I go to see my pulmonary doctor tomorrow. It will be my first visit as a non smoker.....he will be so proud since he had to give me the bad news on both my parents. He will tell me how great I look and I will tell him he must like fat women...it will be a fun visit!
I am thankful I am here...thankful I am alive ...thankful for good friends...thankful for woofmang..thankful for food and shelter...thankful to be smokefree and thankful for jogging pants that stretch!
This is a new year and I want to be aware of all the blessings that have been staring me in the face...I want to experience the sunrise and sunset, the cool mist on my face, the gentle breeze in the afternoon, the laughter of my grandchildren, the health and happiness of my children, the steadiness of my husband, the warmth of the fire, the kisses from the dogs and the nudges from the horses....I want to experience life for the first time!!!! Really experience it without having to stop and smoke, look for the damn lighter, cough and choke until I was so red faced someone wanted to call 911....I want to live so therefore I will not smoke....I also want to get out of this old woman's body...I am too young to be trapped in here!!!!

Yes, Ms. Kay, I am thankful. Sometimes life gets us down and we forget to count our blessings. Thank you for reminding me to be thankful. May I add some of my own? How about the scent of coffee brewing in the morning, antique petunias blooming on the front porch, homemade bread baking in the oven and that sweet scent of my grandson when he lays his head on my shoulder. I am thankful for the ability to jog, which I found after my Quit and the absolute stunning beauty of the place I run where I am finding my way to other blessings as well. I am also very thankful for Quit buddies and kindred spirits who have kept me Quit, kept me sane, made me laugh, shown me love and helped guide me, or push me (as needed) along the way. The blessings of the New Year to you and yours! _________________

I will add the one I feel at this moment.
I am so blessed to have so many prayers and encouraging words when life felt unbearable.
I was able to pick myself up, get rid of the baggage I have no control over, and keep going. (I still need a vacation)

Kay, you're so right. We do have a lot to be thankful for even during the most stressful times of life. We should always take the time to look for the good and one good is NOT SMOKING!
Like you, I'm VERY thankful for stretch jeans. How miserable we'd be without them. _________________

I am thankful for my mother and my sister. I don't "talk" about them much here, but they truly are wonderful women.
As for a "thing" I am grateful for....this morning I wish I could hug whoever invented the modern coffee maker. Mmmmmm.....
Have a great day everyone and thanks for starting this thread, Cowgirl Up!

We're here. How can you not be thankful?
I could not have made it this far without web sites like this one. There is no way so many needing people could find and support each other without them.
I am thankful for the ALA FFS site.
I am thankful for this site because it is easier to find what I am looking for.
I am thankful for instant messaging which saved a very good friend of mine from stepping off the path this past weekend.
I am thankful for my wife, my children, my dog, my cat. Without them I am worthless.
OK... Onto a very great 2005.
