Count Your Blessings

Post

This is kinda like the opposite of Blitz's Pet Peeves thread. This is the place to list the things you're thankful for. :D

MF: How much do you know about Helios?

Woody: Let's see. I know you survived her
drama, I know she's a danger to
society, I know she's a lie, I know
Belle is unfazed by her wrath, I
know she has ox horns, and I know
I should beware of her.

(And she is also my enemy. :evil: )

Nice thread, Mandy ツ

I'm thankful for...

A God that loves me, forgives me, who's loyal to me, who comforts me, and who never gives up on me even when I give up on myself
A family that loves me and puts up with my hyper/tired stages of day and night
Friends who love me and go crazy alongside me offline and online
The way that God created me, and the personality that He blessed me with
The way that God uses situations for good
Wisdom of those who are older than me
The hugs that I get every Sunday
The air that we breathe, and how God made it specifically for us
The clothes that I've been given
Every meal that I've ever eaten
The patience and forgiveness of my parents
The constant prayer from my Grandparents
The little things that make life grand
Sunsets
The art of dance
Chocolate
Music
The colors that we're able to see
The house that I'm blessed to live in
My dog...
Every "electronic gizmo" that I own
Coffee
My hair straightener and curler
The coaches that I've had in any sport that I've ever done
Outlet Malls
Warm showers
Washers and Dryers
Everything that God has planned for me in the days to come

This is only a tiny fraction of what I'm thankful for, but HEY! It's something =P

*awe* I was going to say exactly that. Or rather, the smiles Helios and Mandy give me. :P

For dark nights that are lit up by the moon
For winter so I can wear sweaters again
For my worldly friends who put up with me even when I say annoying things to them
For my friends even when their parents put restrictions from me ever seeing them again *weeps* :(
For coffee with caramel flavoring

Things I am thankful for about yesterday...

Going to the library and spending 2 and a half hours online. :D

Having fun on the ToO chat.

Hanging laundry in the beautiful warm sunshine and dreaming about this and that all the while.

Talkin to MF for an hour.

Things I am thankful for about today...

Hazelout flavored coffee.

Messaging Blitz on Twitter. :P

Watching an interesting movie with my family.

Singing and playing a song I wrote. :D

Starting a story after I've been too unimaginative to write fiction for a few years...

I should be able to think of more but I can't really right now... :?
