The shirt on my back and the fresh air I breath. Not to mention a happy healthy family.

Golfer isn't being political, he is answering the question. And I agree with him.

I am thankful for our brave troops protecting our freedom and our thoughts should be with them and their families this holiday season.

I'm extremely thankful that my employer is still offering health insurance.

I'm thankful that I don't live in a war-torn country.

And I'm thankful for my wonderful friends and their even more wonderful dogs.

To quote an Old Geezer, who once said..
" I am thankful for every day above ground".
and I am Thankful every day for my perfect, healthy husband, my dear healthy children and Pup, who is a young healthy good-boy ..
and Friends that stand by me, who make me laugh and who remind me of what is important~

I am thankful that I wasn't born a native American when those damn pilgrams hopped off the Mayflower!!

Maybe they were just trying to "free" and "liberate" the Indians the way Georgie Boy is today with the Iraqi people.

Shhhh, just don't tell them how our native friends fared!!!

Albert the Wonderpug has excellent priorities:

Food and Lying in a Heap.

We can all be thankful for that.

*ahem* Anyway, to return to the original theme of the post: I'm thankful for the love of family and friends, the good memories of my departed loved ones, good health for me and my loved ones (especially my sister's hard-fought remission), time off to rest and recharge, the means to enjoy myself and get out of Dodge now and then, and the hope that someday we can all get along and help each other instead of judging and condemning people just because they're Different. I'm thankful that, whether certain people like it or not, there are people out there who value peace and justice and equality for EVERYONE. And I'm thankful that I won't be fighting for buffet-line privileges with Ruben Studdard.

OK, that was a low blow. Sorry, Ruben.

Here's to UNCONDITIONAL, UNJUDGMENTAL, UNIVERSAL LOVE!! Have a super Thanksgiving, everyone!!

For surviving a bad car crash and later a bike one. Have a few lasting problems but nothing to be depressed about, a loving husband, a great dog, and an interest in life.

My relationship with God
My wonderful dh and the blessing of 22 years of marriage so far!
Three great kids
My church family
Good food and friends
The camaraderie on Fodors, where I can learn new things, smile and nod at the posts with which I agree and roll my eyes at the posts with which I disagree.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I am thankful for everything in my life, my family, my friends including new ones made on Fodors, that I live in the USA, my neighbors, that each day brings new joys that far outweigh whatever sorrows or stress that comes my way.

I thankful that there are so many good, caring beautiful and fun people in my life. I am thankful that the ill tempered, the bad mannered, the sickos of the world are not part of my life.

I am even thankful that I do not have to roast the turkey tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May whatever you do and whomever you are with, may your day be filled with gentle blessings.

What am I thankful for? I am alive and well in my house of 37 years! No cancer, no blocked coronary arteries, and no obvious senile dementia.
