  Hi Irish, yes we all have so much to be thankful for, life, freedom (so far) and Shine Friends-more than we can count.

  If I may add something for those who do feel helpless, useless and just down and out. Yes there are people in worse situations, but what always hepled me when I was feeling down is this. Think about other people and how bad their situation is and try and do something to make them feel better. In helping them and getting a big grin, your heart will warm and your pain will melt away and you too will smile. If not, then give, give, give of yourself until it "feels good". Sometimes that means giving your last dollar to the offering plate at church. Yes, really.

  God bless you all and your families and friends.

  Irish, I am extremely thankful to have found SHINE and all the wonderful people that I have been in contact with. And I always give special thanks for YOU. You are the most fun to talk to. I just love it!

  Dont forget, I am going to be bugging you for your black bean soup and nutritional tips for the website.

  Hugs to you

  Oooo...soup? Someone say soup? This is a great time of year to pull out all of the soup recipes and lets not forget chili and stew!And while I am talking stew here, would a certain Irish lady have an Irish Stew recipe "laying around" that she might be willing to share? The things that I am most thankful for are not the things that can be bought or replaced by $$$$, friends being one of the top things on the list. You are a ray of sunshine in this mama's life and when I looked, every pic from your get together you just "radiated" joy! :0)

  Hello Irish,

  I just got back home from visiting my in-laws and told them all about our trip. I'm still talking about it and making references to it.lol I have so many things to be grateful for, finding Shine,meeting some very wonderful people and so many other things I'm starting to weep so I better not go on and on and on... I framed one of the pictures and your all right there while I paint. I feel God's blessings, thank you God!

  My love,peace and blessings I send to you Irish and everyone here on Shine.
