I am thankful for my darling son, Jonah, and that he is healthy, happy and here on earth with me.

I am thankful for my mom, Lillycat, that she not only cares for Jonah during the day, but, cares for him as much as I do. I am thankful for her at the end of a long day, with dinner 'to go' for me, my son all ready for me to take home, for the daily logs of his activities (like NO naps all day long), for her suggestions/tips on child care, for her continual 'it will be okay' comments, and no complaints when I call 50 times a day!

I am thankful for my health, and my pets, my job, my freedom, my friends- really, I am pretty dern thankful of most everything in my life!!!

I am thankful for God and my faith in Him. I'm thankful for my parents, and their good health. I'm thankful for my brother, for my relatives, my friends, my pets, the roof over my head, for my good health and the health of my family, pets, and everyone I care for. I'm thankful for my computer and DSL....he he he. Without it, I would never have known some of you who have really become special friends to me. I'm thankful to have grown up in a place with diversity. It really broadens one's perspective in seeing things. I'm thankful to live in a place with gorgeous weather. I'm thankful for my freedom. I'm thankful for our central AC, that keeps us cool when its hot, and for our heater, that keeps us warm when its cold. I'm thankful for all that God has given me. Really, when you think about it, there is SO much to be thankful for that we just take forgranted everday. If I were to list everything I'm thankful for, the list would never end. God has given me LOTS to be thankful for, and for that, I am grateful too.

I have a lot. heres a few....

For my family, my dad, mom, and brother who gets on my nerves at times, but I know would do any thing for me.
For food. I can't imagine starving!
For a warm house. Freezing in the cold winter would be awful!
For my health. That I am healthy and hopefully will stay healthy.
For money. I am not rich, nor poor, but have enough money to get what I need.
For clothes. Stylish, lol that isnt what counts. What counts is that I have warm clothing.
For my beautiful bunny Speedy. I love him dearly.
For my best friend Lauren on pt. She has definatly given me lots of tips.
For my other friends not on pt. Holly, Kelsey, Macey, Emily, Vanessa, and Stacey.
For love. Imagine a world with hate.
For knowledge. Not knowing a thing would be so... bazaar!
All I want is more more and more and don't really appreciate what I have. Thanks for posting this to remind me all of the great things I am blessed with!;)

You know it's funny all year long I whine and complain about money, sick animals (why my dogs?) goofy neighbors, work, in-laws, blah, blah blah..... But when Thanksgiving comes around I really start thinking of all the things I have to be thankful for! :) But don't worry the in-laws will bring me back to reality before the holidays are over!:p

We don't celebrate thanksgiving in NZ, but all the same I don't need a special day to do just that, I am so thankful for many things in my life, sometimes I do need a gentle reminder of just how lucky I am really, so this is a great thread Kim.

I am so thankful for my family,that my parents are still both with me, I have a good husband and two healthy children.

I am thankful I have a roof over my head, food and clothing and warmth when cold.

I am very thankful to have been blessed to become the owner of my furbabies Ash and Lexie.

Even though my health is not the best at times, I am thankful its not life threatening and that I am not battling something more serious.

I am thankful to live in a beautiful country,where democracy is upheld.

I am just ever so thankful to be alive, to experience what I do in life, may it be good or not so good, the latter I can well do without, but that is what life is all about, to wake up and see the blue skies and the sunshine, or the even the dark clouds and rain, at least I am here on earth with my family, friends and furbabies, and I am so very thankful for that.

Last but not least, I am thankful to have discovered PT, and to have met such wonderful ,open, honest and caring people from all over the world, and even more thankful Hubby introduced me to the world of computers.

I have told this story a few times before.

While growing up, on the nights when the weather is really rotten, Mom would turn to us and make this statement.


"How would you like to be homeless tonight?"

Or

"Where would you go if you were homeless?"


I am thankful for a roof, a bed, a job (sometimes :confused:)
clothes, a car, health, my cat, where I live and the people overseas that protect my sorry arse - oh, I almost forgot.....and the fact that as long as I can keep working, I'll never know the answer to my mom's question.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.:)
