      I am thankfull for:
    
      Healthy children, Living in a country w/o war going on, co-workers

                                            Bill.

    Health, sanity, job, custody of my daughter, being able to read and
    debate with others here in the notes file. Being able to get up in the
    morning to go to work is probably one of the most amazing things today
    in this day and age. 

    I guess I am also thankful for the group of men and women who I work
    with here, and who gave and still give me support when I am doing
    things right or slap my hand when I do it wrong. Gotta have it!:)

    And!!! Most recent due to some tuff finance breaks, was able to buy
    a new truck on some rotten credit due to a long divorce.
    
    
    Peace, Love, Lots of Bird, and football!
    
    

    
    job, health, supportive bosswomyn, and a successful build.

    1. My wife and daughter and that we are all healthy.
    2. That our two oldest, grown up and gone, have happy marriages and
    healthy children.
    3. Our home and all material blessings including our jobs to pay for
    all those items.
    4. My friends at work who help make it all bearable and the other 
    friends who have always been there in all situations.
    5. The kindnesses shown myself and my brother and sister when growing
    up poor with an alcoholic father.
    6. Having had my uncle, Norman Dickey, as a father substitute when I 
    really needed one and just for having known him as a person. Probably
    the greatest person I have known in my life.
    7. Just having all my senses working and not being disabled in anyway.
    8. That Santa is bringing me an $8 an hour raise just as soon as he
    clears it with Mr. Palmer.
    

    
    
    1.) My God.
    2.) My Son.
    3.) My country.
    4.) My sons report card.

    Imagine putting out an APB on some woman driving around the country
    side with a penis in her hand then discovering that she still had it
    and toss's it out the window! 
    
    What would the cops describe the the penis as?:) Give an M/O on it
    as??:)

    Of course, I read "fat or catholic" as...
    
    "fat or cataholic" and thought, but...

    As much as my writings may indicate otherwise, I _am_ very thankful
    for all the blessings.  For my family.  A wife that has stood beside
    me through some nasty times.  Even encouraged and propped me up when I 
    was most down.  Gave me faith in myself when that faith was wearing
    pretty thin.  Because being there with me she could see for herself 
    what was going on.  Especially for the loan of my children and the
    second...and third opportunities.

    Even for the path that I have walked.  Because if not for the path
    that I walked, I would not be where I am.

    "And we know that all things work together for good to them that
    love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose".
    							Romans 8:28.

    Peace, love, and a thankful hart.

i want to thank the author of note 194.96 for entering a most inspiring
note. i was very moved and touched on reading this particular note.

to me, visiting mennotes is often, revisiting places of great sadness and 
pain. but it is also a place of sharing and healing, for finding comfort and 
hope; for this i am thankful.

as a parent who was once shut out in the cold i know, that when faced with 
what seems like the impossible, getting back to the children, it is easy 
to give up, to give up hope and to give up some of ones own.

i am thankful for all of those who have made us strong, who haven't given 
up hope and who live to tell the tale on how to overcome the impossible. 
it can be done, it is never too late to build that _home_.

"keep on keepin' on" and dream that impossible dream.

our children are one precious gift "on loan" and as 194.96 concludes:
"God doesn't give us what we can't handle...."


peace, love and happiness and may our children grow to be beautiful and 
strong,



andreas.
