Greatful to be part of Life

[tigger_gal]

The other day I turned 38, the day really wasn't special in any way. My husband painted lol and I talked to my best friend on the computer.....
That night I sat here and wondered what do I truley have to be greatful for....
I could tell you horror stories about my life that would make "Nightmare on Elm Street" look like a comedy.....
But.... thats neither here not there becaue I don't want any pity nor do I want to dig up my past, the memories alone are enough to make me cry.....

I am greatful for a beautiful healthy 15year old daughter that I was told to abort by doctors because she would never surive past 2.

I am greatful for everythnig I have endured in life because it has made me a stronger person.

I am greatful for the husband who quit drinking and has been sober for 2 years, and has, went (almost) back to the man I fell in love with 6 years ago.

I am greatful for my parents for always being there for me.

I am greatful for my best friend, because I know I can count on here to cry to, to laugh with, and, to share my happiest moments with, and, my deepest darkest secerets with.

I am greatful for the icn because I have learned alot here and made some great friends.....

I am greatful I have patience, because I really don't know how I would have made it thru everything without them.

I am greatful for my 3 dogs for loving me and accepting me with out asking me any many questions :lmao:

Most of all I am greatful to be alive, despite the fact I resent daily everything that I went thru that I didn't have to.

You know it is nice some times just to take stock of our lives and to really be grateful for the good and the bad. Because we can learn very valuable life lessons from both. Thanks for sharing Cindy, it gave me something to think about.

Great post Cindy, I think it does us good, to think about the many things that we are grateful for in our lives.I know like you I have many things to be happy about, and being able to see the people I love, hear the people I love, and just being alive every day, also sharing my daily life, with my IC family, all make me very grateful. Thanks for posting such a wonderful post Cindy, hugs Iris.:hi: :grouphug:
