    This is a time I like to reflect on what's happened over the last year and what I'm thankful for. I praise God daily for what He's given me and helped me accomplish in my life, for the big and the small things.

    What are some things you are thankful for this year?

    I am thankful for the "normal" stuff I generally take for granted: a roof over my head, food on the table, a steady job, family, friends etc.

    I'm thankful for my freedoms and rights. I'm thankful for discussion and disagreements that can be done in a nice way when tried (Sib and I never agree on political things, but we had a nice long thread in the other forum discussing without anyone freaking out.. too bad lol).

    I'm thankful for rainy days that make the beautiful nature around me grow.

    I'm thankful for pizza, because it's dang good. ;)

    What say you?

    I'm thankful for my family and friends as well.. thankful for fuzzy socks and my husbands smile..

    I'm thankful to be able to choose my path in life and the ability to stand up for my mistakes and in return have people who truly believe in me and my capability's in my corner...

    I'm thankful to be able to talk with my city mayor on the streets of the city and share my views without getting ignored.

    I'm thankful for my trees out back.. for there is where I find peace ~

    And i am thankful for their friendship and guidance with me writing, i never read poetry before coming here and never wrote it either, so i am thankful for you to allow me to bear my feelings without reprise....really you have no idea.

    I'm thankful for everything, the bad and the good.

    For the hope that's living in me and growing in me despite all the death around, for being able to decide what's best for me, I mean in education.

    I'm thankful for that Spanish dude who made me learn Spanish really well, for my pals who were there for me in the darkest of times, for PnQ and poetry in general.

    Well, too many things to count. Thanks for this thread, Britt. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

    ^ that felt like a poem!

    -

    Thanks God for everything you had to offer...
    for the simple processes of breathing, dreaming, thinking, walking...
    for creating everything with an opposite, to give color to this world...
    and for blessing us with two privileges that distinguish us from the rest of your creation... hearts and brains.

    I'm thankful for faith. Without it I'd not be such a positive, fun loving person.

    For dreams. They challenge me to do everything in my power to reach them.

    For mascara and eye lash curlers, without them my eyes would be dull.

    For my best friend who has brought so much laughter and encouragement to my life.

    For family who'd drop anything to help me out.

    For my Godson whose been the only one whose love and adoration has melted me to my core and made my bad days good ones.

    I'm thankful for a working car, clothes on my back, and a roof over my head.

    For orange juice ....I am cranky without it

    For NFL and NHL......no specific reason for those haha!

    Just like this lady once said, I just wanna say- "Thank you for the music, the songs I'm
    singing(and/or playing). Thanks for all the joy(sadness, anger etc etc too) they're bringing. Who can live without it, I ask in all
    honesty. What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me." La-da-dee, la-da-da... eh, you know the rest.

    Happy Thanksgiving. :)
