Thanksgiving and Diabetes!!!
It really disappoints me that from Halloween (All Hallow's eve) the stores pass over Thanksgiving to try and cash in on Christmas. I remember as a kid looking at all the cartoons for Thanksgiving. I also remember the 2 -3 plates of food that I would gorge myself with....Of course this is a found memory.
In this economic climate, we all are thankful for something. For me personally, I am thankful that my job has not laid me off (yet it will happen toward the end of the year) so I still have insurance. This came in handy since I just got out of the hospital 2 days ago. I am so thankful for meeting people on this website. This website has been a source of valuable information from people going through the same thing that I am.
During the course of the month of November....please remind people of Diabetes Awareness and the forgotten holiday of THANKSGIVING. If you have any thing you have to be thankful please tell me and spread the cheer!!!

Next to Christmas, Thanksgiving is a holiday I love celebrating. Ive considred these two holidays dedicated for family and special closest friends. These are celebrations i get to be with the most important people in my life. Theres just so much to thank for for Thanksgiving (family,life, health, opportunities,wisdom...) and so much blessings to share on Christmas. Im in my homecity this Thanksgiving...actually our country does not celebrate the holiday. however, its a tradition Ive learned to love and enjoy ever since I got married and lived in in the US. By God, we will celebrate it here too. =)

I love Thanksgiving. It always makes me feel so content. Must be the endorphins from the turkey,lol. I am so thankful for my husband of 36 years, that my 87 yr old Mom is still here with me and doing pretty good right now, my 3 sons who I absolutey adore, the fact that Pete will be home from College for a weeklong Thanksgiving break cuz I miss him so much, for my foster son Keith .... he brings alot of happiness into my life, for my close friends who are there for me when I need them and for this website and all the amazing people I have met here who I now truly call FRIEND. Love you all. Happy Thanksgiving !!!!
