thats easy
im thankful for:
my family always being poud of me even when i dropped out of school
my boyfriend always loving me even when i am up all night crying
my friends for caring for me... even tho we stopped talking for a long time
and
my life... i may be very unhappy at times but atleast im alive to feel the joy
My parents, although we don't always get on, I still love them for who they are and their amazing support. Espically as my dad could be nasty to my mum kids but he treats them as his own kids & in return they call him dad really (well Amy calls him pops, and the rest call him Paul lol).
My four beauitful sisters; Amy, Jenny, Becky & Hannah. Although biologically they're my half sisters they feel real to me. Although Hannah is not playing her part as a sister atm I still include her in my number of sisters. I'm so damm proud of each of them in their own ways. I'm feeling closer to Amy atm which I love :)
My two big brothers, Adam & Anthoney. Although the 2nd one doesn't play a part, same as I said about Hannah. I'm thankful to have Adam cos he'd beat anyone up who keeps hassling me although he doesn't most of the **** in my life he's an amazing brother. <3
My beautiful nephew Ricky. We're so close as he's sometimes had to live with me & my parents. Plus he's 5 years younger than me. He makes me smile. I'd die without him, I seriously mean that. He's my whole world & always gives the greatest hugs & cutest kisses lol. I hate seeing him sad :(
My beautiful friends including Hayley, Kim, Zoe, Camilla, Chris, Matt, Mel, Casey, Liz & many more. They are just pure amazing & some of them are just absloute mad like me <3
My four best friends; Kelly, Abbi, Emily & Jenni. These girls are all special to me in their own little ways. I'd be lost without them. I miss Jenni a lot as I rarely see her these days.
My online buddies, all so supportive of me & I appericate them all. They make me laugh so much!
My college tutor, he may be a guy but I get on great with him & he's somebody I can talk to.
My school tutor, I may have left but she's still supporting me and I appericate that so much.
Books, need I say more?
Music & my ipod, I love music more than life!!!
Laptop, again need I say more?
Here & Hopescope, both amazing supportive places. <3

I'm am so so thankful for my friends who continue to amaze me with how great they are and how understanding they can be, and I'm thankful for my counsellor, who gave me the courage to open up to them in the first place.
I'm thankful for..

My Family
Having a great childhood
Him always being there when i've needed someone
Music and movies and anime and manga and things that you can just escape into

Im grateful for all here...wo have, intheir ays, menat so much to me or touched me in some ay...thank you
I'm thankful for,
My wonderful boyfriend Mike, for giving me hope for a life I'd given up on.
My job, for giving me something to do and care about other than my problems, and for showing me there are people who are far worse off but get on with their lives much more creatively than I do (I work in a care home)
The baby on the way, giving me the reason to stop even considering anything currently, and making my life all happy and glowy.
The friends who've stuck by me through thick and thin.
My dog Max for always being there and being happy to see me even when I'm in the worst mood ever.

Our friend Clint who adopted me as his sister and is my big protective brother. (As it turns out, we could be cousins. Our families come from small towns just 300 miles apart in the Appalachian Mts. You might be a redneck if...)
I'll always remember;
1. him waiting at the bottom of the stairs with his arms out to catch me the first time i tried to go down them with walking cast and crutches
2. him phoning every morning over the last few months to make sure i'm okay

My husband is my best friend.
In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
