Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Lori, I think that is a wonderful idea to do a gratitude list.. Came at a good time.. as tonight I am really going crazy with my 2 young boys fighting.. but when you say this it reminds me again, I should be ever so grateful to have them here fighting and I would give everything I had if I could just have their big sister here fighting with them instead of in Heaven.. Now I will try to find some more things I am grateful for: for being healthier for wonderful friends who have helped so much in my hard times. for wonderful family for 5 great years with my precious angel .. although I wanted many more for my 2 little boys to show me how to be a kid again, and how fun just " playing can be! for rain that brings flowers.. love the smell after a good rain for freedom... and all those that have died giving it to us.. and a prayer going out to our troops.. including my little brother who is stationed over in Kuwait right now.. for the internet and support you can find here... there are many many more things... but have to go referee my two little boxers! lol Hugs, Chandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 I am grateful I am still alive to play with my grandchildren. I am grateful I can discuss Mayo Vs Miracle Whip, which means my sense of humor is burgeoning again. I am grateful for all of the intelligent controversy here that keeps my mind active. I am grateful I can constantly forgive my husband. I am grateful I can constantly forgive me. I am grateful for the Internet.
