Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings. xoxo

Hello there Babs
I had a lovely weekend. Rested. I needed to do that.
Just been for my swine flu jab. Got my eyes tested again this morning and ordered varifocals. Needing them.
Alls ok here. Shan's back at school after being ill with flu for a few weeks. Kept her off a week. Like myself i had been off a week too. But ok now.
Winter is here and paws is back where he belongs at top of stairs sleeping. He came up to my room to get me this morning when he came in. Walked right past Raz.
Hope you enjoy your weekend coming up and everything goes to plan for you.
My sister's really not well hun and spending lots of time in hospital getting tests. My mum is good as usual
Take care. Thanks for the lovely photo of you and Dillon.

Lots of love and best wishes.

Good afternoon on this very wet very bleak monday babs. Wanted to drop by and send you some lovage. Been a quiet week really, derek full of cold (or so he says) - ya know the one - moping round with the quilt and the beechams. Jamie bought a car and insured it and is now mobile. Nicola has been to blackpool despite having a chest infection. Me well I have been home apart from my sunday night at Traceys where the kids were there last night and we all curled up scoffin pizza watching x-factor in front of the fire xx

Much Luv my dear friend

aww babs hun i so know where you're coming from. I've been through that so often. Going to court fighting for my rights and it got me knowhere. I was unonsolable. Poor rab and shannon. They needed me but i needed s, r and g. It was hell for me but it wasn't nice for shan and rab. Rab felt so helpless and shan was just a baby. I've at last accepted what i can't change. It's only took 13 or 14 years. Not been easy for me at all. Take care hun xxxxxx

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when
he discovers that someone else believes in him
and is willing to trust him."

hope you had a better weekend. Early hours of monday mornin here and sendin you your first luv of the day
