I am thankful simply to be here to see this Thanksgiving. There were many months this year when that was not expected to happen.

I'm thankful for my son's adoptive mom, who took pictures today and already sent them to me! I'm thankful she's so willing to share him with me and took the trouble to find me.

I'm thankful for gainful employment at a job that I like -- most of the time.

I'm thankful for PC, and for Doc John, who went above and beyond to help me out while I was trying to recover from near-death enough to handle a full-time job again.

I'm thankful for the T's and pdocs who have given of their time, expertise, and personal experiences to help me get better.

I suppose I'm thankful for my family, though it takes me awhile most of the time to agree to that

While there are a couple of people here who actively hate my guts -- what I've ever done to them, I'm not sure, but there you are -- I'm grateful for the friends I have at PC, who check on me when I seem not to be doing so well, and offer a shoulder to cry on and the understanding that comes only with first-hand experience with this crap.

I'm thankful for football season, even though the Packers suck , but am already counting the days to spring training.

I'm thankful I live half a block from the Leinie's brewery (cmon, I have to find *something* positive about living here!)

There's undoubtedly plenty more, but I just got home and I need a cold beer and a hot bath! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Love, Candy
