That I'm still here, but honestly sometimes not so much. But that I can deal with that feeling more often these days without being paralyzed by it.

For health and being able to walk and talk and see and hear and everything else

For laughter and fun, that I can still have and enjoy both

For the strength that God and God's love gives me, and for his love making me a more empathetic and compassionate and humble person

For a roof over my head and all the other material necessities and luxuries

Family, friends, my dog

For genuinely good decent people

For nature and the everyday simple things
 
My doggie
My friends
One semester down, and only one more to go!
My students, who, though sometimes are the source for my stresses, give me purpose in life
Only 5 months left of my crap assistantship
Meeting new people
God's constant reminding me of my dreams
Having the means to type such a response
 
my health, the health of those close to me
genuine romantic love
a job that is on the verge of killing me, but making me stronger
plenty of food, fun, and friends
a younger sibiling who seems to finally, finally working it all out
trips to Germany, Switzerland, California, and upcoming Anguilla this year
fleeting but revelatory moments of clairty and connection
 
There is so much to be thankful for--I have been reading in the paper this week about the homeless problem in our area--I'm thankful I can take care of myself & have a warm home & food everyday without having to worry about much in my life. I want to feel sorry for these folks but I read some of them make up to $200 a day from people who feel sorry for them. Oh well--Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
 
I'm thankful for...

My family. Yes, they can be exasperating, but I do love them.

My life-enhancing friends. I couldn't make it through without them.

A roof over my head. Food in my cupboards and refrigerator.
Clothes on my back. And excellent health.

People who inspire me. The famous-Bono, the late Audrey Hepburn, and those who may not be great names, but do great things.

Interference, not only for this wonderful forum, but for also getting my writing career back on track. And I'm grateful for the generous people who let me interview them (hi, Lies).

Living in a world where an intelligent woman like myself can get a great education

The St. Joseph's School in Cameroon for giving my life an added purpose

My new kitty cat, Pokey Jones
 
My Family and yes my dog is part of the family also.

Health and Dental insurance.

My photography.

A Job

Being able to get an education

Being hispanic, european and a US citizen. (My mom is from Guatemala, my dad was born in the US but his dads side is from europe and his mom was from Guatemala)
 
Food, shelter and clothing.
Great books.
Music.
My family.
My car
My computer
Intereference.
My church, despite the fact that it can drive me nuts at times.
My trip to Turkey this past May, and another trip to Turkey coming up next year.
My artistic talent and a great studio to practice it in

I am grateful for:

The people in my life, the relationships and love I am able to share

That at birth, I basically won the lotto (comparatively speaking), in the time, place, and circumstances in which I happened to be born

That each new day, I am given an opportunity to try and be a more decent person and make better choices

That there really is no hell
except the hell man has created on earth, or in his own mind

The brilliant, soul bearing posts that many take the time, risks and guts to write in this forum
And that every now and then, some of us, actually do see the humanity in others that are different from us
 
Breastfeeding Threads

My Wife(Apparently Blind enough to think I look like John Cusack)

My children who are gifts from God.

My Church for giving us a place to worship God with others different from us.

The health of my loved ones.

The fact that I have a great job.

Interference - Although I feel my posts have deteriorated over time.

There are to many blessings bestowed on me....that I feel unfworthy of.
 
That I have pretty much everything I really need.

That I have a good deal of what I want.

That I don't have everything I want.
 
^ I think that pretty much says it all actually, but anyhow...

my heritage, for better and for worse

good health

close friends

my students and colleagues

Can't say it better than that!!!
 
Family, friends that let me lean on them, life, death, and finally (perhaps) having learned to let go.

And with that I'm going off to bed. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

have a great time at the concert maycocksean!

Oh, I shall. I shall.

I'm also thankful that the disastorous seven hours lost in the jungles of Saipan yesterday didn't turn into being stuck out there all night!

I'm thankful for some great Saipan cops that helped rescue me and my buddy.
