• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm thankful for music that is uplifting and worshipful, for music that provokes thought, and for music that just makes me smile and feel like dancing. I'm thankful for poetry classes, for never say never, for laughter and for paper snowflakes. I'm thankful for books that make me think, for professors that expand my horizon of thought, and for wordplay that keeps me on my toes. For gentle criticism that helps me grow, for the beautiful hands of people that I don't know, for the ability to read music and learn new compositions. And I'm thankful for quiet days that can be spent enjoyably. :)

Aww thanks Wendy :hug: I don't know what else to say, you've got me blushing. :hug: God bless you for brightening up my day.

I'm thankful for Wendy for her sweetness!, for all my beautiful friends on CF and in real life, for the existance of miracles, for quiet moments with God, for icy mornings when it's a blessing to wake up and be warm. I'm thankful for new material to learn, for cuddles when I'm feeling depressed, for warm sunlight on my face, for softly spoken words of comfort. For people who see the girl, not the illness, for the persistance of time, and for inside jokes that still guarantee a laugh or a smile.

I'm thankful for strawberry white tea, for people who listen even if they can't understand, for those who can empathise. I'm thankful for dark stormy nights as well as crisp cold starry nights, for understandable textbooks, for books that lighten my mood, and for unbelievably good pumpkin muffins. And I'm thankful for my wonderful significant other and for my heavenly Daddy, for without him and Him, I would be dead.

I'm thankful for positive journalling, for sweet photos of my animals doing silly things, for the completion of coursework, for that feel-good feeling when you've got something done that's been hanging over your head for awhile. I'm thankful for Evanescence's new cd and for the fact that I can hear and enjoy it, for soft ice cream, for pleasant talks with friends, and for silly poems. I'm thankful for the ability to write, new socks, and cheerful hellos. And I'm thankful for printers that work, extra large hoodies that I can hide in, and fuzzy miniature ponies. :)

I'm thankful for the grace that my Daddy has given me, and all of us. I'm thankful for love from my mortal beloved, I'm thankful for feelings that can't be described by words, I'm thankful for the beauty in simple things.

And I'm thankful for the love from Him Whom no one can hope to fully understand.
