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- I am thankful for animals. My horse has been the best therapist I have ever had......he is also the most expensive therapist !

B - I am thankful for brandy. It tastes great. It's not like vodka. Not like gin. Not like scotch or bourbon. Combined with beer (shot and a beer) it's very, very good stuff. Sorry if this is against house rules. Take care!

My daughter has been the thread that holds my pieces together. She has been my source of strength and hope over the last 8 years.

I'm thankful for the Opportunities I now have because I'm on a good meds combo. When I was depressed nothing seemed possible, now, gradually, everything is possible.

Well, all I could think for U was unicorns and U. and U are a lot more important. All of U. Even though I feel I'm on the outskirts of the forum, U are very important to me, because in my own way I care very much about all of U. So here's a big hug today for all of U from Owl.
