As we begin the new year, we should remember those who have blessed us throughout 2013. Who are YOU thankful to? :)

I am thankful first to God; simply put, I could not go on without Him and I certainly would not be here without Him. He's given me a warm place to live and a pretty darn good life, all things considered.

I am thankful to my family. I've especially been appreciating their love since my husband and I split. My youngest brother and my dad in particular have been very supportive, and mom has allowed me to move back in with her (and is incredibly patient with my perpetual foot-in-mouth disease!). I would not be where I am today without my loving family. Dad's gotten me out of a jam or two, as well. Oddly enough, I'm also grateful to my ex-hubby; we did have some great times together and he bought me my beautiful pair of Bartlett's anthias. Splitting up was the best for both of us, I think, but he did leave quite a hole in my heart.

I'm thankful for this forum and the people in it, and not least the people who run it!!! I've been brought to tears on many occasions by the warmth and kindness here, and I'd be quite lost in the learning curve right now if not for all the helpful advice and explanations. I'm really thankful for all the support, spoken or otherwise. One reefers have even offered to help me out recently with a 100g tank for an upgrade, and another has offered to send me some Rasta zoas soon. I can't thank Tuna_bullet and dodgerblew enough!!!!!!

I'm grateful to our pets for being so snuggly and loving (or in the case of my fishes, simply beautiful and healthy!) They're terrific help when I'm feeling down. :) The fish also give me a reason to get up and face the day when depression starts in or the autism makes me not want to leave the quiet darkness of my room.
