I am GRATEFUL for the many, many posters on Marriage Builders who take the time and effort to LEARN the program, implement it in their own marriages, and then take that to the others on the forum. God Bless those of you who help others here.
My kids and the portion of my sanity remaining. Oh, and all that stuff Julie Andrews sings about in the Sound of Music, the few of my favorite things deal. She was pretty hot.

Yep.....be grateful for that.....My dad got laid of this week. He's been with his company for 30 yrs. He was the last employee they let go.....He's putting on a brave face, but I can sense the sadness/panic/depression (can't figure out the right word to use....).
And yes B, it was an INCREDIABLY wonderfully nice thing for H to do......and just think, 2 yrs ago, well, never mind.....TODAY IS WHAT MATTERS ANY MORE.....
No, really. She breads and pan fries chunks of mahi mahi, then some shredded cabbage mixed with a little mayonnaise and honey, on a warm soft tortilla. Yum.
Not2fun: Sorry, I'm just not feeling up to sitting around the house playing with the baby in my leather mini-skirt, fishnet stockings, and stilettos today.
Today I am grateful for the people like MelodyLane, Pepperband, Mark1952 and _Larry_ (just to name a few, not meaning slight anyone) who without any apparent need to, spend countless hours on this site counseling, hugging, crying with and helping people through some of the most difficult times of their lives.
Many, like myself, come here hurt, fearful and traumatized, get solace and guidance from folks like these, then distance themselves from the pain and work to find their way forward. Some of us pay back what we can, but find staying too close causes more pain and so we back off. These folks are a constant source of encouragement, affirmation and hope.
Since I tend toward over-dramatization at times, I will just say that I don't know where I'd be today without them. I still feel a lot of pain, but with each passing day I also find that there is life after the crushing damage caused by the betrayal of one's most beloved.
Today I am grateful for the first appearance this year of English drizzle.
Yesterday it drizzled and drizzled and then drizzled some more. H and I went to an art gallery across London, putting our coats on and then off, brollies up and then down, and it was so nice. We had been missing this sign of an English spring due to the atypically harsh winter of the past 3 months.
Today, the drizzle has stopped and the sun is putting in a weak appearance. I can see a few snowdrops and traces of blossom on the trees. It is beautiful! This is an English spring, at last!
Today I am grateful that I met a long lost half sister yesterday, and might be meeting her sister and brother - also my half siblings. I have been searching for them for 13 years.
Today I am thankful for my kids. I've watched them go through much pain. I tear up when I see them stare into space, wondering what's on their minds and asking them. Sometimes they tell me sometimes they don't but in the end...our relationship has never been better...I thank God for that.
At the moment, I am grateful for the birds chirping....And that it is warm enough to open my windows to hear them....
Today I am grateful for my H's creatativity and ingenuitity.....one of the things that FIRST attracted me to him and something I had somehow forgotten through the years pre-A......
I'm grateful for two year old girls, and the way they live in the moment.
And the way they come up to you and kiss you on your arm. Or your leg, whatever is closest. Especially after they have just splattered their cereal all over the dining room.
I'm grateful for everyone have posted some really inspiring stuff about Plan A, about the WS, and their success stories. I have been copying and pasting things so I can re-read later and I have pages full of insight. So grateful to have this site as a resource as I go through one of the hardest chapters in my life.
Last night I was going to post a thread expressing this thought but didn't know where to put it. I'm grateful that I found a place to express it.
I am grateful that God's ways are higher than my ways and His thoughts higher than my thoughts, that He knows the plans He has for me, that He loves me with an everlasting love, and that He never changes.
Today I am thankful that even after 17 yrs. there are still some stories about my wonderful DH to discover.....and the intimate moments when he shares them....
Oh, and pedicures, which I am getting right now as I type this......
I am grateful for a nice lunch "date" with my DH and the fact that he commented on my chest when he saw it in the reflection of an appliance at Home Depot. HA! Top that!

Today I am most grateful for the love and support H has shown me these last few weeks, especially last night........and for him letting me grow at my pace.....
Today I am grateful that Not bumped this thread so that I could find it and read it and I am thankful for this site where I don't feel alone with my post A idiosyncrasies.
