    Just a little list of things (in no particular order) I'm thankful for this year. Feel free to add your own.
    • The love of the most wonderful woman I've ever known
    • I'm not spending another holiday unemployed.
    • I have a great car. (Come on ... you knew that one was coming)
    • The PriusChat community.
    • I am healthy enough to do anything I want to.
    • The sense of community in my town.
    I hope everyone who celebrates it has a wonderful Thanksgiving. For those who don't celebrate, just have a wonderful day.

    More and more, I'm realizing that I'm thankful for all of it.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

    a loving husband
    furry and feathered companions
    family and forgiveness of such
    the years of work we've put in about to pay off (we hope!)
    a thesis project i enjoy, a work environment i thrive in, a great boss
    that DH is happy doing what he does, and his employer is good to him
    the roof over our heads, the food in our cupboards, and the basic needs that are met
    health insurance
    my tumor is benign
    his lumbar discs are not herniated
    stepping outside each day and taking a deep breath, hearing the water running into the pond, and knowing i'm alive, that noone is going to try to take my life away from me today...

    Okay, here goes...

    The fact that my holiday family obligations are already done, and I get to spend the day at the movies.
    My 2 kitties, although one of them isn't too bright.
    My Prius, of course!
    Wonderful friends
    No debt (except for the Prius
    All the material stuff I really need, plus a few things that I really love (paintings come to mind)
    The fact that I found out about a potentially dibilitating health problem (ministroke) in time to make some lifestyle changes.
    Great doctors
    health insurance
    The fact that my family lives 70 miles away -- close enough to see my sister whenever I want to and far enough to see my father only rarely.
    The ability to make baskets. And homemade ginger snaps.
    On and on and on

    Whew! This was good for me. Despite poor physical and mental health, I have sooooo much to be thankful for!

    Peace --

    Sorry Proco.. looks like I was writing a similiar thread the same time you were posting yours.....

    I deleted mine.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Yes, giving of thanks!.. I'm thankful thats something we still do in America!
    Thank God, its still an American Tradition!

    And if you don't believe in God and your thankful, you'll have to figure out who you are thankful to! :lol:

    I just want to offer thanks that we live in the United States of America and its still safe "so far".

    Although some 3rd world countries are not yet targets of terrorism, few are not targets and none are immune.

    Almost every country which represents freedom and technological advancements have been targeted "Even Russia who makes trade with them!"

    As much as there is corruption and wrong in America, it also has enough light within her that she still stands and proclaims her freedom with the Statue of Liberty... something we may not enjoy much longer as we give away our secrets, our trust and our freedoms to those bent to destroy us.

    In spite of what you think about politics, be thankful its not ten times worse and that your still an American!

    Yes, I'm still proud to be an American!, made up of mere mortals with imperfections, shortsightedness, and vulnerablities to being consumed in our own selfishness....... but we still love freedom and we still value life!

    Because of that... even as in the days of the Mayflower... They're still Coming to America!

    The latest election results

    My Prius, of course

    The fact that I have a positive cash flow again

    The fact that the One True Relgion, The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, is gaining more and more popularity every day.

    World rejoice, the secret is out.

    Must be a reference to the worshippers of the Windows VISTA programming code. :p
