You know we talk about what we are going through healthwise and I guess the reason I keep my happy mood up most of the time is because of the support I have in my life. I told someone the other day we needed a mood that said almost there because sometimes I'm not quite happy but I don't want to put up the sad mood.

I have such good friends and family. They have been there for me through everything.

I lost my husband Bill in Nov. He was my life and it's been the hardest thing I have ever lived through, 2nd and third being losing Mom and Dad.

My daughter has been there for me all through this. She lets the boys stay with me a lot so I won't be alone. My ex-son-in-law has been the same way.

I have 2 great stepkids back home but I talk to them a lot. My step-daughter just got diagnosed with diabetes so she's haviing it rough.

my stepson is so great to me. When he was here I gave him Bill's clothes that he wanted, his watches and his belt buckle that had Bill on it because it is his first name also.

I have my PCP who has came through for me through all I have been through. If he knew what I was going through today he would be giving me hell for letting things get to me.

I have so many friends from the old forum that came here to the new one. The ones that didn't, call me and email me. I have met 2 in Denver when I had my TOS surgery. They came to the hospital to see me and one helped me through a lot.

Course there's all of the ones here that have stood by me through everything that I go through and have gone through.

I have a lot of good friends around here. They are always calling me and checking on me. My best friend is around 70 and is in the nursing home. I fear I'm going to lose her soon.

I have my son-in-law that thankfully has a good job and has helped me get my new place and try to move on since losing Bill.

I have my nurses that help me and give me support in everyway.

As I said, there are some very good people on this forum that have been a Godsend to me.

I started this thread so that others might come on here and tell me what they have to be thankful for in their lives so that we can think about the positive things we have.

It's hot here tonight. The humidity was up really high today but I did get out. I went to the pool and watched Dustin and Devin show me how they have learned some new diving skills. They are so proud of what they can do as I am of them.

Hope all of you are having a great night and think about the good things God has given us.
