That happens from time to time. I sit here and get all maudlin and want to write something. Here goes.

Today, the 4th of July, I thankful for

* My freedoms: for which many people gave up their lives to provide for me

* My country. Even though it's going down hill I would live nowhere else.

* My faith. One of the freedoms mentioned above.

* My health. It might be sucky from time to time. But it's truly the one thing that's mine.

* My family. Whom I love and respect with my very being. They are my reason for fighting whatever is thrown my way.

* My friends. Where would I be without each of you? Don't have many physical friends. They all pretty much left me with the lymphoma dxs. That's okay. Maybe it was me who left them. I don't know. I just know, my friends now have seen me in my very worse days. Days when I thought I was really and truly dying. Days when my family didn't want anything to do with me because they thought I wanted too much from them. Again, maybe I did want too much.
I knew I could come on-line and find a friend and knew they would write caring, funny, down to earth words. Mostly, I knew they wouldn't walk out on me.

So, let us all be thankful today, and each day.

Hugz,

Karen
Sometimes I feel like the world is testing me, and the hardest thing to do is stand up and say I am strong enough!

I'm thankful for all of the above you mentioned, Karen, and I will add also:

I am thankful I have a roof over my head and a bed to
sleep in! I am not going hungry, (although I could lose a few lbs.)

I hope you are enjoying your day, in whatever you are doing, and weather is being tolerable for you!
