Groups > HAPPINESS, JOY, POSITIVE THINKING

You're welcome and I'm glad you found us.

I also pray for the people who have no one to pray for them. I know it's heavy but I think of all the entire families who have died as the result of the holocaust or any of the natural disasters and left no descendants who will pray for them. Also, when I visit my husband's nursing home, I pray for those who don't remember how to pray or won't ever be able to learn.

(I don't mean to be a downer.)

I was just thinking of how amazing it is that my miniature poodle and I can go to visit my husband who has to live in a nursing home and before we even get to his room, we've made at least a dozen people happy by interacting with them, which makes both my dog and me happy, too.

Then, when I get to see my husband, it's easier to be cheerful for him.

To be honest, some days, I'm the one who needs cheering up. The other caregivers are always there to give me a boost when I need it. It's wonderful to know I'm never alone in this challenge.

I so agree. I have such empathy for all of you that have had a bad diagnosis. My husband has pain 24/7 and 150 mlg of methadone later is not working again. It's so sad to see a loved one grimis in pain when you wake him. His first light is pain. I hope and pray for all the afflicted with pain and worse, the diognosis of cancer. Today the prognosis isn't as bad as the past. I know, not a comfort for anyone with the cancer. my little sister, born in 1966, was baptised in the hospital because it was feared she would die of cancer and I have danced at her wedding and she's still here at 32 with a beautiful son who is my nephew. He is a gift and it is all possible, especially today, with the incredible leaps that we have made in medicine. I pray for all the sick and pained. God bless all of us

So many have difficulties now, but still there are small blessings and large ones, and I am greatful for them all. I just found an apartment that suites my need at this time, and have been looking since January. I am greatful for the blessings that pour into my life and experience and out too my loved ones, including you all here on tbd. Blessings all, and good day!

My mother always told me, it could be worse,

and I often heard her say,

"But for the grace of God, go I"

I am happy to be me today, because

I am alive and free,

Maria

Hi everyone, I'm Cathie and new to this group. You all have such good things to say and I like this site. I try to smile as often as I can. A smile says a lot. People are much more approachable. I feel good when someone smiles at me. I feel like today I have a strong shoulder for a friend who needs to vent. Listening to her made her feel good and it made me feel good too.

Hi and welcome Cat...

I have many things to be grateful for, but for today,

I am grateful my dog is ok (hurt his leg)

I am grateful that I got to take the day to be with him and didn't miss work

I am grateful that my mom got a good health report from the doctors.
