As we are approaching the Anniversary of September 11th it is a good time not only to honor those who lost and gave their lives (and to remember their families and loved ones) but to reflect on the things that we are priviliged to have and are grateful for.

Please post with thoughts and things that are precious and dear to your heart and soul.

I'll start, here's my list (not necessarily in order)

*Freedom

*Having enough

*Family

*Health

*My house

*Watching my girls grow into beautiful young ladies

*Friends

*My aging parent's health

*That my husband's diabetes is controlled

*The beauty in small things (the apples that are ripening on our tree, the new fall flowers in the yard, Indian Summer evenings)

*My church

*Our jobs

*All of the members here at HW...love you guys:)

Join in everybody, gratitude is an antedote for A and D and will make you and others smile, and we need that everyday!

tongue   turn smilewinkgrin Awesome list Sparnix! tongue turn smilewinkgrin    I am happy that you have so many things to be grateful about.

It kind of starts out hard, making the list, but then it just flows!  The more I think about it, the more things I have to be thankful for.

Come on everybody, it really does help you to feel good.

Or if this is a challenge right now, feel free to post some sentiments and honoring words for the 9/11 heros and victims/families.

For those people that read this thread, if you are approaching an anniversary as you lost someone on that tragic day, know my heart really goes out to you. Time doesn't really make it easier, you just learn to adapt better. When you lose someone so suddenly and with such a sense of injustice, it changes the grief process. THIS ISN'T FAIR


If you are one of those people, I wish for you strength, I hope you are surrounded by some loving people.

What's precious and Dear to my heart

- other people's well being
- Moki, (Cat, who isn't fat, he's just well loved and has fluid retention)
- My best friend
- All my friends, they are family to me
- Freedom
- Being responsible for me
- My independance
- My friend I call Uncle that is fighting cancer

There is loads more, probably too many to list, little things that cost nothing are things I value most in life above anything material

My thoughts and prayers for all who "gave some, or gave all"....such a tragedy. Time makes the pain "less" sharp (my opinion).
my list
-my wonderful two dogs - Leo and Sol, who give me love unconditionally!
-my husband - whose sense of humor, keeps me smiling
-my friends - who stay near
-the sun, the moon, all trees/plants, dogs and cats
-good books - that transport me into different worlds
-my job - after being unemployed for almost 14 months
-my meds - specially xanax (seriously - helps me w/anxiety attacks)
-freedom
-to live in this century

Beautiful post Bruinsfan...we are glad that you joined up too! I hope that you and your family are doing well:)

***************************************************************

I was showing my youngest daughter pictures of the tragedy and aftermath of 9/11 on AOL news today. She said "Those pictures are staged right mom?" I said "No sweetheart, they are actual photographs of what happened that day" She was speechless.

I was pregnant with her at the time of the attack. I remember thinking "How can I bring a child into this world, such as it is. Hope and perseverance of the human spirit was and is my answer.

Always remember, never forget...and move forward in hope and faith.
