[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 328834, member: 8226"] TPaul, you are so right. Like you, I am thankful for improved and generally good health for me and my family, medications to help out when things aren't going so well, a relatively secure job, and a comfortable, now peaceful, place to live. Although I had to go into debt to do it, I am so thankful that I was able to finance the new roof I was desperate for a little more than a year ago. As a single mom, I am thankful for learning I have an inner strength and determination I never would have believed 10 years ago that I had. Skills: Just learning limited use of a hammer, screwdriver, and set of pliers was huge for me! Plus learning how to find competent people and coordinate home repairs. Learning to stand up for myself and do what is necessary even when I'm scared. Learning to trust my instincts and be bold sometimes--I never dreamed I would learn to be comfortable with firearms, and qualify for my permit, while training with some of the best in my neck of the woods. I'm proud to be an elementary school teacher, a classical pianist, and a darn good shot with my .357! [Yes, stored in a very secure gun safe.] I shared in another post that my dad (deceased) was a collector of quotes. I keep re-reading many of them. Today's: "If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire--then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience. Life is lumpy. Learn to separate the inconveniences from the real problems. You will live longer and will not annoy other people as much!" Have a great holiday! [/QUOTE]
