I thought about that this morning when I woke up in a warm bed with warm memories. There was a time, a long time in my life when I didn't want to be here...when anything was preferable to all the pain in my life.

I know that I must have worried my family about my intentions because I was silent for the most part..but they waited and mostly they loved me.

Some tried to make suggestions about how I could go about changing my life, about busying myself with volunteer work, about changing my attitude to one of "graditude" but mostly they loved me.

Because of "them", their patience and willingness to put up with me..I not only had/have a future but have great joy and a zest for living my life to the fullest...and to give back something to this world of ours.

I have so much to be thankful for....

Hugs for the room....*grin...almost wrote womb!
