Oh...Beth, thank you for your friendship. Thank you for the making up this blog. Thank you for your love for your beautiful children who gives me happiness. Thank you for being a wonderful wife and mother. GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! P.U.S.H.
Though we dont celebrate this day in any of the Asian countries, somehow I felt like thanking my close ones today and thereby ended writing this blog.

Please check and do give your comments.
Anyways, there is this one person whom I have not entirely, but still, left out a bit in my day's blog and so I thought of usinf ur one minute writer to pen down a fine thank you note to him.
He was always there, next to me, right from the time I was born into this world but I never noticed him. it was by the time i was in my 12th grade that i started recognising him. and from then on there was no looking back . he was always there to help me through my exams, to help me get the bus though i reached late, to give me new ideas, to help me experience life.. to teach me all about love, happiness and bliss. that was my spiritual guru and today I want to thank you for all that you did and still doing for me. If not for you I dont know where i would have ended up and as what. Thanks... and love you so much for being there.. and teaching me all the things in life!
I don't know who must thank for this cold beautiful day, for my friends, my love, my family, for being alive and being able to enjoy it!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the beautiful reptiles and amphibians I work with for the joy they bring to me. Working with this group of God's creation for the last two years has ignited a passion deep in my heart and I am constantly amazed by the incredible creatures they are...
Thank you for coming into my life.
Thank you for reminding me again of my own worth.
Thank you for unlocking my creative spirit again.
Thank you for being you and being in my life.
Donal, thank you for being someone I love to hang out with. Thank you for doing at least as much around the house as I do. Thank you for being an extremely present father, and a 100% equal partner. Thank you for respecting my mind and thinking I'm smarter than you. (For the record, you're smarter than me.) Thank you for learning and loving Pinochle so we could play with my family.
Thank you, God...for every minute of every day. Nothing happens in my life that you don't already know. All of the adventures, the people with whom you share with me, and the little lessons you teach have all been there every day. I can't ask you to bless yourself, but I can humble myself before you with my gratitude.
Dear Dad,
I know you probably think there is nothing your children could possibly thank you for, afterall you were abusive with words and hit the eldest too hard, alcohol seemed more your friend than our own mother.
However, there were those "moments" that at least one of your children prefers. I remember when you showed me how to tie my shoes, while we waited for mom to come back to the car from shopping. You were very patient. I remember you encouraging us to read good books instead of the comics. I remember you allowing me to drive the car around the yard so I could get used to it. I remember when I lost my first child you took me into your arms and just held me and let me cry my soul out. And again, when my husband chose to go to someone else and my heart broke again. I remember you working so hard. Driving such an unreasonable amount of time just so we could stay in the same school. Your trip was two hours one way. I remember you buying my first college books.
That is not everything, but a good dose of positives that I will hold close to my heart. I choose to forgive you and love you, even though you were not the perfect dad. I truly am Thankful that you have found a way now to say "I love you", words that seemed to difficult in the past to say. I know you did, but now you have no fear of saying them. I'm glad and am thankful you have found your way. You will always have a special place in my heart and I'm thankful. I love you, Dad.
Thank you, Miss Melissa. This is your first year of teaching and you are doing an AMAZING job with my son and the other kids in the Pre-K class. I love your creativity, enthusiasm and obvious joy in the children. My son is blossoming under your guidance and it is a joy to see. Thank you and may you never burn out!
[Well. After reading other comments, I think I misunderstood the question, but whatever.:)]
Dear Lilly,
it was great to see you again. Thanks so much for the books! I'm really enjoying them so far. Say hi to your family to me.
Love, Nellie
Just a few lines to thank you for the changes you brought about, without meaning to. You changed my life and who I am. Even though it didn't work out the way I'd hoped, I'm happy for it having been. I cherish thoughts of you and what we were, and are. See you soon. --Andy
Thank You, Lord. I could say that alone and not mention a thing because the list would be so long and where would I end it? Or how would I begin it?
Even though today is not an easy day for me, being surrounded by the pain and suffering of two people I love, I remain thankful.
A verse I make my own every day is Hab. 3:17-18 --
"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior."
I don't understand why we are going through this trial, Lord. But I trust You. It's hard for me to watch them suffer... especially hard to watch the tears come... but I trust You.
Thank You for the wonderful husband you've given me to help me bear this load.
Thank You for the friends who write me notes of comfort.
Thank You for helping me maintain my own health and strength in all of this, because I need to stay strong.
Oh Lord, please be with others today in a situation similar to mine. Help them not despair. Help them feel Your Presence and see that no matter how it looks, You really are there. You haven't turned away.

Daddy,
You are not here anymore. I don't look at your black and white picture on the wall enough. Most of the time I look at your picture when I am sad, or stressed, or I have some problem that I can't solve, and wishing you were here to help me out.
You were always so tough with me, which made me so strong today. You hit me when I was wrong, but holding my tears in became second nature. You used to be so mad whenever I didn't have good grades, which made me successful now because I don't settle for the less. When I was young, you didn't let me go out, and I had a curfew, but you would allow me to visit family members. Thank you for teaching me filial piety. I now learned to balance life and love.
Daddy, I wish you were here. I'm glad I was there most of the days where you were in the hospital waiting for your day to come. Even though, you still yelled at me, for little things like bringing you photos of the family, poland spring water, visiting when the sky has turned dark, but I know in your eyes, you were grateful to have me and I was happy to visit you. I did not know you were going to die when I was 13. But I have no regrets visiting you.
I can't hand this to you daddy.
I hope you are well, whatever religion is true, I hope I get to see you when I die and say sorry to you, for all the times that I yelled back, or got you mad, and for not listening.
Don't worry about lil sis. She's taken cared of.
I love you dad.
Thank you Beth for opening up this blog for us all to vent out our good and bad feelings.
Thank you Hubby,
For dancing in the kitchen with me last night. For walking in the rain with me. For snoring next to me.
Thank you for the kisses on my forehead, and for checking if I have a fever and telling me I do even if I don't because when I feel ill for some reason it makes me feel better to think I have a fever. Thank you for laughing when I give directions wrong and knowing I get left and right mixed up. Thank you for telling me you like my bottom and meaning it. Thank you for holding my hand. Thank you for driving slower than you want so I won't panic.
Thank you Hubby for snuggling up to me in the night and wrapping your arm around me and pulling me in tight. Thank you for coming to the pound with me and saying no to another dog, but still going to the front counter and paying the fee. Thank you for eating anything I make, even all the deserts when you don't much like desert, tasting five different pies on Thanksgiving is a lovely thing for you to do for me. Thank you for coming to chick flicks with me even though you roll your eyes. Thank you for always putting me to bed and never leaving me sleeping on the couch.
Thank you Hubby for coming back into the house when you are leaving for work just to kiss me one more time. Thank you for looking at me in the morning light with messy hair, and sleepy eyes and no make up and telling me I am beautiful. Thank you for the 1,000 more things.
Thank you Hubby, for loving me.
I love you.

I didn't write it on a notecard, but did just read it outloud to him... and he just kissed me on the forehead. Ahhh... such a love.
Thank You, Abba, for your unconditional love. Thank You for Your inconceivable sacrifice, Your priceless gifts of joy, peace, grace, and forgiveness. Help me to live a life worthy of this calling, and increase my desire and ability to embrace an abundant life by spending everything I have, everything You've given me, on others so that they might know You too. I love You. Thank You, from my deeps.
Dear Mom,
There is no way I could thank you enough for everything you've been to me. Thank you for giving me freedom to make my own choices, and support for all the times I mess up. Thank you for being sweet and caring and loving and every other inspiring word I can think of. I am so blessed to be your daughter.
I just want to thank you for everything; for all that you taught me and all that you made me feel. I've realise how much better life can be, if we just put something into it. You made it all worth it. Thank you baby.
Because I know he'll read this :)
I don't want to thank the academy today since I didn't win any awards. I don't want to thank the generic God that they all thank when they do win. I don't want to thank my coach, my trainer, my agent, or the thousands of fans in attendance tonight.
I do want to thank my friend, Eric. Thank you for pushing through my lazy tendencies and being my friend from such a long distance. Thank you for trusting me with your prayer requests, your joys, your struggles, and your dreams. Thank you for the feedback you give me to help my dreams more of a reality. Thank you for not giving up on me when I gave up on myself and thank you for teaching me what "A friend loves at all times" means. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and may God bless you and restore you to your place of joy :)
(That took more than a minute)
Thank you, Amanda, for letting me cry. Thank you for sitting with me in a crowded place and crying with me. It has changed my life. It's easier to feel emotions, and its easier to talk about those things that you just want to keep hidden in your soul. Although I am still so unsure of this life and faith and all the things you hold dear and beautiful to your heart, give me time. I will heal, someday-with His help. Thank you for letting me be me and loving me anyway.
To all those who put their lives in harm's way for the sake of others -- the men and women of law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and the armed forces --
Thank you.
May we never forget just how much we owe you.
thanks to all that really give me inspiration. really appreciate it..
The Internet houses many "someones," so I'd like to take a moment to thank you Internet. You've brought so many amazing people into my life. Thank you for being there day or night, any time I need you. And for teaching me so many new things, as well as help old friends find me (and help me find them).
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my someones!
who do you thank for something as amazing as the gift i've been given?
The gift of being different. and the gift of knowing i'm different.
the human mind craves to fit in while i know i do not.
I'm thankful for the people i know now. the people i used to know. thankful that i know and love God and am grateful for him in my life. thankful for my sister. my mother-
*end of minute*
I just don't take the time often enough to thank you for sharing who you are with me.
Thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone and dragging me into this wonderful, exciting place that is our lives.
And thank you for understanding when I have to put your brakes on.
"Whereever you go, let me go too."
Thank you Alicia to have forgotten your shampoo at my place after you left me (a little sign from you before I made my proposal would have been appreciated): now I can forever cry my heart out, mourning and moaning on all my crushed dreams, one sweet sniff at a time.
My thanks today go out to the Proton Therapy Institute in Jacksonville, FL. Thank you everybody for giving me my husband back!
This time last year I was trying to wrap my head around the concept of life without him: Now I don't have to, thanks to you. There are more labs to get in January, but so far, it looks like you gave us a cure.
I am thankful for my life . i am really enjoying it. i am grateful that God is a patient God adn He has forgiven adn kept on giving to me. I am in love wiht my husband adn my children. We have health adn happiness.

Thank you...I'm here and that is the best thing!!
I was afraid, and you comforted me, I was weary, and you gave me rest. I was beaten from head to toe, lying by the side of the road, and you came and bandaged my wounds and restored me. I was filthy, and you cleaned me. I was blind, and you gave me sight. I was dying, and you gave your life so that I might live. Thank you Lord! Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Though I was a poor beggar in rags when I met you, you did not recoil from me, but you took off your own robe and covered me. The rich garments of your salvation have warmed my heart! Greater love has no one than this that he lay down his life for his friend! Thank you, my friend, my Lord, my Saviour. My life is yours!
Dear Mom,
Today I would like to thank you. I don't know how to say thanks cos no matter what I can never thank you enough.You are everything for me. My best friend my philosopher my guide. Everytime I have to even say anything your always there. My biggest support in my ups downs. Thanks for always being there.Thanks for everything. Mom I love you.
Thank you Coral, my beautiful daughter, for joining the Marines, serving in Iraq, and coming home safely. I am so proud of you and thank you for giving me such a wonderful grandson in Ivan, Jr!
Thank you Jordan for showing my that I have potential to be great. Thank you for your advice and encouragement. Thank you for your blue eyes and the way you look at me. Thank you for putting up with my crazy moments. Thanks for your honesty and trust. As soon as I learn to love myself, I promise to love you next.
Thank you Eddie for being there for me, for the way you treat me with respect and love, you are so patient and caring and you can't do enough for me, I consider myself very lucky and don't know how I'd get on without you.
I want to thank you, dear reader. I do not know you, but I am sure there is something good you have done today and deserve a sincere "thank you". Thank you consists of only 2 little words and saying it takes only 1 second. But still we forget to say it, when we really should. It is so very important.
To my family - thank you for keeping me grounded and for allowing me to always have a place to come home to.
To God - Lord, life isn't life without you. When I cry, you cry with me and when I rejoice you rejoice with me. Thank you that nothing comes my way that hasn't passed through Your hands first.
To Jocelyn - You are the best friend a girl could ask for. My life is richer for having known you.
To D - Thank you for being there for me this past week. It was a week that nearly broke me and pushed me to the limits of what I could bear. Your willingness to listen and care means the world to me. I am grateful for your friendship.
I'd like to thank our Founding Fathers (and Mothers) for putting their lives on the line to create a free country, and my own ancestors for having the courage to move here all those years ago. They sacrificied so much, so we wouldn't have to.
Best,
Marty
Dear kyle,
thank you for being such a great influence in my life. You've become a great friend, but you're no longer going to be that guy. You've done so much for me, and I've taken so much from you.
Thank you for being there.
Love Charli
I actually just wrote out thank you cards Wednesday evening. It had been my bday recently and I wanted to thank everyone who made it special for me.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for all of the blessings in my life. My family, and friends. I am so thankful to have a job and a home. So many people in my region are losing their jobs. I appreciate all of the opportunities that have been presented to me. I know that I am not perfect and that I lose my way, alot. Sometimes I forget. I apologize.
Love Always
I don't care if I sound like a preachy Jesus-freak; I'm thankful for GOD. He's the only one who is truly there for me. He's given me soooo much, never asked for anything in return, and we seem to overlook his gifts. Thank you for warmth, food, family, friends, home, everything! <3
I'd like to thank the cosmos for belching me up. I'd like to thank eternity for allowing me exists in it for a flash. I'd like to thank my father for showing me how to bravely face death. I'd like to thank you for reading this blog and maybe mine. I'd like to thank all the gods for allowing us to amuse them.
Thank you, feets, for outrunning the guy with the funny hat, the big axe, and the hungry expression on his face.
Thank you all of you who are in the military protecting our country and fighting for our freedom. You all hold a special place in our hearts. We pray for your safety and to return home to your loved ones soon.
Dear Mom,
Thank you for always being there,
Thank you for putting up with me,
Thank you for guiding me,
Thank you for putting me through college,
Thank you for unconditionally loving me,
Thank you for my sister,
Thank you for being you,
Thank you for letting me learn,
Thank you for teaching me,
Thank you for understanding,
Thank you for forgiving,
Thank you for believing,
Thank you for YOU!
Forgive for losing my temper sometimes,
Forgive my husband for his ways,
Forgive my ignorance sometimes,
Forgive for all the times it hurt,
Forgive I didn't listen,
Forgive if I'm not there sometimes
I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

Beth I love your blog, it is so deep, makes me think so deep down inside me! Thank you
Thank you Father God! You give us EVERYTHING we need. I am thankful for my illnesses, they have brought me closer to you and taught me many lessons along the way. Thank you Father God for my family, friends and for the many prayers you answer daily.
Hi mom,
You'll always be the loveliest woman in my life: Thank you for going with me in life side by side and teaching what's good and pure.
(And, uh, thanks for pushing me out.)

Your cute son.

Thank you to everyone that pass by my side in this 18 years especially my daddy and mummy. Although till now I've never experience super big trouble in my life, but I know that you care about me. Maybe in an asian family seldom express LOVE on face. But I KNOW, I 'll use my way to love you too, as the meaning behind the word of 'family',Father And Mother I Love You!!!!
Dear Jodilyn,
I'm so glad we've met. You have been a wonderful classmate turned best friend. I have enjoyed sharing your life experiences with you. Thank you for keeping me sane in our hectic classes. You are a burst of sunshine in my life.
Sincerely,
Katie
