Thankfulness
 
I thought it might be a fun thread to say what someone did for us that put a smile on our face.

Wheteher it be kind words from a stranger to someone helping you with a task that needed to be done.

What are you thankful for?

What am I thankful for? My wife.

What put a smile on my face today? The new neighbor across the street from us thanked me for helping him fix his mower.

Bill :)

The tow truck driver and supervisor that rescued us late last night when our 55 Buick quit at the crest of a hill, and would not restart.

I'm thankful for many, many things. One of the main things I'm thankful for is my health and my husband's health. Without our health, nothing else really matters. I've been blessed in my life. Many times over, I've been blessed.

I'm thankful for my dear husband...who loves to laugh as much as I do.

So many things come to mind. Hubby, home, family, friends and all the gifts and opportunities that have been placed before us over the years.

New baby coming
 
I am thankful that I was able to join in the fun, via Skype, for my daughter's baby shower in Raleigh. What fun! One more month or so until baby Brynn arrives!

There are two people that put a smile on my face today. The first was you for having inquired to someone this morning (who passed the message on to me) your concern as to if I was ok or just taking a break away from TOTV for a while, and for your email communications with me as I explained to you the reasons for my absence from the forums.

The second person is the woman I married forty-five years ago today! I am fortunate enough to never-ever have as much as a single day that I was not thankful for her or regretted having made the vows of marriage with her! However, she put the biggest smile on my face exactly thirty-six years ago tomorrow when she delivered our son Michael, who we both love very much! Honey, I love you and am very thankful for you and Mike!

I am thankful for my entire family, my wife, my children, my grandchildren, my niece and nephew and grandniece. They are all well and everyone is managing their lives successfully at the moment. When they are all doing well - I am doing well. Thanks Joe for the thread, and congratulations Skyguy, we celebrated 45 years in June.

I am thankful for the volunteers at my church who stayed to the end of our rummage sale on Saturday to clean up -- we got out of there in record time. :). I am thankful for my job (even though I grouse about it), and that my sisters and their husbands are employed. I am thankful that my father remains in good health. And I am thankful that my two oldest nieces have traveled safely this summer outside of the U.S. and have returned home to start back to college this week.

I am thankful that I finally got a final diagnosis for my illness after 6 months, 11 doctors and uncounted tests and procedures. Thanks from the bottom of my heart, Dr Barbara Shapiro and University Hospitals in Cleveland, OH.

What makes me smile? Every single day! My two little Toy Fox Terriers, pain or shine, can put a smile on my face. Who says you can't buy love.

God bless the animals in shelters.


2BNTV, By the way, what a great idea for a thread. I am really enjoying reading this one and just want to thank you for thinking of this. We need more uplifting threads like this one. Give yourself a great big pat on the back.

Great post Sky!!!!!!

Thank you for your kind words.

Happy anniversary and b-day for your son.

I feel blessed every day for my son who turned out to be a terrific human being. Love him dearly.

Joe :wave:
