Thanks for what?

I've read that George Bush says that a WW111 is probable if Iran attacks Israel. Al Gore is preaching about global warming. Christians like me are beinning to prepare for the Rapture. The Stock market is tumbling and gas prices are near the century mark. You want to add anything else to this fine list of what to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day. Here's your chance.

Well, despite all of those things, I am still thankful for my family and friends. Just because the world has gone to shit doesn't mean we can't be thankful for various things and people. After all, how scary would it be to be without one's friends and family when all this crap begins to go down?

I am thanful for my family and friends and for having the Lord in my life. But sometimes this political stuff does something to my way of thinking. All by bp manic episodes were all politically and relgiously based.

Ignore the political stuff. It really isn't worth the stress it will bring to you.

I remember when I was growing up that often we had political discussions at the dinner table. It was sort of in our blood. Sometimes I like to press people's buttons and see what they think about things.

Be thankful for the gift of life it self. Life is beautiful, just stop and look at all the wonderful things in it.

Sometimes life is beautiful but when your severly depressed and in mental pain its not too much fun. Sometimes its good and sometimes its not.

I agree Raymond, it isnt a fun or positive place when we are depressed. I hope you are not depressed. Try to smile with me, just for a second. Look at that great smile Sean has, how can you help but not smile?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
