Why don't we try something new? Why don't we find something in our day that we are thankful for or something that made us happy?
I took a nice long shower. I then washed two loads of clothes. Usually just one of these things wears me out. I had more energy today than I usually have. It was a really good day. I am playing some of my older games over again. Mortimer Beckett and the Spooky Mansion. I had a frozen pizza for supper. It was great! Oozing with extra cheese. So yummy! Hope you all had a good day! See you here tomorrow. Candy

Trina I am thankful that your son is doing better. I am thankful that my daughter-in-law called us and asked us for help. Never having children of my own, I am truly thankful that I can help my grandchildren out even if they aren't my own flesh and blood. They have might heart.
>October 28. It's not even noon and I have things to put on my thankfulness list. It is real hard for me to get a normal nights sleep. Last night I went to sleep around 9 and woke up around 7.30. I also called my husband at work and he is going by the grocery store this afternoon. My husband isn't one for shopping but, he does this for us without any complaints. He knows that it is hard on my back to do a lot of walking. I feel so blessed to have my husband in my life. I feel blessed to come to myrazzles. I pray that more people will join us so that they can experience this wonderful site. Candy
I am grateful that I woke up this morning and my daughter as well. You see yesterday was a very hard day for me. I had to tell my daughter some very devastating information about her husband. (the kind of info that would make you want to die) My heart hurts for her, and I cry for her, but I am grateful that God does bring to the light what is done in the dark. Im thankful that the information came to me because in the end it may save my daughter. Im grateful that I am able to post this here I also put it on Playfirst in the thankful thread. I don't know how today will go, but I do know that whatever it brings that God will help me endure and I am grateful for that also.
I saw my daughter this morning and I am grateful that she has passed the stage of complete devastation and heartache, and has moved on to the anger stage. I know anger isn't a good thing but sometimes you have to be angry about something to move on. Heartache is to much to hold on to. Im grateful that God is holding on to her and to me at this time and that we found something very funny to laugh about and run those tears away. ~Mohala~
Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry..for you and your dd. Actually anger can be a good thing. Anger can show itself in the form of motivation. Instead of depression, crying and resigning to a bed..anger can be a positive tool to help her move forward. She will need all the strength she can draw on.
Besides, being angry means that she is following the right path of stages...that is very healthy.
All you can do is let her know you are there for her, and let her cry or vent or whatever she needs to do to get it out. God does not put on us more than we can handle. I know that sometimes it feels like he's pushing it a bit....but it will make us stronger.
I send you my best wishes and prayers...both of you.
Thanks Trina My daughter is doing better. She seems like she is getting her strength back. You know that emotional pain makes you feel like you have been hit by a car or something. So Im happy that she was able to get and go to work yesterday and today. That let's me know that she is better. Thanks again for the kind words. ~Mohala~
Ok Today I am grateful that I was able to tell someone about what I have been going through all week concerning my daughter. I am very grateful for meeting this person and feeling that I could confide in them. Thankyou ~Mohala~
Today I am thankful for the ability to handle stress that would have normally caused me to cave. I'm upset today, but I have not crumbled. I have that nervous feeling in my stomach, but I don't feel like there is something heavy crushing my chest. Of course, I could just be in denial, but I am choosing to believe that it is an acquired strength from within that has me sane today.
This past week has been a very rough one. The Fort Hood and the Orlando shootings... I am thankful for the police officers in Fort Hood who without any concern for their own safety rushed in to save other's from the shooter. One was a female officer and the other one was a male officer. These were civilian officers who generally patrol the city streets. So I am grateful to these heroes. Without them many more would of died.
Oh Trina, Im so sorry that you had to have one of those things as I call them. I hope that things are better today for you and me for that matter (lol) I hate those things. Drives me crazy some times. But at least we are able to recognize what's happening to us and able to weather them out. I pray for you and your husband and that things will come back together in a good way for you two. Looks like we both were grateful that last week ended. But this week is going to be better.You know why? Because I said it would be. (lol) I wish it was that easy. Anyway I am grateful for new friends and peaceful places and that the sun is shinning bright this morning.
Oh and Candy I saw that on the news and I hope that you can find a peaceful place in your heart to take away the negative things that has happened this week. So much happens without just cause and we just have to pray to endure the bad that is happening all around us today. Many Hugs ~Mohala~

Mohola...believe it or not, it IS that easy. It is what you say and believe it will be. Mind over matter. Its a matter of strength.
Are we strong enough to insist that nothing will ruin our day. Are we flexible enough to allow disruptions without allowing destruction.
Sometimes we are, sometimes we are not. This weekend I was not. I was in no way thinking about being strong, nor did I care about insisting that my time was not ruined.
I think we should all wake up saying, "This will be the most wonderful day!" And, of course, believe it. Then sing, or hum to enforce it.
When things come up that are not so wonderful, maybe instead of letting it ruin our whole day we should allow ourselves a time limit. Say if my time limit was 10 minutes. When something comes up to ruin my day, I take 10 minutes to cry, or be angry. Then I get up and let it go and get back to my wonderful day.
You notice that I'm not saying week. I'm saying day, because when your trying to cope or make changes you should take one day at a time. I think God is the only one who is powerful to take on a whole week at a time.
Ok well its unanimous.Today is our day and we have control over however it will turn out in our hearts., no matter what anyone else says or does. `Mohala~
My Tuesday wasn't to bad. Everything is the same so that is good on one hand because there was no added stress. Today is Wednesday and I am looking forward to a great day. Happy Tuesday everyone and hope all is well in the Razzle Family.
I am grateful today for waking up. For my close relationship with God. That my sister inlaw is no longer suffering That I have such great friends. ~Mohala~
I'm thankful that I'm feeling better today. I have been sick off and on for 6 weeks now. Since a week after little Brian had swine flu.
It comes and goes. Some days are fine and some are ever so miserable. I wake up every morning with the shakes and dizzy. For the first half hour if I'm standing I have to lean against a wall or something. Have you even seen anyone fall UP stairs? lol
Today started rough, but has overall been a good day and I'm thankful for that.
I'm thankful for feeling fine today. Thankful for new members here joining our family. I'm thankful for all our members here that have become like my family.
I went shopping with my parents this morning. I bought me a winter coat. It is padded and all-weather. It has a hood with faux fur trim. I only gave 29.99 dollars for it. Quite a bargain. I was able to find my hubby a few things. I was going to buy him an air compressor but there are so many and I didn't know the things weigh 300 pounds!!!! I don't think one of those will fit into his Christmas stocking! So instead I am going to cut a picture out of one and tell him to go buy it! I have my Christmas fishing village up. I hope my husband will take pictures so that I can share them with you. It's just a little project that I am passionate about. It even has a little lake with a couple of boats on it. The fishing boat has Christmas lights on it. Well off to do some laundry and cook some supper. Yes those are blessings. So many things we are blessed with and we just don't take the time to think about them or at least I don't. Love you all! Candy
