I've just been through the worst year ever. And I would not have missed it for the world. I'm grateful to have had the experiences, learned, grown and
lived to tell.
Could be worse... could be raining.

I am grateful today that I can sit upright without feeling like I'm going to fall over!
I'm grateful that Jennifer's book is off to print - yay!
I'm grateful I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. I'd be more grateful if I wasn't drenched in sweat - but hey, gotta leave something
for tomorrow, right?
Love and stuff,
Michy

At this point, Robert, it won't be sprinkled - it'll be gushed! ugh!
but that's good news - right? That's what everyone keeps telling me - they say it means my fever is breaking. Look, break or don't break, but quit
'breaking'. I'm still not eating much, belly is oogey, and I'm still dizzy and lightheaded, but at least I feel a little like me and am getting a
little work done.
Lynn thinks I have the flu. All I know is, three times since November I've done steroids and three times since November, I've gotten sick - I'm
thinking steroids and I just aren't compatible. It's a real shame too; they killed the pain. I'd rather be in pain than be sick all the time
though.
(pout) sucks to have to choose!
Love and stuff,
Michy

I'm grateful Michy is better, too. Michy I'd bet it is the flu, since I don't know how BratBoy could catch the steroids.
I'm grateful my toy poodle, Pierre, survived the 10 degree night outside. I worried about him, a lot. I wish the stubborn dog would come in the house.
He used to come in from time to time, until I had the carpet taken up and replaced with laminate everywhere except the bedrooms. Both dogs hate
sliding around on slick floors. Pierre is my rescue dog who is so shy you can't get around him, so I can't just pick him up and bring him in. It's
supposed to be even colder tonight, so I know I'll worry more. But I'm grateful I have him and Sophie, and my three cats.

(chuckle @bratboy catching steroids!) I know, you're all probably right about that, but I'm sure being on the steroids didn't help any this go-round.
BratBoy is feeling a little better - he actually slept a little this morning and then woke up saying he wanted pizza - teenagers! I'm thinking when he
starts wanting pizza, he's got to be feeling better.
Ryan's sick now too (pout)....
I told Lynn, flat out, she's just not allowed to get sick - period. No sickie for Lynnie.
So far, she's listened... :: keeping fingers crossed :: and for that I a grateful!
Nancy, maybe your puppy will come inside tonight.... you can always put a box and blankie out for him as a wind/cold break. Warm thoughts for
Pierre.
(((((ANDI)))) I'm glad I'm feeling a bit better too!
Love and stuff,
Michy

As far as my puppy goes, there are three outbuildings, large ones, where he can get back in if he wants. He prefers to sleep in a chair on my covered
front deck. He has wallowed out a hole in the heavily padded cushion and sleeps there. He had a box with padding there, but refuses to get in it. He
used to come inside occasionly before I had the floor changed out. When he is inside he'll sleep in bed with me, but I can't get him to come in any
more. And if I try to catch him, he just runs away.

AW! I had a poodle, Sophie. I miss her still. She had a mind of her own, too. All my dogs now are rescues. Bless you for taking them on. They may have
issues - but then, who doesn't?
Which reminds me, I'm grateful for my dogs, issues and all.

Today I'm grateful Pierre survived another 10 degree night and is in good spirits. And I'm grateful my water didn't freeze. My neighbor just now came
and filled up their water jugs again. Their water is frozen again. I keep mine dripping and so far so good. Tonight is supposed to be the coldest so
far, 0. Then it's supposed to start warming up. I'm grateful my house is snug and warm and has unfrozen water!

I'm grateful we could afford those new tires for my car. Nice not having to put air in 'em every week. And better still, the new ones can handle at
least a little snow.
Also grateful I got the printer fixed! It's a good day that starts out with something getting done.
I'm dying to read Bubba Goes National.

Bubba Goes National is a cute book! It's at the printer right now - we're expecting the galley from them on Tuesday - so you guys should be getting
them really soon! I'm so excited to see this one in person, so to speak!
Love and stuff,
Michy

We have had a really bad year here too. Husband lost job, car got repo'd, all our savings are gone and we had to go on food stamps.
But I am grateful we still have our home. Our financial crisis pulled me back into writing for money. I found this great forum. I am growing in my
freelance writing. And I am so grateful to be making new friendships.

My husband got layed off too, sorry to hear things are like that for you.
My husband got transferred to Florida after four months no work and we were trying to move there since May, had an offer on a house and all. He's been
in FL ever since. I went to visit twice.
Literally hours before we signed the loan for that house, he found out he was going to lose that job too. So now, he has to wait for something up here
to open up so he can transfer back home.
Sunday night, had to rush 20 yr old daughter to the ER with chest pains. all this time we were told she had anxiety attacks or was just looking for
attention. This time, they caught it. She has SVT, some nerve thing making her heart race, she was born with it.
Said they almost had to stop/restart her heart, but sedatives did the trick of slowing it down. she'll have to be on meds from now on.
Thank God, she's okay though, could have been much worse. Still, hard dealing with this - all of it - alone. Hard for her, hard for him, too.
It's just been one thing after the other, every week, every day.
I won't bore you with everything else. At least we didn't sell this house. The savings are gone, the credit cards are taking a hit.
But I have a lot to be glad for, my kids are okay, there's food, a roof overhead, and we're warm and safe. And again those tires. I got to the
hospital.

I read in here and it does help. When you arent feeling great, it does help to know that others are facing problems too and they still have found
gratitude.
With me, it feels like one thing after another, but I am grateful for a lot. One thing I am grateful for today is the people in the tiny church we go
to. They are such wonderful people. They haven't done anything but just be who they are and tell me what a wonderful mom I am (without even knowing
about the newest one) and they constantly tell me how great my kids are and that I am a great parent. You have no idea just how GOOD that makes me
feel. Every mom needs that. Church is also just a good thing for our family. I know many people aren't into it, but I love it and I am very grateful
for it right now.
I am also grateful that I can argue with the best of them and saved our car from repo, they gave us till feb 5th, so hopefully we can get the income
tax money by then.
I am grateful for my health. So many people I know are facing health issues and I am grateful I am in good health, especially with another baby
coming.
I am grateful my husband and my kids and a lot of other stuff I cant think of right now. Oh yeah, I have quit smoking again and hubby has joined in so
we are on day 6! yay! Yeah I'm grateful for that too.
As a side note, due to the pregnancy and the not smoking I have become very very very grouchy and I am grateful I have become strong enough to just
walk away when I get mad. I am a fighter and am always the one who yells and throws a fit, but no not now, I just tell the hubby I am going to take a
nap and then I do. lol. Its nice.
I'll probably be back in the next few days to write some more!

Yeah, it was sort of a surprise. In one thread Michy had a friend who saw my pic and asked if I was pregnant. This was in Dec. And I was like no
way... then about two weeks ago I start REALLY having some symptoms. I was having them before I just ignored them. Anyway, wha la! baby number five!
I know I sound happy right now, but its a very very big adjustment for me. I'm really freaking out on the inside. lol.

Lea Ann, yeah we did have the retreat in Dec. I figure it was right around that time, probably right before then. I'm not sure now though, cause I'm
HUGE. It's weird.
Anyway, I wanted to write that today I am grateful for income tax returns. We just went and had our taxes done and we are getting the best return
EVER!!!! I mean, so good that we are going to pay off our car, get all the stuff we need and possibly make a trip to CA and stop at Disney Land! I'm
so happy to finally have my car paid for! Whooo hooo!

WOW Jenn, that is fabulous!!! I am so happy for you. What a great feeling to have the car paid off!! and Disney Land in CA happens to be one of my
favorite places in the world, we went there every other summer when I was a kid when we visited my Grandmother in Ojai, CA. I think her farm is now a
spa. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Hehe, that's probably one of your favorite places in the world BECAUSE you were a kid. Go there again as an adult who can appreciate horribly rude
people and nasty long lines, along with astronomical prices. 
I seemed to be looking down from an immense height upon a twilit grotto, knee-deep with filth, where a white-bearded daemon swineherd drove about
with his staff a flock of fungous, flabby beasts whose appearance filled me with unutterable loathing.

Yeah, that is my main concern about Disney Land. I am not going to have any fun there. The kids will love it though. We are still deciding about it.
We may just do the road trip and go see some sights. I NEED to get away for a little while. I am also looking at cribs and carseat's today. Our house
was so small we didnt have room for a regular crib, but I demanded that we have one for the new baby. The car seat Brody used is out of the
regulations now so, we have to get a new one.
Today I am grateful for my mom!!! I spilt coffee with cream and sugar into my computer and it died. She revived it by taking it to her place and
working a miracle.

Today I am grateful for a warm, snug house, and for getting stocked up with everything I need. I'm grateful for flashlights and candles (only had to
use them for an hour so far) I'm grateful I can look outside and admire the beauty of the ice-covered trees without having to get out in it. And I'm
grateful for the neighbor who called from town to see if I needed anything from the store. And I'm grateful for the same neighbor who I can call on to
feed my dogs and cats when I need to be out of town. If not for him, I could never go anywhere, since my grandson is away in the Army now.
I hope all y'all are snug and warm in this winter weather.
Jenn, do twins run in your family? Seems like there are lots of twins around these days.

Nancy, there aren't many twins in this family. My sister was pregnant with twins and lost them at about 29 weeks. It was the fathers side that the
twins ran on for her though.
Actually, my husbands grandfather was a twin. That is the only one I know of and he is a fraternal twin.
If I have twins I am not going to be a happy person. I have always wanted them, but not now that I already have four kids.

Disparage not the Winter snow
It sits upon your roof
And insulates your house below
Be thankful for the biting cold
It makes for puffy snow
Which lightens shovels when you're old
And lofty winds that chill your bones
Well bugger them
But really, two out of three ain't bad

Today I'm grateful I have arms, because even the severe amount of pain I'm experiencing from all this chopping ice and shoveling is better than not
being able to type, or hold a book, or cook something experimental or give hugs.

I, Corpsicle
I am a frozen corpse.
I'm six feet under ground.
My coffin is too short.
No flowers on my mound.
No room to spin if I get mad
The lining's all in tatters.
Reflection of the life I had.
But none of that crap matters.
At least in dead of Winter time,
I'm grateful in these terms,
It's far too cold for goo or slime,
And I'm not food for worms!

This is a great thread - thanks everyone for posting here
It's been difficult for me to be grateful. My daughter was suddenly admitted to MCV hospital on January 22nd. She's 11. She had lost weight and
been really lethargic and grumpy. I took her to the doctor and they admitted her as her glucose level was 550.
They diagnosed her with Type I diabetes. We have been really struggling as getting a diagnosis like that turns your whole world upside down. now our
days consist of monitoring glucose levels and giving insulin shots and monitoring every single bite of food she puts in her mouth and ongoing daily
discussions with doctors, nurses, and school officials
I know there will be light in all of this but it is just tough to see it right now. I guess I can be grateful that I know I'll eventually be able to
see that light. Maybe that will be my next blog.

A clear diagnosis before blindness or amputations.
Well established treatment regimens
People like my Mom, who was a teaching nurse at the Joslin Diabetes Clinic in Boston.
The massive amount of research that has been done and is being done.
I'm very sorry that this has so effected your life, but there are some things you can be very grateful for.

Exactly true Ned - and thanks. There is light and hope. It's just tough to see it initially when exhaustion and confusion sets in but I know it is
there! And most importantly that we did catch it well before there was any type of permanent compications.

Susan, I'm very sorry to hear that. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but she'll be old hand at regulating her food and sugar in less than a year
and life will settle down and it'll just seem another thing.... and the whole family should eat healthier because of it, which might be a blessing
currently in disguise.
Use this as an opportunity for you and your daughter to learn and cook and plan meals together as fun adventures, not drudgeries, and learn how to
cook healthier and pick better foods - make it a game, like I said, an adventure, and it will take on a whole new meaning!
She and you are getting good juju thoughts coming your way! Sugar free juju!
Love and stuff,
Michy

Richard Meets Richard
A needy man was walking the street, looking as desperate as his situation. A stranger walking by paused and said, "Excuse me! You
look like you could use some help."
"Well, the truth is," said the needy man, "I am very hungry, and I have no money. I can't find a job, and I simply can't bring
myself to beg or pan-handle."
"A proud man. A man who still maintains his dignity in the face of despair. I can appreciate your fortitude, and although I can't
offer you a job, I can help you out for right now. Here." said the second man, handing the first a hundred dollar bill.
"I don't know what to say... I'm certainly in no position to turn this down ", said the first, overwhelmed by the second man's
generosity.
"Thank you! Thank you, very much!"
"Oh, don't thank me", said the second man, "I've been blessed by the Lord. Thank him."
"If it's all the same... I'd prefer to thank you" , insisted the first man. "I'd thank the Lord if he hadn't already taken my job
and my wife away from me."
"I gave you a hundred bucks. All I asked in return was for you to thank God, and you can't bring yourself to do that? Gimme that!",
said the second man, snatching the bill from the needy man's hand. And with that the second man strode away, leaving the first as he had been before
they met.
I am grateful that I am neither of those men.

Over the Edge
I board my tall ship, once again
The anchor is aweigh.
Will tomorrow bring a gale
Or bright and sunny day?
Bold new adventure's what I seek.
And strange new lands to find?
Launched on spying some antique,
This voyage of my mind.
Maps once proclaim'd, "Here monsters be!"
Out well past marker buoy.
I know what lurks in such a sea:
Imagination's joy!

Today I am grateful for the miracle of books!
My eldest son said, "Hey Mom," to me when he was on my bed reading this morning. I turned around and he looked at me all big-eyed and said, "When I
read this book... it's like there's not even a book here!" I looked at him like he was a total nut for a second before he continued. "It's like I
can't even see the pages and the words. I can see the forest, with the cabin by the lake... and the two boys fishing and can almost hear them talking
inside my head." Then he got a big smile and said, "This is what you were always telling me about with books, wasn't it?"
Yay!
Earlier this week he finally decided that writing is fun. He's working on his first novel! I told him we'd publish it (get a copy through Lulu) if he
gets it over 30 pages. He's excited to put his book on the shelf next to mine. And now this.
A miraculous week.

Write on! That is so super cool!
Today I'm grateful that I have all my arms and legs. I have to change the track-bar in my Jeep today because my old one snapped, and I'm really
thankful that I can just go out there and do that, without much hassle. I have the knowledge, I have the tools, I have the ability. Now I just need
some patience.
I seemed to be looking down from an immense height upon a twilit grotto, knee-deep with filth, where a white-bearded daemon swineherd drove about
with his staff a flock of fungous, flabby beasts whose appearance filled me with unutterable loathing.

Today I am grateful that spring is here, even if it brings storms. I trust God will protect me through the upcoming turbulent weather. I am grateful
the row of daffodils along my front fence is bursting into bloom for everyone to see. They always make me feel cheery as I leave or come home. I'm
grateful I'm about through with my novel and a good way through my other writing 'homework'.
Susan, how is your daughter doing?

Nancy, spring has sprung here too - the pear tree is blooming with little white flowers - not quite full yet, but it's getting there. Everything is
starting to turn from brown and lifeless to green and soft and beautiful.... I love this time of year, but it's particularly nice not being in West
Texas, where everything is brown and lifeless year-round. It's really gorgeous here.
I'm grateful for sushi - had a nice meal last night and really enjoyed it. I'm grateful my son is becoming a young man and isn't a 'little kid'
anymore. I have always loved him and enjoyed being with him, but now I'm really beginning to enjoy his company on a more grown up level, and not a
'mom and kid' level, and I had forgotten how wonderful that time was with my daughter and I'm enjoying it now with my son.
I'm grateful for kettle corn. Yum!
I'm grateful I skipped going to the doctor today even though I know I need to go soon.... today, I just needed to not go. I'll go on Friday instead,
but I'm grateful or today!
And I'm grateful Jason's Deli delivers, 'cause I'm about to order something from them, and they have the absolute best organic foods with no HFCS and
all natural ingredients. REAL food just tastes so much better!
Love and stuff,
Michy

I'm grateful that though I continue to feel lost, I feel more comfortable in my own skin again. I feel a small sense of pride and freedom I haven't
felt in a while. It feels pretty darn decent!

The wild and wiggly, whiny thing,
It lurks beneath my bed.
The wild and wiggly, whiny thing,
At night, its eyes glow red.
The wild and wiggly, whiny thing,
It terrifies the night.
The wild and wiggly, whiny thing,
From perches, it takes flight.
The wild and wiggly, whiny thing,
Will sometimes need a nap.
Then cuddly, purring sleepy thing
Will curl up on my lap.

I tried mature, rational, adult. Read the end of Don Quixote to see how that worked out.

Ned- love it!
I'm grateful for an "adventure friend." Every month we get together and do something new outdoors. Today we hiked an old wagon road... about a 4 mile
hike. Then we went to her house and tried apple and cheese burritos with green tomato- apple chutney. We had ice cream with cranberry vodka cordial
poured over it. Then we knitted, crocheted, and talked books. The "series" is becoming known (to us) as Joan and Ellen's Excellent Adventures. Not too
original, but we are having a great time.
