What are you thankful for?

W is for Water.... long hot bubble baths, swiming in the sea, watching the waves and water by the beach, lake, river... listening to the rain curled up with a book and hot choc... and save the whales... (or is that only a big thing in Australia)

X - Xanadu........I use to be a huge fan of Olivia Newton John!

Z - zzzzzz's as in good sleep. I have both sleep apnea (CPAP machine out of action right now) and Insomnia, different conditions that togther make life and being a person recovering from Bipolar and other illnesses damn hard. But last night I had a GOOD sleep and boy, is it amazing to feel like what it is like to have a good sleep and the effect, especially on my mental state. Yey for sleep!!!!

I love this thread so much - could someone start at A again please?????????

Hey we forgot Y!

Y - Yearlings..........yes I know I said horses already, but they are sooooo cute!

Thanks everyone who participated in this thread. It was great for me to remember things that I'm thankful for..........so would you like to do it again???

I got this idea from a book I'm reading. The author suggests going through the alphabet and naming one thing you are thankful for starting with each letter of the alphabet. Not sure if people are interested in this, but I thought I'd try.

A - Airplanes......boy do I ever wish I could go on a trip!

B
Books,my healthy escape

C

My Car. Couldn't get to and from work or dr's appointments without it. It's 11 years old now, but still runs great.

Hehe, and here I thought for sure it'd be Xanax! (that's what I get for missing a day here -- catching up now though...)

D
I'm thankful for my dogs. They are faithful companions even though they are stubborn at times.

Energy - the bodily and mental type, but also the energy of the Universe and Nature, which I am trying to cultivate as my spiritual beliefs.

F - Friends! I've never had any healthy "family" relationships, so my friends are very important to me.

K-
Kisses from my son that are filled with love.

L
Lamictal. It's made such a big difference for me.

I am thankful for my friends here at Psychcentral who understand me when nobody else does.

Today I am thankful for kind friends.

Innerzone, I'm with you on Lamictal. I wouldn't be here without it in my huge snd complex meds mix. I'm on the highest dose of Lamictal and everything else.

M

I'm thankful for my Mom. She's been very supportive from the start when I first told her of my diagnosis.

Niceness ! An uncle of mine's favourite saying was 'it's nice to be nice' - he was right

O- October.......well the band Blue October actually! The lead singer, Justin Furstenfeld has bipolar as well and I just love their music.

P
Phones. Cell phones with texting specifically. A sweet text from my BF can really make my day (or at least my hour, lol!)

(Bracken.... I know that saying as "it's nice to be nice to the nice" So true.)

Q- Quarter Horses!

I am thankful for calm, sunny winter days and for living in such a beautiful part of the world. Rain is good too.

R - Romance.......having had any in a while, but I am a fan!

I am thankful for the company of my two little dogs.

S - Sex.......having had any in a while, but I am a fan!
