How about we all share one thing we are thankful for ...... I'll start. I am thankful for all the wonderful people on this board that have supported me from day 1 (even though sometimes I have a big mouth haha). I am very grateful to those who reached out to me with love and kindness. Your support means the world to me!

I'm thankful for my daughters who helped me find my smile this evening. It was a day of flares, disappointments, etc., and my anxiety level was pretty high. But they helped cheer me up again.

I'm thankful that Norma and I are able to spend this time in Branson with our Granddaughter for her 3rd Birthday and get away from all the stress and BS in our lives. We got here last night, trip went well, Aidryan is having a ball. She loves our "Away from Home-Home!"

I am thankful for the information and understanding of my medical issues that I have received here on DS. I don't think it would be possible to have received all the info and sharing anywhere else. Knowledge is powerful!

I'm thankful to have a succesful treatment regimen, to have been able to resume an active life, for family and friends to share it with and that my new grandson entered this life as a healthy baby.

I'm thankful for my kids, who still tell me that they love me and will hug and kiss me (even in public!!)

I'm also thankful for my husband, who supports me and defends me to people who think I'm lazy because of the RA. He also still thinks I'm sexy and attractive especially when I don't feel like I am.

I will forever be thankful for everything my teacher, Celia Romm Livermore taught me. She is such an incredible lady.

Even though it's rough getting there every morning, and I'm sore as hell when I get home, I'm thankful to have my job!

Bistro,
This was a postive post so I would appreciate it if you would take your snide comments elsewhere. If you do not like me that is fine, ignore my posts. As I have said before I do not think that bullying and negativity on this board are healthy or welcome.

I personally think B's comment is NOT a snide remark. He's got one of the best senses of humor I know, and I saw a nice touch of sarcasm, with a lot of truth to it. B's not only funny, but also compassionate, cares a lot about this group, and he's semi-intelligent. I'm thankful to have Bistro as my friend.

After having been here Since Tuesday I'm thankful we decided to make the trip to Branson with our Granddaughter. We weren't sure at first if we had the stamina to keep up but so far it is going great. Today is the Chinese Acrobats!!!!!
