Great thread!

I am thankful very much for ALL of the following things:

-My health and the health of my family/friends

-My beautiful girlfriend, who I love more than anything

-That i live somewhere that is safe.

-Simply because I get to live...I am thankful for just being alive and living my life everyday.

I'm never good at these lists. I always forget something.

- my loving partner, husband, I'll never regret making it official. I am thankful for every day we share.

- my daughter and granddaughter. 'nuff said

- my mother, my sister and my two surviving brothers. Especially you, Mom. Without your guidance and parenting skills, we would be merely strangers related by blood.

- my late brother. I miss you like crazy. You are the coolest person I ever knew. I didn't have to be brave when you were around. I think about you every day and wish I could have been there for you as you were for me.

- my late half-sister. I wish I had known you earlier, but in our short time we connected. I'll never forget

you.

- My best friends (one since grade 5)

- My late father

- My career

- My loving cat

And I hate to be shallow, but - my finacial security/solvency

- My parents, without them I don't know where I'd be. They have been my financial support, emotional support and my lifeline for a long time. I'm not sure what I'd do without them.

- My online friends - some who have become my BFFs and I am so thankful to have them in my life. They are my rock and we've been through a lot together in the last 6 years.

- My dogs - they are my roommates and two of them have been with me for 14 years, the other one has been with us for 6 years. They're my kids and I love all three of them very much.

- My family - we are a dysfunctional bunch but we all love each other, even if we don't say the words.

- Soaps - if it weren't for GH, I wouldn't of met some of the most wonderful people in the last 6 years. And if it weren't for Chad Brannon, I wouldn't of met my two closest friends. He is truly someone special to me. It's really amazing how GH has brought so many good things to me - SON, my fanfic, my two closest friends, traveling and meeting a lot of wonderful people, and overcome fears that I never would of overcome if it hadn't been for my GH travels. Sounds weird, but true.

Those are the things that I'm thankful for.

-My family. My mother keeps me sane... I'll probably shoot myself when she dies. Seriously. My two sisters, who are amazing and supportive with anything I do. My neices and nephews who are the closest thing to having my own children without having to feed them, change their sh!tty diapers or buy them clothes. My grandmother, who's completely old-fashioned and redneck, but I love her anyway because she loves me. All my life, I've been surrounded by women that I adore.

-The fact that I've never lost anyone (by way of death) that I love, so far. I don't deal very well with loss, so I imagine that when this happens, it'll be no easy feat.

-I'm healthy, and when I wake up every day, the worst I feel is sleepiness; no pain.

-I make enough money to where I can live comfortably without having to worry about how I'll pay the next bill.

-I now have a car with WORKING A/C AND HEAT!!

-My DVD collection includes the entire series of "The Golden Girls," which never ceases to make me smile and feel better when I've had a sh!tty day.

-Soap operas, no matter how bad they may get. I'm also thankful for forums such as these so that I can share my passion for soaps with others who feel the same way!

-And finally, perhaps what I'm most thankful for above all else... free internet porn. God Bless XTube.
