Happy Wonderful Wednesday Everyone !!!

I have several doctor's appointments tomorrow...so I am not sure I will be able to do a "Thankful Thursday" post. But I can do it TODAY .

I have been in the hospital...it SUCKS getting OLD...especially because I didn't take good care of myself when I was young!! So I apologize for not being around to post before...and I am very THANKFUL to be here to post NOW .

My H has been phenomenal about all of this . I have to be home to get all of these tests and procedures done...and my H has been by my side...not at work in another place...like he used to do. This is a complete reversal to what happened when I had another procedure done many years ago...while my H was having his A. Of course...he didn't have the adultery co-conspirator come over to his hotel room the day I was having the procedure...just in case I needed to talk to him . He felt that was his way of "taking care of me" !!

He has said this was one of his biggest regrets...that he wasn't here for me during that time. BOY...has he surely made up for that !! I still find myself telling him that he can stay at work...that I will be fine. But I now add how much I APPRECIATE him being here for me...because I do!

I am so very THANKFUL that I am on the mend . I am also very THANKFUL that my H is by my side during all of this ! It also goes without saying that I am so very THANKFUL that God has allowed me to see another day here on Earth!!!

W2BHA, thank you for sharing that message about your WH. Today I am thankful for continued healing, for Brideshead Revisited and for Claude who is explaining all of the difficult allusions, and for my husband, and the cool of the evening sitting by a fountain.

Happy Thankful Thursday !!

Pippin...it is GOOD to "see" you on here ! I hope you are still enjoying Brideshead Revisited!!

I am very THANKFUL to see the "Positive Reconciliation Stories" is now on a new page...Thank you Lost1313 !!!

All of my tests have come back "normal"...which is good I guess . Maybe the reason for my hospital stay was a simple infection?? All I know is that I am THANKFUL I am not in pain anymore...Thank You God !!

I am also very THANKFUL for the grandchildren our children have Blessed us with! We get to ENJOY baseball and Tball games without having to get everything ready like when our children were doing sports like this! And I can't forget the dance recitals either...just so freaking CUTE !! I read once that grandchildren are a gift from God for not killing your children when they were teenagers !! I certainly understand that!! They have turned into very AWESOME parents...and that is another thing I am THANKFUL for !!!

Springtime is in full swing...without all of the pollen from last month...and my sinuses are very THANKFUL for that!! Seeing all of this lush GREEN all around is so PRETTY too !!

My H hasn't been able to make all of the games because of the hours he has to work...so there are times when it is just me spending the night at our children's houses. Every time I come back to him though...he has a little "surprise" for me . Flowers...or chocolates...or cards...OH MY!! I am THANKFUL that I can go around to all of these places and my GUT is calm . I can remember when it wasn't that way...and it is such a GREAT feeling to be THIS way now. NOW is what counts !!!

I'm thankful for the awesome spring break vacation my family went on.

I'm thankful I feel better today. I don't know what was up, but I had a headache and nausea yesterday. It felt like a hangover, something I haven't experienced in many years. I went to bed at 5 o'clock and didn't get up until 3:30 this morning, but I do feel better.

Ah, another Thankful Thursday.

Another chance to appreciate the community that helped me with some of the toughest days ever.

Another chance to plan the next traveling adventures — I dig this early retirement thing — I’ll never quite be sure how I had two jobs at a time while raising rug rats and somehow having the energy to do that for a few decades. With an empty nest, time still flies by!

No crazy updates, just grateful.

Happy THANKFUL THURSDAY everyone !!

WOW...I missed the whole month of May writing about a Thankful Thursday !! I sure did LOVE seeing the other posts though !!

We had another family emergency which landed one of our loved ones in the hospital last month. It was touch and go for a few days...but I am so THANKFUL that they pulled through and are now resting comfortably at home .

Life is so fragile...and short. Someone once compared it to a toilet paper roll...the closer you get to the end...the faster it goes !! I am really THANKFUL for the life I am living with my WONDERFUL H . We all have choices in this life...and our CHOICE to stay together and WORK on having a better M has truly paid off . This was NOT the case with my 1st H...he liked being married...and liked cheating...which was NOT compatible with me and my wishes for the marriage I wanted . I am so THANKFUL that I made the CHOICE to go for D with my 1st H...NEAUX regrets with either choice !!

I am also THANKFUL for the rain we are having...even though it is a pain at times having rain every day right now! There are bayous and rivers intertwined all over Louisiana...and our water table is really high. That is why there are no basements over here...or they would probably look like underground pools . It is also why we have to bury the dead in cement vaults. Otherwise the coffins would pop up out of the ground with a heavy rainfall. I have seen it happen with older burial plots !! Anyway...the bayous were getting pretty low...our poor alligators were crowding together in the deeper parts!! This rain has restored all of that...and I am so THANKFUL for that ! I was just picking about the alligator part though ! I used that last emoji in a post I just made...and wanted to use it again !!

I am so THANKFUL that I can laugh and joke on this site . Believe it or not...there was a LOT of laughing and joking on here when Deeply Scared was alive. People on here would actually meet up in real life...isn't that cool??!! I think they were called G2G's? It gave me so much HOPE that one day I would be able to be that way again. All I felt when I first came here was despair and sadness. Yet here I am...truly ENJOYING life again...with my SOULMATE . YES...I said it...and this time I am not making it up...although I think I will use that emoji again anyway !!

I truly HOPE that everyone has an enjoyable day...and that you can laugh...or at least SMILE today . I would be very THANKFUL if that happened to y'all !!
