know what to say to make me smile and laugh...even if it's laughing at something crazy you (or your neighbors) have done! So, thank you, sis....(((huggs))).
My guardian angels...Sue and Lewis....I'm so thankful for ya'll. I have never in my life met anyone like ya'll two...ya'll are such a blessing to me (and Kevin). We love ya'll very much...don't ever forget that.

Last but certainly not least (I knew I would ramble on....LOL). I am thankful for Kevin. :thumbsup: This man is the love of my life, my soulmate, "husband", and very best friend. I honestly don't know what I would do without him in my life. I am just so thankful that we are completely in love with each other...and that we respect each other. We have made it through so much together...and we will make it through this also.

I'll stop now...sorry I rambled on and on...(but, I always do that...right?) :D I love all ya'll and I hope ya'll have a great and safe Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful my husband is safe. That he loves God. That even though we don't share our home yet, we will share a heart Forever. That because of our situation, my husband and I are closer than those who aren't lucky enough to appreciate any time spent together, even if it is "above the elbow". That he found me when I wasn't looking. That he loves me as much as I love him.

I just had to pop in and say I am thankful for Selena (waiting again)!!! She is doing an awesome job as Alabama Forum Leader, especially lately with me out of town and tied up, Sue tied up a lot, and Denise recuperating after surgery! Thank you for all you are doing, missy... I just wanted you to know it has NOT gone unnoticed!!! :thumbsup:
