I'm positive today because my girl Fluffy came out of her surgery alive.

I am positive because we adopted out three adult black cats today as well as two black and whites when we have cute fluffy kittens that people could be choosing

I am also thankful that people have realised that we are not the same as a nearby humane society which is being investigated for animal cruelty and hopefully animals wont be left out in the winter weather because people think all humane societies are the same

It SNOWED! Like, it snowed, and it STUCK! I'm in El Paso, TX (on the far west of TX bordering NM and Mexico) and I know it might not seem like a major deal to some but I'm from NY/NJ so I'm accustomed to snow EVERY winter and I haven't seen REAL snow since Feb 2004! (I saw a bit back in Feb 06 but nothing like NJ snow) so this to me actually made me tear up a bit

I woke up in a better mood than the last few days, and reading the above heartwarming stories/posts has made me smile

It is a beautiful sunny day here today which is great considering all the nasty weather we had for the last few days. It always amazes me how sunshine can improve one's mood so quickly. Yesterday I also attended my first meeting of the chronic pain support group I joined and found it very enlightening. I think I am going to benefit a great deal from it. All in all today is shaping up to be a good one.

Wow. Ummm, I am soooooo very thankful for the thoughts/care and to know that I was appreciated shown in a very unexpecting way which couldn't have arrived at a better time.

Yay! The Dr said I could very carefully and very gradually start walking!!!! I feel sorry for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (the crutches) as they have been good friends, but soon, I will no longer need them.

I needed smiles, so I read through this thread. I am thankful for ALL of the wonderful things that people have posted here.

...and I got my first Christmas card in the mail today, and that brought a lot of smiles too.

I'm happy that I could make others happy.... even just a wee smile... thats good enough for me.

I've gotten out of bed way early the last 2 days - 5:30 yesterday and 4:45 this morning. DH asked me if I was going to be one of the "retirees" that wake up way too early each day. I realized that I'm more eager to get a start on the day when I don't have to drive into the office, and that brought a huge smile on my face. I'm tired right now, but it's a good relaxing tired.

I am in a positive mood about Christmas!

P.S. I started a thread like this in another forum, and it got buried by other threads in like an hour I think it was a great idea though!

But where it does stay, it helps so many people to smile..... and that's what its about

Chris, you always make me smile!

And Amy - I know you're a morning person - but that's pushing it! I'm so glad to hear how happy you are though, that's for sure!

I'm happy I caught more of Kiwi's chirps on vid.

I'm so happy that I have the talent to make cool things. It's putting the true spirit of giving (and not just buying) into the holidays, and not to mention it's so much better on the budget.

I'm happy that DH shampooed the carpet yesterday. The wet dog smell is gone!

and for that, I am very thankful


Today I'm happy that aside from trying to eat some of the bottom of the tree, it is still standing....so there's hope to have our xmas tree stay where its always been.

I'm thankful for Rigel giving me a good chuckle in the gas thread.

I'm thankful that the ice maker on my freezer started to work again magically last night. It stopped working a week ago and we have no idea what made it suddenly start working again. Must be magic.

Today was a good day! I got to spend my entire day designing for a customer! Got almost all of her Christmas stuff done and she was thrilled (I go back Tuesday after class to finish decorating her house.)

After I designed, I met Jack at his aunt's house to help him babysit her Boston Terrier puppy for a few hours while she was out of town. We had pizza for a late supper and had a blast plaing with the puppy until she got home! We visited with her for a little while then called it a night. (I'm very thankful Jack's family treats me like one of their own )
