Quote:Not to sound unappreciative, but other than my health, I'm not thankful for diddly squat.. The last couple years of my life have been completely miserable. Life put on a steel toe tipped shoe and kicked me square in the choppers. I took it all in stride and kept my nose to the grinding stone. Negativity tried to follow, but it got casted off with the rest of the negativity in my life at the time..

 

I've had to adopt a new saying in my life after all of my trials. "Step on my toes, I cut off your foot".. 

 

Once I've adopted that new saying in my life, my life got quite more simple.. 

 

So I'm not thankful for squat, because I pulled myself out of one of the darkest times ever in my life.. So I deserve that credit, nobody else.. 

 

Be thankful you had the strength to get through it. I had a stretch a few years back where I lost both my grandfathers, got a divorce and got passed over for a great mentoring program at work. But I came out of it with joint custody of my children and ended up with a better job. Going through it sucks but you come out a stronger person.
