here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method

information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Just want to share some thoughts of gratefulness today:
Grateful for:
--this board, where I have read in others' posts descriptions of my own life, and have learned so much from all of you about the true nature of human strength
--my three kids, all thriving, beautiful, smart and perceptive
--my friends, some that I have had for over 30 yrs, who I know I can say anything to and am never judged; they're always ready to help
--my big Italian family, unconditional love (well the conditions are you do have to eat a lot); each one make sure to let you know how important you are
--my job, one that fuels my sense of purpose, one that surrounds me with understanding and caring colleagues
--thanks to my HP which I call God Who has provided me with all of the above and much more
Hope all of you have a wonderful Sunday and start to the week ahead
I'm grateful for your post, Yanksfan! Starts the next part of my day off well. I do have one tiny, tiny request. Can I be adopted into your family. I love hearing they are unconditionally loving with one rule - to eat a lot. I'd be good there. I wouldn't give a minute's trouble. I would eat whatever was set before me. Grin.
Wow, thank you for the reminder I was needing to make my own list of all that I have to be thankful for! Your list is awesome and I too am up for adoption at 35 years old, haha. Sending you much love and support!

Have a wonderful Sunday yourself, Yanksfan!
I am available for adoption too...I am loyal, I am housebroken, a hugaholic and I eat like a horse.....

not only would adoption not be a problem at all (one of my children is adopted from the Philippines and my niece adopted 5 of her children!) but there are so many of us anyway I highly doubt anyone 'extra' would even be noticed! haha the more the merrier! (and of course that means more food)
 Thanks, Yanksfan. I'll be packing soon and becoming of British/Irish/Scottish and now Italian ancestry.  Yum! I can hardly wait! I LOVE big happy families and lots of good food.
