The Soda Shop Message Boards

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

I think people would rather be ungrateful, because it's easier.

I'ma thankful for the SS, for starters.

I'm thankful for vocal chords. :-p

I'm thankful for my mom's wonderful back-rubs!

The church campout we're having this weekend.

A beautiful sunset tonight.

All my awesome SS friends!

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

Whale..

For my friends
For my family
For tv shows that make me laugh and cry
For books
For chocolate
For coffee
For the SS and ToO

For hot chocolate
For generous people who leave big tips
For the warm feeling of a hug when I'm tired
For the smiles MF and Mandy bring to my face whenever I see new PMs from them
For the unity and fellowship I felt during communion this morning at church
For the sun that melts away the snow so that I can drive without fear of wiping out

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

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
