Today, I am thankful for....

[CathyCanada]

my family's good health. I see so much pain here in posts where folks have sick parents, children, other family members or are ill themselves and my heart goes out to them. I am truly blessed that at this time my family is healthy.

While in Canada we celebrate our Thanksgiving in October (sort of a harvest celebration), I hope it is ok that I join in with my American friends to be thankful for what I have today.

Wishing each of you a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!
What are you most thankful for today?
Cathy

CC!!

Well said, and so very true! Thank You!

I give thanks for life itself...never perfect, but whenever it seems difficult...if you just look around .... there will always be people who face an even tougher go at it....

..I give thanks for many many blessings...not the least of which are the dump truck loads of wonderful beauitful people right here on the DIS...who by-in-large are exceptionally giving and careing human beings!


Oh...and CC....Of course you're welcomed to join in! Few other nations in the history of the world have ever shared as much in common as our two great lands!

Great post CC!!!

I am thankful for my beautiful children who enrich my life. I am thankful for their health and their happiness.

I am thankful for having a job, and a home with food on the table.

I am thankful for the rest of my family.

I am thankful for some very special people in my life who have supported me through times when I thought I would never get through. I am truely blessed to have crossed paths with them.

I am grateful for the freedoms I have in this country, which I would not have had in my own.

I am grateful for life....it has thrown me a few curves lately, but I am still here, and am grateful.

I am grateful for all of you, who make the DIS such a great place, which I keep coming back to...day after day after day...


Thank you!!!!

The family I have coming over today, the good fortunes I have had lately and the friends I have made here on the DIS(you know who you are )

So true, Cathy. I think I can simply echo Blondie's thoughts.

Yes, good health!! It is so precious, and I thank God every day for it. And just like Goofyposter said, you can look around and always see somebody else having a more difficult time than you. I count my blessings every day, not just on Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for, especially for health and family. I have a truly wonderful husband. I am so thankful to have him. And I'm thankful my grown children live close by so we can see them often, and the grandchildren too. I'm thankful to have a nice home, clothes to wear and food on the table. So many don't even have those basic items and I count myself fortunate to have everything I do have. I may not have everything I want, but I truly do have everything I need.

Yes we've already celebrated our Thanksgiving here in Canada but I still want to wish all our US friends a very Happy Thanksgiving......we really do have to count our blessings as we have so, so much! Hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends!

I am thankful for my family, even if I can not spend this day with them, and that they are in good health.

I am thankful for my many friends, specially the ones who have invited me to spend today with them (since my SO and I just broke up two weeks ago and it ruined the plans I did have).

I am thankful for having everyone I care about in my life and for them caring about me.

Hi CC, thanks for sharing those sentiments with us!

I count the DIS among the many blessings in my life

 

[lil mermaid]

I am thankful for friends and family, and especially for DH and the baby we are expecting in July!

Oh my....I got a little misty reading this post.
I am thankful for my family. My children are happy and healthy and unbelievably wonderful young people. I am thankful for their excitement this time of year. I am truly thankful for my parents...if I would have been able to choose my own parents I couldn't have done any better than what I have. I am thankful for my husband. We've been married for 15 years now & I am thankful for every moment we've had. I am thankful for his family, they are the best in-laws a girl could hope for.
I have a wonderful group of friends who I am eternally grateful for...they are the most wonderful, generous loving group of women you'll ever find.
I am also thankful for the community I have found here on the Dis. I'm amazed everyday at the wonderful people who I've met here.
I truly am blessed.

I am thankful for my family, my friends and for being given the opportunity to wake up and see a new day. That's about all we can ask for. Happy Thanksgiving CC and all DISers.

Happy thanksgiving, CC.

I'm thankful that my only child has finished his schooling and is working at a real grown up job. I know it sounds silly but I really worried about having to support an adult child. So I'm grateful that I'm not having to do that.

 

[Patrick IL.]

I am thankful for our health and my family. I am thankful for my wife who tolerates and encourages me. I also thank God for the ability to properly support and educate my kids. I am very thankful for a very small close group of friends here that I consider my family, and also for the hundreds of other disers who I have encountered over the last two years. This is a great place, we are lucky to be able to share it with one and other. Thanks CC, I think we all have much to be thankful for.

Thank you CC!! I guess I am more thankful than anything else right now that my DH didn't have leukemia and that his white blood count is dropping. We now know that it was thought that he might have because of his hight white blood cell count! I am thankful for health, freedom, and my family! I am thankful for so much!!

 

[Nikole]

I'm thankful for my life in general. I'm very fortunate to have the family and friends that I have, my health, etc. I feel very fortunate just to be alive each day!

Thanks CC

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
