Making a difference to just one person.As many of you know, I do collections. It can be difficult at times but most of the time the job is so rewarding . There are times when I can help someone get on track with their payments and get caught up. Once in a while I get a note saying thank you for helping - and it just makes me smile. They did all the hard work to get themselves current. They may have had to sacrifice something to do it - but yet they say thank you to me.All I do is make a few suggestions and cheer them on.

i am thankful for this one special friend that i have that helps me sort through all my issues. :)no really i am so thankful for my friend, he is someone i can always count on to give it to me straight, or tell me what i should do when i don't have a clue.he is also not one on compliments , but when he gives you one it makes it even more special becuase you know he means it that it is really sincere,and is coming from the heart.

With Thanksgiving just a week away it brings to mind so many more things that we have to be thankful for - the bounty we have, the charitable people in our lives, the chance to be charitable ourselves. There are so many things - little things that we take for granted that we can be thankful for: Clean water that comes from multiple taps in our homes, flicking a switch to have light, opening a cupboard to find food, blankets at night. The list goes on and on as does this list....

I am very thankful that my kids got over their flu. They all seem to be on the upside of it now. I am thankful that I have gotten my voice back to some degree. (although, DH and kids were loving it w/ mom not having a voice). I am thankful that my cold didnt turn into pneumonia and that it is somewhat better.I am thankful for the special friends I have made on here. You know who you are......the caring pm's, the thoughtful cards, the im's. Thank you!!!!

I'm thankful for the contentment I feel. Even with lots of stuff going on in my life and things being hectic, there is also a feeling of contentment. There have been times in my life when I've not been happy in my own skin. I didn't even want to be around myself.I feel so at peace with where I am and how I am handling things for the most part. That's a great gift. I'm thankful for that.

Today I am thankful for the years of my life. Today I am thankful for my DDDDDH, who is painstakingly assembling the first on many pieces of my new office furniture. He took the day off today to be with me on my birthday.Today I am thankful to be alive and healthy...after half a century.

I am so thankful for the sound of my 2 dds giggling. I am thankful that I have to tell Zane a million times a day NO cuz that means he's adventerous and growing. I am very thankful for a wonderful friend who has thought about us this upcoming holiday. And, I am thankful for all the wonderful friends that I have made on here.

I am thankful that I will have the opportunity to help make a Thanksgiving dinner for some of the veterans at the Legion. These men and woman have served our country and this is such a tiny way of thanking them for what they have done for us,

I'm thankful for the long weekend. I took some time for doing some things I wanted to do (Making new drapes to match the bedspread). It felt a bit selfish but it seems now that I have recharged my batteries. I needed that 'selfish' time.
