Yesterday was a yucky day for me. I found I was quite down in the mouth. We all have days like these and we should feel like we can come onto this site and spill it all without being judged or made to feel bad for having a bad day. I also feel that there is much to be greatful for and especially on those dark days it would be good to find that one shred of light and post it. It is a lot easier for me to see the positive and progress on the good days. On days like yesterday, it is harder. All the more reason for me to work hard and try to find the positive. So here goes: Yesterday, (November 20th) the good in yesterday was I was able to get out of bed and shower. I am homeschooling my daughter this year. I was able to do school with her. Today (November 21st) we'll see what it brings! I hope it brings good things to all of you.

I am greatful that I was able to get out of bed and go to my sons school and see him be awarded honorable mention for photo's he took for an art contest. We are celebrating this same sons birthday today. I'd wanted to bake him a cake. Tried but was not able to. I am greatful for a husband who understood this was too much for me so ran out and bought our son a cake.

Be grateful things weren't worse. A hard one to swallow but I am finding peace every time I can get to acceptance....or something close to it. Can't think about "what we used to be like". Gotta think about where we are now. That's a day to day struggle. I'm thankful I don't have to struggle through this alone. This web-site lets me know I am not crazy (all these consequences after contracting the virus)!

I'm grateful he was discharged last night and he is running around and smiling again at home.

Glad to hear he is home and feeling better. That IS good news! November 23rd, my nephew is getting his eagle today and I get to go! (If I'm good and take a nice long nap........)

I am so grateful to be alive today and to have another day to be with my family and friends. I definitely have a greater appreciation for life and what it has to offer. I don't take it for granted anymore.

Actually, I am grateful for having a break in sickness for the last few months. I better knock on wood now. The other day I was grateful that our air mattress had lasted us so long... two days later, it deflated for some reason. (we still can't find the hole!) We will have moved 7 times in the last 13 months... not too grateful for that. We've dealt with more slumlords than I can count on one hand... and now our apartment is being sold and the new owner wants to live in our place, so we will be spending the holidays moving. Yay.... again. (we just unpacked our last boxes last week...now we have to repack...ugh!) So I am very grateful for my other half, his patience and our friends that help us move. And to have my dog back. I sure missed that little guy. Half full or half empty? I pick half full!

Sometimes were to hard on ourselves, we over think the situation were in. Be good to yourself, Happy Thanksgiving Jack Raney Last Edited By: jack raney 11/26/08 15:04:56. Edited 1 times.

I am grateful for family cooking the big turkey dinner and inviting us over so I didn't need to cook anything. November 28th. I am grateful that the large accident on the freeway yesterday that we were seconds behind didn't involve us as we were trying to drive home. People, please do NOT combine drinking and driving........it isn't worth it....... Once again I am reminded as we watched Life Flight take off last night with one of the victims......it could always be worse. I may have had a bad day yesterday with multiple seizures but I was alive, with my husband and children, and we weren't hurt in the accident. Interesting how things work. As we were loading up in our suburban my husband was looking for a CD. I kept thinking, "who cares, let's just go. It is late and we've a long drive ahead of us." That delay....my husband looking for that CD saved us. AND, now my husband is out with our children today cutting down a Christmas tree in the mountains. I am grateful for fun traditions and a husband who works hard to keep them going even when I can't. That is all that matters. Family and the memories we make with them.

We just saw the pics of the cars on the news...that looked horrible. I'm thankful for a Jeep to go splashing through the mud on muggy days.

I think I'd gone about two weeks without. I'm not sure what triggered them. I was at my sister in law's house resting on the couch. Everyone was downstairs watching a movie and they have one of those woofer speaker things. I could feel it vibrating through my chest and then I felt the "aura" and knew they were coming. I keep wondering if it was the speakers that set them off again. Who knows. Thank you for offering to help. Grief woman! With everything you are going through yourself! Nothing like the sick taking care of the sick. How are YOU doing? November 29th, I am grateful for people like you, Gearhead who are caring and thoughtful and offer your help when you need just as much help if not more. I am also grateful for a husband who has the patience of Job because his wife sent him with all of the kids yesterday to go and get a permit and then go and cut down a Christmas tree......only to find out that the several hour drive was for nothing.........the permits go on sale today........"Hee, sorry honey"........so he loaded everyone up today and went yet again to try and get a permit (there are only 100 for sale) and help the kids cut down a tree.......just because I'm a snot and I don't want to put up our dumb artificial tree that we already have that would be a whole lot more environmentally friendly and all that ya da ya da........because I asked him to..........
