Life in General

Just my thoughts today.

The holidays are almost upon us and has many people depressed and
feeling sorry for themself. Its the time that we all should be thankful
for the things we do have. We have people who care about us in their
own way even if we think they dont love us. We have people who depend
on us even if they think they dont.

Things to be thankful for vary from person to person but here is some
things to be thankful for.

Life-it is what you make of it and should be lived to the fullest every day
for we never know if tomorrow will come for us.

Friends and Family, weather it be a few or a lot, for they are the ones who
love and care about us they way we are. Often forgiving us for the things we
have done to hurt them. Some times forgiving but not forgetting yet not
bringing it up all the time to hurt us.

Our children, no matter how they treat us, should be looked at as a gift.
It is our responsibility to care for them and teach them how to become
responsible adults, to teach them how to deal with things that life throws
at them. We as parents never stop worring about our child/children, no matter
how old they get.

Our health- it could be a lot worse. I could be worse off than I am and I thank
God each night that I am not worse off.

Internet friends who care for us, like us for the person who we are. We may
never meet face to face and yet we can tell each other any thing and in most cases
not be judged by these people. The ones I have met in person are great. Meeting
them just made our friendship grow stronger.

Our grandkids even if they arent a part of our daily life due to circumstances beyond
their control. One day they will be old enough to decide if they want to see us and spend
time with us. I am thankful that my grandsons and step grand children are a part of our
lives even if we dont get to see the step grand children as much as we do the boys.

And there is so much more to be thankful for depending on what is going on in our
every day lives.

Me? I am thankful to be alive to enjoy the upcoming holidays with my family. Dale
and Nicki will be working nights but will be spending all or part of the day with
me and Nickis boys, Josh and Drake.

We all have our daily problems and it is up to us to learn to deal with them in the best
way we know how. In ways that we wont lose our self respect and in ways
that will hurt us the least emotionally so that we can get on with our lives.
