Thankfulness

I know we all go through some very difficult times and circumstances. I have also observed a sense of "thankfulness" among people who experience suffering. That spirit of thankfulness seems to encourage others.

Since Thanksgiving is next week, would anyone like to share what they are thankful for?

I am very thankful that my husband is still with me after a very difficult 2008 healthwise for him. We made hard choices that year, downsized to a 1 bedroom apt, it really was the wise thing to do! I am blessed with 2 great kids, 5 grandkids. I am especially thankful for the wonderful friends I have made on this site, they help me make it thru the MG days...Happy Thanksgiving to all, may your family be blessed in the coming years

I am thankful that the man I was engaged to 32 years ago still married me when he found out I had MG. I am thankful that he has taken care of me in the better and worse. I am thankful that I have three boys, all who were born to me despite MG. I am thankful that I feel better now than I did 31 years ago. I am thankful I have never had an MG crisis. I am thankful that I can walk up steps and be close to normal, whatever that is. I am thankful that after 31 years with MG, I'm still here and God has blessed me.

Dr. Bunn I think this is a wonderful idea!

I am thankful for so many things I don't know where to start.

I'm thankful for having the opportunity to care for two chronically ill parents at home until their passing. I spent so many joyful moments with them nothing could replace that.

For my supportive family and friends for all the help and understanding they have given me during my own struggle with this crazy disease.

For my wonderful doctors who started testing me for MG at the onset of such vague symptoms without looking at me like I have three heads.

For the support and understanding of the many people on this and other MG forums I participate in.

For my warm home, food on my table, and the love and friendship I experience every day.

But mostly I am thankful to God for each and every day. Be it a good day or bad, everyday on earth is truly a blessing!

I am thankful for many of the things mentioned here already.

I am thankful that I am healthy in body and mind, disorder not included of course.

I am thankful that there are so many good people in the world.
