Are they thunderclouds? I am thankful for the comfort it gives me be be a part of our forum. I am thankful for the time you put into reminding me -- all of us -- to consider if we can find some small thing to be grateful for. On the days I can't do it, I read of others successes.

I am a little taken aback by your description of me.

So I looked it up:

awesome : adjective

extremely impressive or daunting; inspiring great admiration, apprehension, or fear.

as "the awesome power of the atomic bomb"

I don't know. I hope I don't strike others as '"daunting". I sure as hell am not "extremely impressive".

Do I trigger apprehension or fear in fellow members? It is not ever my intent.. But intentions can go awry.

I do know your intent. It is from your loving heart. I can be warmed by your kindness.

No. Nope. I can't accept "awesome". I am not a saint to provoke "awe".

Maybe this: "I am Dorothy, the small and meek."

๐Ÿคญ I'm still not sure if she loves bananas so much she doesn't even know what she is doing, or if something about seeing a banana just sets her off!

There is always a minute or two of her head and neck feathers bristled out in the "Look out Buster!" position, while chunks go in every direction...

before she calms down and eats -- with the top of her beak permanently sunk into the banana in case you try to move it away! It's a hoot! ๐Ÿฆ‰

Well, I talked to a homeless man the other day , who said they stole his sleeping bag. And the only thing he owns is the clothes on his back. And he was looking for somewhere to sleep. He was able to get a kids sleeping bag. However, he said he hasnโ€™t slept in 3 days that had nowhere to lay down. So Iโ€™m thankful I have a bed and a home. Somewhere to sleep. We donโ€™t realize how much we have until itโ€™s gone and other people have nothing.

Starrlightโ€ข in reply toSurvivor4Ever

When I was a kid my aunt would take me to visit some homeless brining them things ( she recently passed away) and then as an adult I did some of that myself. No matter what we do it doesnโ€™t seem enough does it? And I feel like we get caught up in our lives and youโ€™re right they become forgotten. Yes very sad.

Iโ€™m grateful everyoneโ€™s grateful.๐Ÿค—

Also for Amazing friends here...Silly stated love day was yesterday and itโ€™s grateful day today, doesnโ€™t get better than that unless we start talking about cake. Cake is something Iโ€™d be extremely grateful for. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒบ

I can honestly say I'm most grateful for my lizards! they are truly my babies. I have one sleeping in my lap right now, and he comes out to say hello several times a day. Without them, my depression and anxiety would be eating me up. I feel like they're the only thing in the world I have that keep me sane with this world is going to hell around me. I have no friends or family to talk to, and I thank God above that I have Merlin, my bearded dragon, and Oscar, my yellow Nigerian Uromastyx, to keep me comopany and keep me sane in an insane world!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐ŸฆŽ๐ŸฆŽ๐ŸฆŽ
