I've received some awesome PM's. I've also read some great posts. I really thank all of you so much! Especially my K-3 family, you guys have been so nice to me (that's why you're my darlings). I can honestly say that you all were the best part of this process.

Many people mentioned that I should be grateful for everything (and every oppurtunity) that I have. They are SO right. I can't argue that. I realized that I'm a spoiled brat. I should look at all the good instead of complain about the little bad. So that is my lesson for the day.

Anyway, I wanted to make a thread where everyone can take a moment to think about what they're grateful for and post it. This way, you can also find something positive to think about during this process which makes all things seem bleak. I know it's hard for everyone, regardless of your circumstances.

So I wanted to help cheer you up by having us post things that are positive.

Great idea Narina.

Im grateful for my wonderful husband, who is everything i could ever ask for..who is patient,funny and understanding and and and and.......(i could go on and on, but I would embaress him) hee

Im grateful to have a son that is healthy,smart and does not want for anything.

Im grateful to have a great job that I am happy and more than appreciated at.

Im grateful that we were approved a few short weeks ago and that we can start living TOGETHER soon

Im grateful to the many supportive people on this board and website, but especially you guys :luv:

I have alot to be thankful for and it's nice to sit back and think about how lucky I really am. :)

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I am grateful for my amazing sex life with my husband. Since we actually live together now, we get our freak on 3-5x/day.

I am grateful for the incredibly cool convertible sitting on the driveway and the sunny skies overhead here in Hawaii.

I am grateful for my family that comes to visit all of the time.

I am grateful for having a husband who makes so much money that I don't have to work.

I am grateful for my 36-DD breasts because they are so fantastic.

I am grateful that I'm not waiting anymore.

Gee golly - now that I read my list, I sound so superficial.

I'm grateful for my family. They are more than friends, more than supportive.

I'm grateful for my husband. He is a great man, with a great heart. I'm grateful because we found each other and how could i imagine that he was going to be my husband?!?!!! I'm grateful because he loves my two little twin girls as they were his daughters too.

Talking about my daughters, i 'm so so grateful everytime i look at them, their smiles, their words. And when i see them sleeping....oh my God....I'M SO GRATEFUL !!!

And thinking about all this love and how life can be good, i thank GOD because He put all these in my life.

Great day for everybody ( with more approvals please....!!)

Ops....i'm grateful for VJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why? If these things make you happy then enjoy them! Who cares what others think?

PS- I loved Hawaii when I was there. You are lucky! Especially if you can get family to come visit you that long distance!
