Well, I'll be honest. I'm having a really hard time right now but in honor of the season I decided to think about the things I'm thankful for.
I came up with:
My health
(physical...since the "mental" is in question)
My Sisters, nieces and nephews (they're awesome)
My dog (since he gives me something to hug)
My job (even though I hate it, it pays the bills and provides insurance)
My bed (because it's soft, warm and comfortable)
National parks (because nature is beauty)
Music (it helps to make bad days good and good days better)
Well... it's not a stunning list by any stretch of the imagination but it's what I could come up with right now.
Anyone what to share what you're thankful for?

* The 12 magical days I spent with my daughter
* Finding my sister 3 months before she died and spending time with her
* My incredibly amazing husband
* My kind, caring, loving friends who dropped everything and drove 5 hours to be with me when I lost my little girl. A woman can't ask for more amazing friends than this.
* My job and my boss and my coworkers
* My dogs. They bring a smile to my face and love me unconditionally.
Good post. It's so easy to get bogged down in the pain and forget the good in life.
I'm thankful for:
My boyfriend, he's so wonderful and loves me so much and I don't know what I would do without him.
My independence.
Being able to go to school studying what I love, and to have the excitement of making music in my days.
My family by choice.
All the people who believe in me, and my talent.
My nephews, who never fail to make me smile, even when they're screaming! :)
Being able to see a bright future for myself.
That I've found the strength to stop cutting after a short relapse.
The healing process, it's so hard and so painful but so beautiful all at the same time, because you learn so much about yourself and the people who are in your support system, and it can make you a completely changed and stronger person.
The beautiful skyline right outside my door.
The whole wide world. :)
