I am thankful for:
God
My Husband and my children
My two dogs J.R. and Tinkerbell
My extended family and friends and church community.
MY MIL who is SO supportive no matter what and loves me like the daughter she never had.
The smell of fresh baked apple pies (made with fresh picked apples) or pumpkin pies, or cookies or breads.
My huge warm fuzzy jacket that keeps the Fibro cold feelings away.
My Fibro angels LS and Linz who help me figure out the FIBRO day to days.
Ruchie who no matter what always offers a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen even when she herself feels like crying.
The rest of the ladies (and gents) on this board for all the support they give to one another.
This website and Heather b/c without this I would still be spending 80% of my day on the toilet.
My pillow top mattress which I love to lie on even if I can't sleep and the warm comforter to snuggle up in.
snuggling up in front of a fireplace to read a good book.
And I could go on and on. But for today this is a good start.

I am thankful for my incredible husband who is the most supportive, beautiful person I could ever have dreamed of. Throughout every attack he makes me tea, hot water bottles, and best of all, strokes my hair as I sob, telling me how brave I am and how much he loves me. I could never have wished for anything more.
I am thankful for my parents and parents in law...who are very different from eachother, but complement perfectly. I feel so lucky to have four parents.
I am thankful for my bestest friends, who I watch moving up in the world, having babies, and it fills me heart with joy.
I am thankful to myself. For having a positive personality, no matter what, it prevails, and for having an outlook that keeps my eyes at the sky...I am also thankful for my self discipline and focus, which makes ibs deprivation much easier to handle.
I am sooo thankful to peppermint tea, ginger root, chamomile, hot water bottles, bubble baths, baby wipes, posh toilets, motilium, toast, oatmeal, rice and applesauce.
I am so thankful for ok days between bad days of ibs.
I am so thankful for being perfectly healthy apart from the ibs!!
I am so thankful for this website. After so many years of feeling alone, isolated and self consious I have learnt pride and assertiveness and feel like there is a place where people understand. Which is the only thing that helps emotionally, mid attack. And for that I thank Heather so much.
I am thankful to New York City for accepting me as one of its residents 6 days ago!!! I love it here!
I am thankful for my sense of humour which makes life even more beautiful!
--------------------
Feel the fear and do it anyway!

Gee, I don't think I can add anything to this. WIW, you're incredible. You've said it all.
Okay, I'm thankful to be alive. Christopher Reeve's death really hit me, made me stop and think about what's really important in life and how to get real about the little things that don't mean crap, things that we blow up in our minds into big stupid things that just bog us down. I'm thankful for my health, despite my IBS and diverticulosis, despite my unusual female chromozone mix-up, I'm grateful to Reeve for giving me a wakeup call, for making me realize that every day is a gift, one that I need to learn to cherish.
And I'm grateful for all you guys who make me laugh (and sometimes cry).
And, yes, Jen, I'm grateful to Jack too....

Can you tell me where your bought your black market prescription drugs?? I am so hesitant to use them & would prefer to use a site that someone else has had success with. Thank you very much if you could share this information with me! I enjoyed reading all the "thankful" posts-It's always great when we reflect on the good things that we are greatful for instead of just dwelling on this insatiable illness we all share...LZ

My mom, who is my best friend, and my family members who are finally starting to understand me.
This message board, where I can ask questions, vent, and share stories with the most wonderful, caring, beautiful people in the world. And Heather V. for setting this up for us.
Heather!! For being such an awesome friend to talk to, and 'cause she cheers me up by being cheered up by me! And 'cause Kenna is such a lucky little girl for having her!

I'm thankful for my wonderul boyfriend who takes time away from studying and schoolwork to spend time with me, make me happy, and cuddle with me when I don't feel well.
I'm thankful for my roommates, who brighten my day and are my best friends.
I'm thankful for these message boards that have made me the healthiest and most stable I've been in years.
I'm thankful for my roommate's cat and chinchillas who are so cute, soft, and lovable.
I'm thankful for my job, which lets me do what love, teach  , but also is lenient enough that I can curl up and take a nap at work when I don't feel well.
I'm thankful for weekends, and being able to sleep in and just relax.
I'm thankful for all the wonderful people I've met on these boards, none of whom I've ever actually met, but feel like I've known for years.
