I’m thankful for the good Lord above for his blessings. I’m grateful for my son AJ, family (human and the furballs), friends and my boyfriend Greg. I am also thankful for the talented wonderful skills of my eye surgeon, who saved part of my eyesight so that I may enjoy the beauty that GOD provides.

I'm thankful to have this board back and a great Co-Moderator to run it with! And of course for all of you that agreed to the ROP!

I'm thankful for freedom of religion. Last Thanksgiving, we had a young man from the Ukraine stay with us for the weekend. He told us that his father does not go to church because he would never get a raise or promotion at work if he is seen coming or going from church.

I am also thankful for DH, and 2 DSs. Raising children is SO hard today, and I'm proud to say that both *boys* have grown up to be wonderful people.

I'm thankful DH was diagnosed and begun treatment for bipolar (yes, sounds pretty odd that I'm thankful that he has an illness--but it's a long story!)

I'm thankful for very healthy children.

I'm thankful for friends that have been there for me through some very trying times.

I am thankful for what we have. IE: health, food, clothing, family, home. I see so many people who dont have the money for just the basic needs. Its a real eye opener for folks to work with these people who are really in NEED . alot of our needs are really wants. but these folks have real needs. ( food , clothing. meds, heat)
I am also thankful for the wonderful God we have . Without him, we would be no where.

I am thankful for my daughter, husband and my 2 furry ones.
I am thankful that God is a part of our lives.
I am thankful that my husband has a job that provides for our family.
(This is a HUGE praise since there were a couple of years when there was no security. We were vicitms of downsizing not once, not twice, but three times in 2 years.)
I am thankful that there are so many men and women that are willing to sacrifice their lives to defend our country.
I am thankful that our family is in good health.

I am thankful that the Lord led the surgeons hands and helped me to be here today. A little over a year ago, I had a triple aneurysm to burst in my brain. It's been a difficult year, but I am still here for my family! My chances for survival prior to the surgery were .01%!!!!!! I was released from the hospital in time to celebrate my 50th birthday....and then my 51st! Truly a miracle!

I am thankful for the gift of life and health so that I am able to enjoy the holidays and every day with the people that I love. I am most thankful for my dear and loving family and friends: my brothers and sisters, Kenny, Marva, Everett, and Nikkia; my three beautiful children, Tatiana, William, and Jared; the love of my life, Larry;my mother, Lorraine;my grandmother, Bernice; my nephew, Makiah;and my other friends and relatives. I am thankful to have a roof over my head, heat, and plenty of food to eat, especially in these times when so many are in need. I am thankful to have a job that I enjoy and that helps me to support my family. I am very thankful for this online community that has given me such good ideas, friendship, and advice. Happy Thanksgivings and count your blessings!

I am thankful for my neighbor's gnome collection (just kidding - that always makes me smile - my neighbor has a gnome under his tree in the front yard and I constantly think of sneaking another gnome under there just to see if they would notice it).

I am thankful for my family being safe, happy, and healthy. I am a very family-oriented person when it comes to my family (DH, DS, and myself) and I feel so blessed to have such a great family.

I am thankful that we have food to eat, a warm place to sleep, and vehicles to drive.

I am thankful that DH has such a wonderful job that allows me to stay at home to be a full time mother/wife.

I am thankful that we have such terrific animals. They make us smile and show us so much love every day. Even on an awful day, having 2 dogs and a cat greet you at the door with smiles and tails wagging can always turn a frown into a smile.
