I know this is way early but tonite I find that my spirits are a bit down and all I seem notice are negative feelings and things that are making me more sad, so… let’s lighten up a bit and start thinking about positive things.
I am thankful that I my 60 mile drive to work each day it thru a lovely mountain road, and the changing colors right now are incredible.
I am thankful that I splurged on the good candy coz I have a whole bowl left over.
I am thankful I have friends who care when I am not at my best.

It’s never too early!
I’m thankful for:
My loving husband and the fun we have together.
My good friends who are always willing to play games, break bread or whatever. Great folks.
Each new day and the ability to see it as an opportunity. (most days!)
Despite my bad week last week, I remain very thankful for the things I have and the life I live.
Cheer up! Even us optimists have bad days

Totally stupid, but puts a smile on my face every time
Aw PurpleCrackwhore, didn’t any trick or treaters show up? I was pretty disappointed too. I had one 5 year old around 6:30 and four young teenagers in good costumes around 8 PM. I’m giving them full-size peanut butter O’Henry’s. Cheer up! Life is good and every day is a gift.
Hi P.C.W.
The things that I am thankful for.
That I married a good woman.
That my son is almost grown and has never been in trouble with drugs or the law.
That I have a steady job.
That I have my health.
I think that I have a lot to be thankful for!
Now if I could only get the C key on this keyboard to work correctly
Peace

The serious thankful list:
A healthy child
A healthy pregnancy
A healthy husband
A supportive husband
A husband that understands that a tired, cranky hungry pregnant wife (is there any other kind?) is not ANGRY AT HIM, just at everything else in general, but cannot give specifics of why she’s such a bitch but manages to keep his chin up as he tucks her in bed and beats a hasty retreat.
Being able to stay at home with our children ( oh, and the dog. I gave up my income to stay at home and nurture the dog.Yeah, sure.)
That my mom is still around for me to call her up with my cooking emergencies just to make her feel needed.
Semi serious:Things I’m thankful for
A dog that listens to me 40% of the time.
That it is nearly winter and I don’t have to mow anymore.
That my Christmas shopping is done.
And for anyone else that has suffered from pregnancy congestion or regular sinus problems, they shall appreciate this: I am very thankful for Sinux nasal spray and Tylenol Sinus Rx.

I am thankful for my boyfriend, Brian. It isn’t love, and six months from now, we probably won’t be dating, but he is a very important person to me.
Whether I need a shoulder to cry on for three hours straight, or just someone to have fun with, he’s there for me. He doesn’t try to understand or change me, he simply accepts me the way I am, and cares for me.

Heh, what can I say? I’m rather wary when it comes to love… I figure that until I’ve found someone with whom I’m ready to share a mortgage, name a goldfish, and even think about raising my three future children, I won’t have the faintest idea of what real love is.
I’m sixteen. I’m still in high school. To hell with love, long-term commitment and joint fish naming… I have the rest of my life for that.
