(I'm glad you think I'm positive...that's not the first word--or the 150th word-- that would pop into my head when thinking of words to describe me, but I thank you nonetheless.)<BR/><BR/>Annie- Laughter is good for the soul..hopefully you'll be laughing heartily tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>MPM - I don't think you'll be disappointed tomorrow, but then again maybe I just have a really twisted sense of humor. OK, so we know that, but hopefully you'll find the story humorous too.<BR/><BR/>BHE - Thank you for the reminder. I'll have to be sure to get enough antioxidants this coming holiday weekend. For health reasons, of course. Also, I absolutely agree about the country living. So true.<BR/><BR/>BN - You're so fortunate. So many people here, even those who work and make a decent living, are not offered health insurance through their employers OR it is so costly they forgo it. <BR/><BR/>GJ - That story truly is tragic, but it's so darn well written.<BR/><BR/>AP - There are many vistas such as this around here, and there are many mysteries as well....<BR/><BR/>Yolanda - I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving too.<BR/><BR/>Reb/LWK - You may not believe this, but I thought of Quince as I was writing that last paragraph, which is why I added it (about how you can still find things to be thankful for even if you do not necessarily have your health). Everything happens for a reason, even if we do not know what that reason is, and I do believe there can be good in even our darkest moments.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-34358670999397171312008-11-25T14:42:00.000-05:002008-11-25T14:42:00.000-05:00I love thankful posts.

What does one say? <BR/>I can't wait to read the rest of your "thankful" stuff, and your guest reader! The excitment is a bit overwhelming to say the least.

This is true for physical AND mental health.<BR/><BR/>I also believe that you can attribute your good health to country living.

I totally agree with what you said about Val`s incredible stories (I live just about as far away from her as (from) you), but I also enjoy yours so much. It is so great than you learned to cherish your old home town, and apparently love your life there.
