( 3 / 114 )Thank you, Michael. You lead an army of love that will go on. We may say goodbye to you, but what you gave us will never die! God bless you.

( 3 / 96 )Thanks to Sarah Palin for reminding us how often people in public life, and journalists for that matter, should just say, I have no idea what's going on. She has the chops to parade her ignorance in front of everyone without apology. (Maybe in advance of a federal corruption indictment, too, but that's another issue.) I just hope all those wiseacre pundits on the Sunday talkshows will display the same courage she has.

( 3.1 / 92 )Thank you for being the ONE person in this world that sticks by me no matter how many times I fail you. I really don't try to mess up on purpose... I am finding that I'm an incredibly weak individual. Thank you for believing in me, my heart,...thank you for not leaving when what I did to you was unforgivable. Thank you for reminding me time and time again, that I'm not a mistake, that I am beautiful and have a purpose in this world...

( 3 / 121 )Thanks for the wack-a-doo-ness of your company. The blue-blue world is bright and bouncy now. It's like a pop song when pop songs were worth something. You there - you in the glasses - I want you.

( 3.1 / 92 )I'm thankful for all the heartbreak and setbacks. It made me grow up. I would not have known how to be a good friend and husband to you otherwise. I may not be pretty anymore, but I am solid and I'll be true.

( 3 / 90 )Thanks to my cancer. It helped me wake up to life. It's been hard but then getting a new pair of eyes is never simple.

( 2.9 / 88 )Like so many others, I have lost my job. I cried for days and days, felt so bad. I have a family to help support, a child in college, but only recently did it dawn on me that this might be the best thing that ever happened to me. It gives me the chance and the time to figure out what I should be doing, what might excite me, and to slow down, to reset. That's not to say I'm not still afraid, but now some of that fear gets to be excitement too. At my age, to become someone else? At moments, I feel young again, and I'm grateful.

( 3 / 129 )Hi, G. Watching the new Gatorade ads -- What's G? -- made me think of you and all you've meant to me. You really have been the heart, hustle and soul of my days. Thank you.

( 2.9 / 118 )I was in love with a married man. I tried not to fall. We worked together. We became friends and then things grew in intensity and feeling. He was 10 years my senior. He was kind and funny and saw things in me that I did not. He loved his wife but was no longer physical with her. They were exhausted from raising kids, from making ends meet. They were bored. He felt renewed in my company, as I did in his. We read to one another. We learned so much from those novels. We laughed. We really loved. I even loved his wife, his kids. But he wasn't leaving his family and he couldn't make me part of it. It ended. Painfully. So painfully. As I always knew it would. But I am grateful for every moment, every touch, every book read. How at home we were. He really saw me, knew me. We didn't make one another up. I won't let myself love another married man again, and I'm grateful for that, too.

( 3.3 / 134 )I want to thank my dog. She's great. A zen master, I realize, with her simple ability to focus, unerringly, in the moment. On a toy, a game of fetch, her food, and even me. Occasionally, I could swear she's even meditating. Focus and simplicity. I'm grateful for the example and for how much love she inspires in me.

( 3 / 105 )I never thought I'd get over her. I never thought I'd be happy again. I loved her for nine years. She was never satisfied with me. I moved out. I made changes. It all felt like a forced march. It was the worse kind of loneliness. But I am happy now. It took time. I feel free. I guess I'm writing today to show some gratitude to time, to the process, how simple it can be, taking it day by day.

( 2.9 / 144 )I don't advocate cheating on your husband or wife. I don't mean to suggest to anybody to do what I did, to sin, but I did -- I slept with a man who is not my husband. My husband, who is older than me, lost interest in sex years ago. He encouraged me to go outside our marriage, but I was raised Catholic and wouldn't dream of it. I love him, honor him. Then I met this guy at a friend's party. There was this instant thing -- playful, sweet, and really sensual. After a few months of saying no, trying to be a friend to this new man, I did sleep with him. Ever since, I have felt reborn, alive, desirable, freer in my body and mind. I am so grateful and especially grateful for the understanding that sinning is sometimes about freedom. Sometimes it is about loving yourself.

( 3.2 / 139 )I thank the stars or the power behind them that makes good things happen to those trying to be good people. I find myself with a mate of the highest quality. A gem, rare, perfect. She's all style, brains, fun, determined, and maybe best of all, she's got an angel's face and an assassin's ass. I wake with a smile.

( 3 / 130 )i am grateful that life gave me the oppurtunity to revisit my mistakes till i got the lesson no matter how bad it was. i used to blame karma fate destiny murphys law, never felt life was fair or even close, like i always was paying for my past mistakes, i blamed everyone for everything, kept wondering why i was always in a mess till i grabbed on to the thought i am in control of my life, my thought and focus bring what i put in and get from the universe

( 3 / 140 )Thank you for loving me; thank you for understanding. Thank you for letting me vent, letting me complain, for being a slouch, for being moody. Thank you for putting up with me being so worrisome. You have no honest idea how hard I fight myself to keep from crying out of sheer joy when we spend time together. Thank you for letting me in when I know that it’s rare when you do. Thanks for telling me my questions are stupid, kissing me and answering them. Thanks for saying "OW!" when I punch you during your workouts when I know I couldn't bruise a peach. Thank you for giving me credit when I am owed it and denying it to make me prove myself. Thank you for 2 and a half years of being in love and being my best friend. Without you, Aaron, I'm pretty sure I'd still be me, but not the me I'm meant to be. Thanks for fumbling the words "I love you" two weeks into our knowing each other and saying you respected me first. Then owning up to it 20 seconds later.
...and thank you for bringing up marriage before me. It makes me feel better since I thought of it first.

( 2.9 / 122 )I had liver disease. I would have died, but my brother gave me half of his so that mine would regenerate. It did. His did. And now we fight all the time over nothing. I bought him a car. I re-roofed his house. I tell him how grateful I am. I'm telling you too so maybe he'll stop looking at me like I killed him.

( 2.9 / 115 )You died three days ago. You suffered so much. I saw it all and couldn't do anything but keep seeing and making sure there were drugs and blankets and ice chips and my hand to hold. Then you were released from it. I saw it go. I am grateful for that. I have cried for all three days. I miss you, yes. I cry because I miss you already, even as sick as you were, I miss you so. But I cry harder because I am so grateful. I'm grateful for how much you loved me, for how much I loved you. How often we laughed and understood, even through your illness. I know now that it was a miracle that we found each other, that we weathered so much. I could die now but for this gratitude. I am so tired. My darling. My darling. I have no one to tell all this because you are not here.

( 2.9 / 111 )I am thankful for finding a job I can look forward to each day. I am even more thankful for the fact that my boss hasn’t fired me yet. Sometimes I think we forget keeping a job can be just as hard as finding one. Every week, it seems, I throw away essential documents, oversleep by two hours, or absentmindedly insult a superior in the elevator whom I didn’t realize was standing right next to me. So I must thank my boss for seeing past these indiscretions and allowing me to keep on doing the job I love. I just hope it’s something she’s thankful for too.

( 3 / 143 )I know how scared you are sometimes and how sad. I know you don't like growing old. I know you can't bear how your face has changed, but tonight at that dinner party you were happy. You were there with all of us so much that you forgot how hard you feel life can be. You forgot to worry, and I got to see what a beauty you are, Mom.

( 3 / 134 )Undying thanks to my parents for putting up with me when I was a kid. I was a mess. I was mean. I was like the worst teenager on the planet. I'm not kidding. I slammed doors. I crashed cars. I stayed out all night. I drank and smoked and more. I'm lucky they didn't send me packing.
