I am thankful for...

[Free2BMe]

I have been down in the dumps for some time now. Family business issues led to personal financial woes then found out our 10 month old pug has a disease in the joint of left hip and the deteriorating ball in the socket needs to be removed. My mom's boyfriend is now in the hospital and keeps having strokes. They told her today there is no chance of him making it. Just seems like one thing has led to another...and on and on and on.

I've let it build up, stress me out and take me to the point of withdrawing from everyone around me. Today, for whatever reason, I felt my strength returning, which brings back my fighting determination. I refuse to let it all get the best of me and you can bet if I do fall, that sarcastic humor will be there to offer me a cushy landing. LOL

So I want to apologize to anyone and everyone who I have neglected here these last couple of months and to let y'all know that I am soo very thankful that you have come into my life. It may be just a little box with a bunch of words on the screen...but the love, caring and generosity still pours forth as if we've been family all our lives. Thank you.

I hope each of you has a lovely Thanksgiving. May you all get stuffed then feel miserable for hours.


p.s. Feel free to use this to share whatever you may be thankful for. Orrrr...print it out, wad it up and use for toilet paper. Your choice.

Gosh Free, I must have got some dust in my eyes while I was reading your post. Or maybe there's a danged cat around somewhere. Dust and cats make my eyes water and my nose all runny.

Well dahlin' I know everyone here is praying for you or sending your their good vibes or whatever their preference may be and all of it is good and I'm sure it will help.

I suppose that to some we might appear as "just a little box with a bunch of words on the screen," but I know everybody here genuinely loves and cares about you. That's a fact. And I for one am very glad to hear that you've decided to stand up and fight. I like that.

I'm sure everybody on this Forum has their own pain and burdens they carry with them every day ... and the rest of us more than likely never know it. But your plate has been really loaded lately and your decision to not let it take you down is a brave one. I admire you immensely.

So I think I'm going to dedicate this fine Thanksgiving Day to one of my dearest friends, Free2BMe, and to her fighting spirit and that heart of hers with so much love in it.

I'm a little late to this thread Free, but I wanted to let you know I'm sending you an internet hug too!
You always cheer ME up with your funny words in the little boxes, and I miss you when you're not around.
Be well & keep smiling when you can!
