I know that this is early but...
What are you thankful for?

Myself, I am thankful that I live in a blue state and that four years isn't forever.

7. Geodon, lithium and Wellbutrin here.
Edited on Sun Nov-21-04 11:17 PM by Droopy
Anti-psychotic, mood stabilizer and anti-depressant. Lithium works for my mania, but not so well for depression. That's why I have the Wellbutrin.

5. I'm thankful I was born in America.
I am goddamn lucky to be an American.

I am the "right" color and the "right" gender in the most prosperous country the world has ever known. I have been hungry, but have never been in danger of starving. I have been sick, but have never been in danger of dying of diarrhea or a cold. I have never gone a week without running water (hot and cold taps) and ready electricity.

I can go on and on, but I won't. All I want is what I've got... I don't want it to disappear. I believe it will.

6. I am thankful for
my husband, our families, our sanctuary called home, and our close friends who live in other countries. But this admin is scaring me.

9. I'm thankful
that I am relatively healthy, that I have not ever known REAL hunger (malnutrition) or REAL thirst. I'm thankful my daughter is safe.

I'm thankful we have a warm home. We have running water and electricity. We have transportation.

I'm thankful I have a job and my husband has a job. I'm thankful I can take my daughter to the doctor when she's sick--too many parents can't.

I'm thankful for the love of my family and friends.

So many things, I can't list them all here.
