What are you thankful for?
Tuesday, November 19, 2002 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I know thanksgiving is an American thing (me bein’ an American an’ all) but anyone from any other country please feel free to chirp in as I think the idea of being thankful is universal and I embrace the diversities that make us who we are as a whole world.
What am I thankful for? (Why thank you for asking, he-he)
I am thankful for my precious daughter…that lovely girl I gave birth to who laughs at my stupid jokes, teases me when I act like a goofball and loves me just as unconditionally as I love her.
I am thankful for the kindness of strangers from all over the world via the wonderful World Wide Web…thank heavens for the connecting of people of all races from all kinds of places that connect our lovely planet like one giant, homespun quilt stitched together…*smile*
I am thankful for the people who take that “extra” step to extend and expend their time and energy to be kind and helpful when they don’t have to. I am soooooooo thankful for the friends I’ve made and the future friends I want to make and keep and I cherish my friends dearly (after all, you CAN choose your friends but ya can’t choose your family). You, my dear friends (you know who you are) are CHOSEN which makes friendship all that more special…we care for each other and we are bonded.
I am thankful for every day I have a roof over my head and food in my tummy and a computer that connects to my pathetic dial-up (
) and I’m so very grateful for the luxuries I now have after I’d grown up so poor with my second hand clothes and my mother being a single mom who barely made it day to day and many Thanksgivings we were blessed with donations from kind strangers to feed us a feast we could have never otherwise afforded.
Okay, so maybe there is war and famine and sadness but I do hold out hope that one day that can all be eradicated and we can all be equals…brothers and sisters for the greater good of woman/mankind…
Peace and blessings to everyone,
AngEla
P.S. Please don’t find this barf worthy…I just want to feel thankful is all
P.S.S. (((((((((HUG)))))))))))

Shiny buttons..... or plain ones if I want.
Flashy scroll bars... or plain ones if I want.
Fantasy desktop themes.....or plain ones if I want.
Variegated colors..... or plain ones if I want.
Hidden object bars.... or regular ones if I want.
Fancy icons.... or plain ones if I want.
A Mac OS looking dockbar... or none if I want.
A computer that lets me imagine all this. A brain that does too.
A company that understands the extreme value of the concept "or" and "if I want"
friendship, love, peace, hope
and chocolate

Well, I wish I could say that I am thankful for new friends...
That would be a lovely, nice, comfortable concept wouldn't it?
Life unfortunately deals you the same hand of cards that you see
all day, every day, in every way.
I'm so used to it now that it has no power over me anymore.
I deal with it as it flows towards me...
And I'm sure good at that.

I am thankful for my lovely wife that has given me my new son of 3 months now. I am most thankful for God'sgift of His Son Jesus and everything he has done for me. I am thankful for living in America and given the opportunity to serve and defend Her. Lastly among other things I am thankful for Jafo for keeping my grammer in check.

I misspelled that on purpose just for kicks. Actually our unit is all about going abroad which is why I'm trying to come out with my first skin before I go. http://www.geocities.com/combatweather/ My brother's unit is though. The planes that escorted Bush to Barksdale AFB Sept 11 were part of his unit. I'm not worried about your comments werewolf. You were one of the first I met when I came to this site and I am still indebted to you https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=3&SkinID=2052

I'm really pleased that the Oz troopies are being pulled out of Afghanistan and returning where they belong.
