Hi guys! I thought I'd share a couple of quotes from Jim Valvano today.
“"Don't give up, don't ever give up."” “To me there are three things everyone should do every day. Number one is laugh. Number two is think -- spend some time time in thought. Number three, you should have your emotions move you to tears. If you laugh, think and cry, that's a heck of a day.” “I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.” Today I'm thankful for: 1 I'm thankful for Dorothy. I'm glad I'll get to spend a lot of time together this summer. 2 I'm thankful that Becca is doing well. I'm thankful for Becca and Mr. Bubbles friendship. 3 I'm thankful for my other fibrobros. Booth84 and Haz. 3 I'm thankful for God and his grace and mercy. Posted on 04/30/08, 08:04 am |

Today I am thankful for:
My dear friends on DS who have given me support and friendship. My children who bring me such joy and are a true blessing. My parents and family who try to understand the "new" me and love me. For God who helps me. I realize that He will carry me through the tough times. ((gentle hugs))

I'd like to start by adding a quotation, in line with your first example, from that great film 'GalaxyQuest': "Never give up. Never surrender." If you've seen the film, make sure you say it in the voice of the aliens, it has more of an impact that way :)
I am thankful for a lot at the moment. *I'm thankful for my lovely boyfriend. I couldn't imagine him being more helpful and supportive, and his feeling proud of me helps me to feel proud of myself and my accomplishments. *I'm thankful for my comfy bed. It really eases the pains, even if it can't remove them altogether. *I'm thankful that we still have enough money to survive, and a little to put away for a rainy day. Everyone's belts are tightening at the moment, and I feel fortunate to not be caught up in the 10p tax fiasco yet (for those of you who follow our news). *I'm thankful that in 27 days' time I will sit my last exam, and my time at Uni will effectively be over. *I'm thankful for the fact that I still have help and support while I feel pants, and that I'm not so badly neglected by my government that I have to work a full time job while I feel quite as bad as I do. Yet. *I feel thankful that I only have fibromyalgia and ME - a couple of weeks ago I got the tummy bug that was doing the rounds, and that made life much harder. Plus, every Dr I see is automatically thinking MS based on my symptoms, and I'm thankful that I've already got the MRI out of the way! *And finally, I'm thankful for Mini Cheddars, especially given their new MSG- and aspartame-free recipe!
