Today, I'm grateful<P>1) that I was able to give someone some good, sound marital advice.<P>2) that yesterday my H and I just vegged out on the couch together and still had a great time!<P>3) that my oldest son has already memorized the American Sign Language alphabet. <P>4) that it's sunny outside.<P>5) that I have the afternoon off (and I'm spending it here at MB, of course! )<P>------------------<BR>Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to oust all fear. Love is meant to harmonize differences. Love is meant to bring us closer to God.

Today I am grateful:<P>1) For a beautiful day<P>2) That my H was OK after dumping his bike.<P>3) That the Yankees are in the Playoffs.<P>4) For my friends at MB<P>5) That my brain is still functioning enough to think and my heart is still whole enough to love.<BR>

I'm thankful for.....<P>Meeting with my H tonight...<P>That he said "I love you"<P>That he wants to start again<P>That he understands why I want to go slow<P>That I have hope in my heart again <BR><P>------------------<BR>My favorite quote....<BR>"Hello, this is God. I will be handeling your problems today. I will not need your help, so sit back and have a good day."<BR>

<P>Today I am grateful :<P>- that I can type a message...<P>- that I can take care of myself (even if I do have to keep the bill collectors away)...<P>- that I have the opportunity to communicate with people who understand what it's like to be where I am...<P>- that I have good friends in real life and online friends who care about me...<P>- that I had only two leaks in the ceiling during our local brush with hurricane Floyd on Thursday and Friday...<P>- that I had lots of candles and candle holders for the 14 hours or so the power was out in my all-electric apartment during the storm ...<P>- that my power came BACK on in only 14 hours (some of the people in the county I live in only got their power back on today!)...<P>- that I have a job with great benefits (even if I am not currently happy with my supervisors)...<P>- that I am more secure in who I am than those who feel the need to belittle others in order to feel good about themselves...<P>- that my grievance is finally filed and the doo-doo is about to hit the proverbial fan...<P>I think I'll stop now <P>------------------<BR>terri<BR>No, I'm not a Marriage Counselor,<BR>But I did sleep at a <BR>Holiday Inn Express last night...<BR>
