So, what are you thankful for?

[MrScorpio]

Me, I am for my family and friends and even my neighbors and thankful that I'm still breathing for another year.

I'm thankful that I express myself through words and music and that I can share my expressessions.

I'm thankful for what little possessions I have, because I know that they can be lost at any time.

I'm thankful that I can be thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

3. Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone

I'm thankful that I have been here and now for this brief moment, that I have been allowed to stand on the shoulders of giants in order to reach some faint glimmering of understanding of the strange and marvelous universe that we inhabit.

I'm thankful that I have enough good food to eat and clean water to drink, a warm and dry place to sleep when it's cold and wet outside.

I'm thankful that I have a dog who adores me and is in fact keeping my lap warm even as I type this.

I'm thankful for the good people of DU and other sites I go to who keep me challenged, informed and entertained.

Godspeed y'all.

[lovemydog]

6. That's beautiful.

All the posts in this thread are beautiful.

I'm looking forward to reading more of them, as folks read the thread and post their own thanks.

We truly have much for which to be thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving Fumesucker!

4. Heat, a bed, food.

I give thanks for that every night.

I'm thankful for friends. I'm thankful for horses and dogs and whales and nature.

I'm thankful for music, movies, art and humor. They brighten up life.

I'm thankful that I have talents that can help others. I'm thankful that I have a sense of humor.

I'm thankful for everyone at DU.

Happy Thanksgiving!

5. A number of things.

I am thankful I can finally call my partner of almost 13 years my HUSBAND (whom I am greatly thankful for!).

I am thankful for my family, including those who are not blood related.

I am thankful for my pets...including the ones I have lost, despite my sorrow.

I am thankful for being able to afford healthcare, despite the damn doctors not knowing why I am sick.

I am thankful I get to be me.

I am thankful for friends I have met here and for ones I have yet to meet.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[lovemydog]

7. Happy Thanksgiving Behind the Aegis.

I am glad you have a wonderful husband to share life's joys and sorrows. And real people behind the screens here at DU.

[Behind the Aegis]

11. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, lovemydog!

If your screen name is any indication, you have someone who loves you unconditionally too!

12. My Immediate family

Curly and Thomas

[ReRe]

24. Which one is Thomas?

You have a lovely family. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

[daleanime]

13. I'm up, I'm mobile, I'm not in the hospital....

it's a beautiful day.

[840high]

27. Yes it is. Dinner with my

kids an extra joy.

[kairos12]

14. I am thankful that my family is healthy.

[rogerashton]

15. Still up, feeling pretty good, and headed for the trails after 72 years. nt

[logosoco]

16. Family, a place to live and food to eat.

And, oddly enough, thankful that cell phone companies decided they can still make money by offering cheap phone service in Africa!

(never before have I been thankful for something so corporate! But this year I am very grateful for that!)

[IdaBriggs]

17. Family, friends, good health (except for nasty cold, recovering) and a personal first...

TWO posts on the Greatest Page at the same time!!!

I also got my second non-meta hide for flat out calling someone a liar instead of the more politically correct "mistaken", but I am even thankful for that: I needed the reminder that recognizing "on purpose playing dumb" can be a successful strategy when attempting to justify criminal acts, and will now look for it going forward, so an educational moment for the win.



ON EDIT: Make that THREE! Wow! DU!

18. I am thankful for the Kubota generator humming away out in the garage.

And for the Kubota tractor with the bucket loader that has already begun cleaning my driveway. I'm thankful the transformer across the road that burned completely during the snow storm (and I mean completely . . . it's gone) didn't torch the house. Finally, I'm thankful I don't have a house filled with relatives expecting a nice dinner. We're having a Cajun Thanksgiving . . . gumbo for all!

[TNNurse]

19. I am thankful for

Surviving cancer
Being able to retire in three weeks (but asked to work one day a week for awhile.... no more 12hr shifts on my feet)
Knowing that next year there will be no holiday work schedule for either of us..... husband retiring next summer!

Family, friends and like-minded people on the internet who keep working toward democratic values....

And yoga, I am stronger and a little more positive because of it.

[heaven05]

20. my animal companions

and that people still have the courage to stand against the might of unjust power and it's murderous application(s).

[TBF]

21. My children,

my dogs, and modern medicine (my health isn't the best but I have great caregivers).

[UglyGreed]

22. My children

and of course my wife who should of dumped me long ago.

[FLPanhandle]

26. My poor wife has been with me for over 20 years.

Not sure why, but I'm glad.

[UglyGreed]

28. I'm glad too

it must be the water or our damn good looks my friend, Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

[B Calm]

23. I'm thankful for the Affordable Care Act. It has made it possible for us to retire at age 62

instead of waiting until we are age 65 for Medicare. Retiring early has opened up two jobs for the unemployed!

[FLPanhandle]

25. I sometimes look around and can't believe my luck.

Right now, today, is what I will look back at when I'm old and retired and "thinking about the good times".

[samplegirl]

29. For Employment

Even though after my husbands job loss of 31 years I am working 2 jobs...We both have jobs and without work there would be no turkey. So many things we take for granted......my heart goes out to every homeless person today!

[cal04]

30. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

and everyone here on DU

I am very thankful I still have my mom, at 87
My family, friends, and all the people on DU who help me get through everyday

[ReRe]

31. Too many to list here...

... but will name the ones at the top of the list.

DemocraticUnderground.com, the computer that connects me to it, and all the beautiful minds that hang out here.

My family, my pets, the roof over my head and that I woke up this morning to celebrate one more Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, MrScorpio, to all DU members and all DU non-members who lurk here every day as I did for 10 years before finally signing up 2 years ago.
