Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks. What are you truly thankful for this year?
I am thankful that I have a nice, warm apartment. I am a statistic. I am one of the many, many people that lost their house due to foreclosure. But, in my opinion, it is the best thing that happened to me. The house we lived in had so many things that needed to be repaired and we could not afford to do them. It was dark and gloomy at the end. My new place (we have been here since Sept 1, 2007) is bright and cheerful. And that is very important since DH is handicapped and was very unhappy at the old place. He is happy here.
When we moved, we had to rehome our 6 kits. That was a very hard thing to do, but it was best thing at the time. In January this year, once I got our finances under control, we found we could afford to have kitties again. Our former kitties had already been adopted out, so we got our 2 sweet girls. They were 7 weeks old then. Hard to believe they will be celebrating their 1st birthday Dec 1st.
Things are getting better for us. We are happy here. The neighbors are nice and speak to us. At the old place, no one would speak to us and we were there for over 10 years. We had no friends there. We have friends here.
I am also thankful for this group. You have been my sounding board and have been here for me through thick and thin. We are a family here. And I thank you!
