for all the encouragement that I found on this board That I have somewhere to go to vent and I know others will understand, without judgement or thinking I may have a "screw loose" somewhere

I am thankful for my crazy family, my husband, three kids , four grandkids and my big bone beagle (read fat) , plus my restaurant cat. For friends that have made me laugh and sometimes cry, but remained friends for a lifetime. And they did not have to be my friends, we chose each other as family. Unlike my own family that didn't get to chose and wanted at times to trade me.

I am thankful for the ten years I had to own my own beautiful restaurant, and for all the great customers we had. I am thankful that God gave me the gift of cooking and that I was able to share that gift with so many people over the past ten years. And I am very thankful none of my food made anyone sick LOL!!

I am thankful that I have a medical Dr. that has made me feel like life is still worth living. And for my faith that has helped get me where I am today. And for all my angels on the other side that watch over me-keep up the good work I am thankful that I have enough to share with others, one of the great joys of my life is sharing.

And on days when everthing hurts I am thankful that I can READ- thanks to all my teachers-I love to read!! Reading makes the worse day better!! And as you read this please know once again I am thankful for each of you. This is the BEST board on the net Carose
