MariannNOVA Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Nakia will be away for a couple of days, and did say the thread could/should continue in her absence if we so desired. I am thankful for..........................Nakia! Approx 16 mos ago, I was in the depths of the most abysmal clinical depression. I wanted to get help, but as is the case with depression, I had neither the energy nor motivation to do so. Nakia started a thread that literally within minutes made it so clear to me that I had to take the first step to get help. As I read her thread, there were tears streaming down my face (granted, I spent most days at this point with tears streaming down her face, but for once, I had the slightest glimmer of hope). I PM'd her, and she wrote me many lengthy responses. It is 16 mos later -- things are not perfect (and they never will be) but they are so vastly improved. Today, my family and I are thankful for sweet Nakia! Edited November 12, 2011 by MariannNOVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglei Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Day 12 - I am thankful that ds' strength (following cancer) is such that he can heartily and handily help his dad with major outdoor projects, like felling and working up trees.

Aquinas Academy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I've gotten way behind on this. Oh well, I guess I'll start again now. I'm thankful for my DH, whose been with me through think and thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I am really thankful for my dh and dc. We were out to dinner with a group the other night and all the colleges had events so the restaurant was full and slow. We ended up sitting next to each other and just chatted away and had the nicest time. We of course talked with others but it got loud and I don't hear well so a lot of the evening was us. It was such a pleasure to be reminded of how much we all have to talk about and how much fun we have together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a LIFE CHANGING weekend, and then came here and saw this! I am honored to be you friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
