    Happy Thanksgiving to all of those who celebrate (and hope you're having a great day regardless if you don't.)

    So... what are you thankful for?

    As for me, there's far too much I'm thankful for here to list.

    I'm thankful for my close family and my friends. I'm thankful for my business partner, and our first year in business going very well. I'm thankful for all of the fantastic people I've had the pleasure of meeting over the past year, including those in this community. And so much more.

    What about you?

    I am thankful to have my daughter healthy and happy. I am also thankful for having my close family living near me and to be able to see them frequently. Although my life is kind of tough I am thankful to have a roof over our heads and food daily.

    Interesting that you say that you are thankful to god, for good people and for working online. Overall I think we have a lot to be thankful for and this is a good way to see like, what we need to thank for instead of having negative thoughts.

    At the end of last year and the beginning of this year I got into some financial trouble. I made some mistakes and they almost cost my education since I screwed up with the money that was supposed to pay my school fees.I'm thankful for I have been able to get out of the troubles and now am about to graduate.

    Yeah, sometimes we just realize what we have until we are about to lose it. So nothing like putting things in perspective and value what we have because many times it just might be too late!

    My vehicle is in good shape. However, note - I don't want to be jinxed. :rolleyes: The last problems with it involved the transmission - but I got that easily fixed at a local shop.

    Also, my health is in excellent shape and has been for years.

    We are so lucky to have this opportunity to be thankful of everything we have had in ourselves. However, thanksgiving is not only limited to this very occasion. As what the Bible says, in everything give thanks.

    What are we being thankful for? Well, in my case, I first acknowledge the Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ that through them we have been given the chance to live and be guided according to God's will. I am very thankful for the unfeigned love of Heavenly Father who has offered His Only Begotten Son to redeem us from our sins. I am very thankful that I have my own family with my loving and understanding wife and with my ever supportive children, and very inspiring grandchildren. My life is worth living because of them. And lastly, I am very thankful for my fellow being because of them I have a great privilege to serving God through them. It is what the scripture says: if you are in the service of your fellow being, you are in the service of your God.

    Happy thanksgiving everyone!

    Everyday I am thankful to God for my beautiful family, I thank God for my parents and siblings.
    I thank Him for all that we have and enjoyed. I believe all I have is not by my strength or intellect but by the
    Grace of God.

    There are so many things that I'm thankful for and I won't be able to mention all of them since there are a lot, but I'm gonna mention the most important things for me that I'm thankful for. Well, I thank the Lord for giving me such a wonderful family, I thank the Lord for financial blessings and that we don't get sick and we're healthy, I thank the Lord that I am not greedy and I forgive easily, I thank the Lord for every blessings that we receive everyday, and more importantly, I thank God for giving me a loving, understanding, caring, funny, handsome and amazing personal chef slash bodyguard slash big brother slash bestfriend slash husband :D

    I'm grateful for so many things in my life that it's even hard to make a list (because I know there's always going to be something important out of it). But some things I can say are: my own life and the lives of my family and friends, the fulfillment of many of my dreams, and all my professional and material achievements until then.

    I say "thank you, my God" every single day.

    Well given where we are I would be foolish to leave out my children here, and everything that came with that in terms of personal growth and development. It is nice to sit and think about those things for a little bit.

    I am thankful for the first quarter of this year. I pray the remaining part of the year will be many times better than the past. The past was good and by the grace of God the other months to come I will be a lot better. I am absolutely thankful to God almighty for every good thing that we enjoy.

    I'm thankful for my amazingly good health. Although I am in my sixties I rarely get ill and don't have to take any medication. When I see people younger than myself who are in poor health I feel really grateful and for as long as it lasts I will never take it for granted.

    I'm thankful that I'm still alive, I guess? Lol. I don't have a nice relationship with my family, but so far I got 1 friend that I can trust and count on when times get hard. True friends are hard to find, so I'm thankful I found her. We have been friends for 17 yrs. now since we were in high school.

    I just realized that I'm thankful for my pets that give me great joy and relieve my stress when I look at them, their round and innocent eyes looking back at me. I really think they're better than humans, they won't ever betray you like humans do.

    Congratulations @tyche for finding such a good friend who has filled a great part of your life. To have stayed together for 17 years means a whole lot. That said, I will advice you work on the differences between you and your family to create a deeper relationship.

    @tony, Well some people are really incorrigible and they are so set in their erroneous and crazy ways, so you know they will never change, especially of they're old enough to be senior citizens already. If you're dealing with those people then the only option you have is to move away from them.

    I'm thankful for having a family who appreciates me. I am grateful for the loving children God has given me. It makes me think that I must have done something right to deserve all this.

    I do not need to rack my brain to find a reason or purpose to be thankful to God each day. Waking up to see the beauty of another new day is enough reasons to be thankful. Some passed on, you could see another day that experience alone is big enough to render thanks to the Almighty.

    I'd like to say I'm thankful for having a house, food, clothes, and the like. However, if I would be honest, I usually forget to appreciate for these things. Nonetheless, I'm still very thankful for them. Although there are things that I will never forget to be thankful about. I'm thankful that no matter how tough life gets, I still have the people who help me survive. That includes all my loved ones, both family and friends, who give me so much strength. I would do anything for them.
