The following appeared on another thread so I thought I'd transfer it here where it will get better cover - this is a thread of general thanks as well as thanks and praise to God:

I received a parcel today! (Not quite the stuff that warrants a thread to itself I know). But here's the thing... I had attempted to join in with Secret Santa last Christmas - and made a pig's ear of it all round! The parcel sent to me arrived when I was out and somehow I missed being able to collect it so it was sent home again. And because of a bunch of challengy things in life I failed miserably in getting a present sent to my Santee. See, FAIL!
So... jump forward to today and I had another parcel-to-collect note - and I collected it (yay me!). It was a lovely "un-Christmas non-birthday 'just because' pressie package" from Janine. So I wanted to say a big thank you for my Gumbo spices (I know what Gumbo is now having got hooked on 'Hart of Dixie'!) and a lovely ceramic plaque with part of 1 Corinthians 13 on (and a lovely shippie note on the back) and a great magnet too!
Of course this thread may sink to the bowels of the Ship when I've said my thanks, but I thought that maybe this could be a place of wider Ship thanks (without being a popularity contest thrown in!)?... We'll see. But Janine... thank you ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I keep thinking of those award ceremony thank you speeches so maybe we could have one of those here?
So in that vein...
*Sob* I couldn't have received this lovely present without everyone I've ever known. I'd like to thank the customs people at the other end for not unwrapping it to have a nose and make a pathetic attempt at putting it back together with half the contents missing and the pilot who flew the plane and just everyone who touched my parcel on the way, my mum for teaching me to say 'thank you' and not least my postman for writing all over the card about six times so I wouldn't forget to take ID... I love you all. Oh and *sob*.

When I wasn't up to going to a Santa Fe meet one spring, she got me a totally unexpected, little Pueblo vase.
And JB and Motherboard were also kind enough to send a package of meet goodies so I could feel a part of things at a distance.
The Ship really has a lot of special people. ![[Overused]](graemlins/notworthy.gif)

Thanks that my friend M seems to have got the nasty prescribed drug out of his system and is feeling loads better. He has said he may even go to college today - he works all week [6 days] [though not this last week] then does a Sundays only degree course!

I am full of thanks for all the kind words here, and in Another Place, after having to put my kitty to sleep. It means so much to me to have such an abundance of love and concern in what has been such a sad, agonizing decision.
I am also deeply grateful for my family and dear IRL friends who have hugged me and cried with me.
You know I couldn't bear it without you all.

Sorry to hear of your loss JJ (()) They form such a part of our lives, those furry friends ...
Many many thanks that the much-delayed conference call this morning actually passed off much more smoothly and productively than I could have anticipated. Prayer can be answered in so many different ways - more than we can ever imagine.

in the flooding - my friend had to leave her home and couldn't find the cat outside. the it flooded bad - no dry ground at all. She feared the worst. they let her back home today and she found the cat holed up in the attic, high and dry. Another friend had to just set her dogs loose because she had to be evacuated by bus. When she came home they were on the porch smelling of fish and looking very happy.
small but wonderful blessings.

I saw the hospital consultant this week. I have NOT got rheumatoid arthritis. I've got achilles tendonitis, which won't spread to other joints and will heal if treated gently.
This is an AMAZING relief.

I'm full of gratitude today, simply for being alive.
I remember leaving work on Thursday, and I remember waking up in the ambulance. I was told at the hospital I hit an eighteen-wheeler.
I fractured a sinus, I have nine stitches near and in my nose, I have four staples in the back of my head, and a black eye--but I was able to spend Thursday night in my own bed. I'm back at work today, and my Halloween costume should be stellar this year!
I've seen my truck--it's also clear I was rear-ended (although I don't know if that was before or after I hit the semi). I seem to have no traumas that time can't heal with a little help from Lortabs. I am so aware it could have been significantly worse.

Isn't it annoying when your exhaust breaks going over those speedbumps in multi-story car parks?
That happened to us this evening but thanks to the AA and a nice chap from a Newport garage who rigged a 'running repair', Mrs S managed to get us home without deafening the neighbourhood.

Almost a year ago, (Nov.), I was diagnosed with metastitized melanoma. In the normal course of things -- at least as they used to be before a couple of new therapies -- I should be dead or near death today.
But here I am, 10 months later, still symptom-free and with just 3 spots on my lung, and feeling perfectly healthy. The immune therapy I was given may or may not have been a factor, the docs are not sure, but in any case, whatever the future bring, i have been so incredibly blessed. How can I ever adequately thank you and praise you, God!

Grammatica - I'm really pleased you did so well but please don't post in languages other than English without providing a translation. There may well be shipmates with even less command of Latin than me, though such a thing is hard for me to imagine!

Why am I posting a link to a horse race?
The reason is not that the horse in question is the best in decades if not of all time, but because his trainer, Sir Henry Cecil, is in a desperate fight against stomach cancer.
We can't all have a Frankel for company, but I'm impressed and grateful that God gave him to a man who needs all the help he can get.

So the lovely man I have been talking to online has asked me out for coffee. That coming just after (literally a matter of minutes) reading a particularly powerful prayer as part of someone's blog post, makes me feel like things are perhaps changing. Don't want to give into a false sense of security yet but this week (month?) has been not a happy one at all, and I nearly broke totally today. But something feels different. Thanks and praise for hope.

For several years my phone bill has been much higher than it needed to be but i was too confused/lethargic/intimidated by red tape/unknowledgable about the technicalities involved/ or whatever (in any case shame on me) to fix it. I give thanks to my very good friend and non-genetic brother (who is phone savvy) who with a call cut my bill in half. God has blessed me so much with friends and loved ones.

I posted on the Prayer Thread a while back. My sister's op went well, and she seems to be making a good recovery. My mum is now in a Nursing Home - not a great solution, but the best available in the circumstances, it seems. My colleague seems to be doing well ...
.... the worst and best news is my friend. They found cancers in both breasts and declared that they were 'almost certainly' secondaries - a week of misery and a CT scan later, they decided that there is no other cancer anywhere else in the body. So now cancer in both breasts seems like good news. Feeling grateful anyway.

1. I had a conversation with my doctor in which she ascertained I was taking the wrong asthma meds
2. I am now taking the right asthma meds
3. They are kicking in.
4. I can BREATHE! I feel like a whole new woman!
I had gotten so used to mediocre breathing that I just assumed it was normal. Only took a rescue inhaler when things got extra bad. I finally got into the "activity induced" aspect of my condition, and the doc just shook her head at me like I was an idiot. If you have activity induced asthma, she said, you really need a "daily."
Maybe I can take up fencing again, for reals!
