I am grateful for my team here. In my 14 months poz I've found a community of fellow travelers. None of us is alone with this.

I submit we should be grateful for HIV. Yeah for PWLH a good many of us have been horribly impacted. But humanity has had a reason to get into how immune systems function and as a result there are a plethora of treatments for previously intractable illnesses. The lemonade to the lemon that is HIV.

I am grateful I am alive, learning more over time of the history of us humans, and in recent weeks the history of my town, county and state. The ability to learn and understand is awesome.

Peace everyone; and wishes for our best health today.

Out of all the trials you've been through; it sounds like you are doing fantastic. Keep up the great work for others and yourself. Obstacles definitely makes us stronger. There is joy and happiness to be enjoyed every day. Continue to count your blessings. You are a winner 🏆. 😀

I am very grateful for this group, I have learned many things from you. I also feel we have a wonderful connection to one another. After 23 years of having HIV, I now feel like I have others to share daily moment with . Help if I do need it and support from an awesome group of people. Gabriel is awesome at what he does here, and that's not to say each and everyone of you aren't. I'm grateful for finding the group and that you are all here.

Despite no family/ friends anymore to celebrate any holiday with for many, many years, Thanksgiving/ Christmas/ Easter are all like any other day for me. I can't go to church, tried that, I just get emotional and start crying.
However, I am used to being alone during these big festive holidays by now. I come from a large family growing up and always celebrated with family + friends and significant others (all deceased) all my life but since 2009 all that stopped.
However, I am thankful this year for having a part time job I enjoy, thankful for the small dog I rescued from shelter as a one year old , thankful I am able to live independently, pay my bills + eat. Thankful my car is still running strong. Thankful I have more social connections this year than the two years prior when I crushed my hip femur and my German Shepherd dog was taken from me by Animal Control on fabricated lies from the seniors in my apt bldg. First time forced to live in an apt, always lived in a house or condo with a yard and prior homeowner so having to move into a senior apt bldg then immediately crushing my hip then my esa dog removed by lies devasted me. Left me in a very bad emotional state. But...this year I am able to work an office position locally, have companionship of my dog and have met so many people in my community due to just having my dog from joining the social network in the dog park. A dog is a great way to meet people! Grateful I am still alive and undetectable as well. Never, ever miss a dose and adhere to my ID doc appts and bloodwork every three months.
Remember, when you think things cannot get any worse.....oh yes they can! And things can get better too. Human beings are very flexible more than you can imagine.
I am extremely thankful I am not homeless.

I want to thank all of you for taking the time out to join us here, whether on a daily monthly or annual basis ...whatever time you may have to give us. Thank you all for your time consideration and attention to each one of us. ♥️🙏
