I am very thankful today to look back on the posts from last week and see people who were thankful . Y'all made me SMILE !!
I am also thankful that the "Positive Reconciliation Stories" thread moved one post CLOSER to 28 pages...THANKS Notaboringwife!!!
More friends of mine contracted Covid...but thanks to the monoclonal antibody infusions...they have ALL recovered without having to go to the hospital...Thank You God!!! This therapeutic treatment works WELL...and hopefully it will be more widely used to keep more people OUT of the hospital.
My H and I are doing amazingly well this past year...and I am very THANKFUL that we have a somewhat normal...most would say boring ...marriage. Only...it is MORE than the normal marriage we had before infidelity . I am LOVING it !!!

Covid hit my home and today is the day we can leave quarantine. It really puts R to the test when we are all home not feeling well and our boy with autism is swinging from the rafters like a monkey.
We have done well my W has been so good to me keeping me medicated and hydrated.

Thankful for SI being such a big part of my healing.
For years here, I would drop by to see how folks were doing and get hit with triggers and reminders.
I think this week was the first time I checked in and was just able to try and pay a little forward — no flashbacks or triggers. Nothing. Zip.
I just see people in pain, in a place I used to be (for at least 3 years) and I get to honestly relate to them that healing from the horror show is possible.
It’s weird not ‘needing’ to be here everyday in hopes of finding answers or simply sharing my misery.
A lot of help here. So many different ways to move forward from those worst days with hundreds of kindred spirits sharing their experiences.

I'm thankful I don't have a gluten allergy as well as for bread and beer.
Love is not a measure of capacity for pain you are willing to endure for your partner.

WOW...Thursday again !!!
Today I am thankful that my heart is at PEACE . Even with the upcoming storm in the gulf...I have a calm contentment that I used to take for granted. Now I realize how important it is to have PEACE !!!
My prayer for today is that ALL of us can experience this PEACE...even of only for a short while. It truly will refresh our souls .

This is a weird thing to be thankful for, but...... A few years ago I painted our bedroom a beautiful shade of green and cream. It took me five days - I am a slow painter and it's a complicated room with a lot of 1930s charm: three doors, two windows, base trim, crown molding,a giant arch over our bed, and two (very small) closets. But I love every bit of it. Looking at it still makes me happy 😊

Alright I waited all day for someone else to be thankful. Is it bad luck to post consecutive posts a week apart? I’m 2 days past the 2 year antiversary of Dday and I’m thankful. Bring it on!! Time is healing.
Tuesday my Son was out of quarantine and had his first day of school, exactly two days, last night we get notified that the school is closed for 2 weeks because of a few positive cases.
Good news is not having to get his grumpy ass ready in the morning 😀. So today specifically I thankful for regular season football!!! Go Cowboys!!!
ETA. This post is brought to you by Bud Light Platinum 😀

Today I am thankful that I am able to write in the "Thankful Thursday" thread !!!
Hurricane Ida came barreling into my Beloved Bayou Country on August 29th...and things haven't been the same since. Electricity has been off since that time...but Thank God for those AWESOME linemen!! We have a traffic light back up...what a glorious sight to see!!
The CARE...COMPASSION...and LOVE that has been shown to us in southeast Louisiana is overwhelming...and so very much appreciated .
I am so THANKFUL to the wonderful people who have been showing up to help us in our dire circumstances. This traumatic event has most of us walking around like zombies...not knowing what to do next. But the DO-ERS are here to the rescue!! They have seen this before...they know what to do...and they are helping with the patience of a Saint!
Thank God for the AMAZING people in this country!!!

First thanks for the update. We have been in prayer for the people of Bayou County, our beloved neighbors to the east. When Houston flooded the Cajun Navy showed up rescued a lot of people, we have great people in this country.
Yes I’ve had a few too many tonight but I have to drink during football, I’m a Cowboy fan, and my boy won’t get away from the TV. But, I promise I will not venture into any other threads until tomorrow, I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and say “oh shit wonder what I said”. 🤣🤣

I’m thankful for life getting back to normal. We have been battling and quarantining Covid since early August. My Son can go back to school tomorrow. We missed the last 6 weeks of summer.

We had been renting on our new adventures in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m thankful we decided to get a little house up here in this little corner of the USA to catch some more ocean sunsets.
I’m not thankful I have to move furniture again — but it will not move itself!

Tanner...I am very happy to see that y'all recovered well from Covid Coozann !! I had a family member test positive for Covid last week...and one day later they had the monoclonal antibody infusion. It has worked so WELL...and he is feeling fantastic!
Since his wife was exposed...she asked her doctor about the infusion. The doctor gave her the same monoclonal antibody treatment...but in a subcutaneous injection. I had never heard of that before! She ended up testing positive for Covid two days later...but she had no fever or symptoms. I am very HAPPY to see there is this treatment as well .
Oldwounds...y'alls move sounds absolutely Heavenly . I have never been to that area of the country...but you describe it so well. We may have to take a road trip to the Pacific Northwest one day on our Gold Wing!
I am thankful that I have been able to cut my grass!! No more branches...shingles...or other debris from Hurricane Ida. It has all been picked up and hauled to the road . We still don't have internet or TV service...but there are still some poor souls here who don't have electricity...over a month AFTER Ida hit . Heck...some of them still don't have housing...and that is all I am going to say about that because then it will get political and not very nice about my fellow American citizens having to live this way while....
My H and I are spending our time without TV by playing cards...mostly rummy . He wins most of the time...but it is still fun just being the two of us . I am so very THANKFUL that we connect in so many ways. We always did. Only...NOW...it is different. We don't take this very special GIFT for granted anymore. We actually CHERISH each other again...and I am so thankful that this part is back for us .

It's been a rough day today (due to work) so I'm going to go with being grateful for the small things. In particular, my former boss gave me a Christmas present one year of the world's softest blanket. I've had it for about four years now and it's still super cozy, super soft, very warm and just nice to cuddle up with. Plus it's a beautiful green and blue blanket - my two favorite colors

Happy that it is sunny and warm in my backyard. I feel like a cat curled up for a warm snooze. Encouraged that my husband took it upon himself to order chinese food pick up for supper after I hinted I would like chinese food for supper tonight. Thankful for holding hands while we walked around our neighbourhood earlier in the day. Thankful that I am writing this post for others to read. Thankful that I am reading other's posts.
