Little & Big Thanks

[mosdub]

While the origins of Thanksgiving in America are sketchy, I do like to take the day to reflect and appreciate the things that I take for granted everyday.  



What is something little you're thankful for?  This could be something as little as your coffee machine or the smell after it rains.
What is something big that you're thankful for?  This could be the bigger stuff - that you have a home, are healthy, etc. etc. 

GO!

Little: Thankful I get to cuddle my little furry animals whenever I'm feeling sad, and thankful that they are healthy and happy.
Big: While this year has sucked emotionally and physically, I'm thankful that I've finally reached a stable place. My hCG levels have been negative for over a month since my loss in April and I'm feeling happier and less anxious than I have in a long time. And of course thankful for healthy parents, loving H and all of my family I will get to see today!

Little: hot showers, wine and coffee.

Big: My family.

[dashook]

Little: coffee, beer, Tom Brady

Big: myself, my husband, my baby, and our parents are all healthy and happy. Earlier this year I thought we thought we were going to lose my dad so this is a big deal.

Little: being able to sew and create things
also Our local FL station just switched onto the Philadelphia parade when the TV Guide said Macy's YAY!

BIG: H being able to find a new job so quickly and his Grandmother winning her battle with Ovarian Cancer.

Little: Diet Pepsi, craft beer, wine, hot showers/baths

Big: My husband and DS, my education, our jobs, our extended family and friends

[RajahMD]

Big: that med school loans can be in forbearance during residency, and that MH's legal troubles are over

Little thanks: coffee and tv
Big thanks: My husband and baby, our health and that of all my loved ones, and my job

Little: I'm thankful to live close to family. Sometimes I find it hard, but most of the time I can't imagine living far from them. My sisters and I have a tradition of shopping Thanksgiving morning and going out to breakfast. No kids allowed. It's been a great morning so far and I really needed it.

Big: My health, my family, my job.
So much.

Maybe these are both big things, but I'm also thankful for coffee. Especially when I got up at 4:30 this morning.

Little: Kisses from DD. In-unit laundry (thankfully DH agreed to move this up from the basement before we move into our new place!). Tom Brady. TCF.

Big: My wonderful family and friends. Our house. My job.

[mill23]

Little: this delicious cup of coffee. Being able to work from home on mornings where I'm feeling low.

Big: our health. That we have the means to keep a roof above our house and live a comfortable life. My friends and family. My puppy dog

[littlelion]

How about a big medium thanks? I am thankful I found my bmb last year and followed them here to TCF. This journey of creating a family isn't as easy as it looks and I am so thankful to have all you guys for advice, support and entertainment.

[TheEleventhHour]

Little: Snuggling on this cozy couch with tea, watching the parade, and seeing deer running across the backyard.

Big: My family. Our house. Our jobs. Being able to buy a new car.

Little: That DH made me hot cocoa to help with my throat, which still is hurting from the anesthesia

Bigs: That I got my dream job in 2012 that brought me back to my hometown where I was lucky enough to meet my wonderful DH. Thankful for my family and getting to meet my new nephew this week. Thankful for my sweet fur baby. This is Daisy (blue harness) cuddling with her sister Peaches the other day - so sweet!

[easilyunamused]

Happy Thanksgiving ladies!

Little: wine and coffee.

Big: MH, my family, our health, and that we can keep a roof over our heads and food in the fridge.

[ttcminicofer]

Little: thankful I don't Black Friday shop, all the food and the Macy's parade

Big: thankful for my health, family, the furry creatures that follow me everywhere, my home and my doctors

[Rama]

Little: Thank you, cheesecake, for existing.

Big: I'm thankful for the compassion and love in the world. Nothing gmh like knowing that there are just as many, and probably much more, good people in the world than evil. No matter what the news keeps showing us.

[wannabmama]

Little: coffee, wine, heated car seats, cheese, and y'all.
Big: my family and friends and my pets...all of my supports for the good times and not so good times.

Yes! I will echo this.  I am very, very thankful for TCF.  My "online friends" add so much to my life!
