I missed a few last night, I think. Blame the turkey! :) But I have to thank Prin for saying the right thing to me to get me to notice. Thanks, Prin!
I am thankful that I can feel thankful again. It's such a simple thing that I missed it. So it's amazingly profound, as simple things tend to be. It just represents such a fundamental shift from how I was feeling a couple of months ago that I'm overwhelmed. Really blown away by the fact that I feel cheerful and calm and safe again-and I didn't even notice! That means that my mood is habitually better now and so not remarkable.
My balance of good days versus bad days has tilted in favour of the good. That's such a relief. When the good starts to outnumber the bad it means I'm healing again. Whew!
I'm thankful that my dogs sent me on-line to find an answer, and that I got intrigued enough by Prin's big boy, Boo to start posting on a pets websites' forum-and that led me to meet a wonderful group of people to virtually hang out with. And now with the blog, I'm "meeting" more great people.
Life is good, and I'm an idiot for not noticing sooner!
And I'll leave you with the lyrics to "Heading for the Light" by The Travelling Wilburys-always a favourite song, now maybe a theme song. George Harrison had a knack for the simply profound.
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me
Heading for the light
Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
Heading for the light
Ooh - my hands were tied
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me
Heading for the light
Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
Heading for the light
Ooh - my hands were tied
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

Awesome, Skryker. :)
I know what you mean too. A couple of weeks ago, I bit a piece of my tongue off and it killed and one morning I woke up and it didn't hurt anymore and I didn't know when it had stopped hurting. :D Kinda like that only multiply it by infinity and beyond and I'll barely have a glimpse of what you're talking about.
Yes, I'm quoting Meet Joe Black. :D
(hugs) Happy Thanksgiving.
Yeah, I remember realizing I was feeling better, but I have no idea when better became cheerful.
Hope it lasts.
