What are you thankful for?

Post by Clint »

It's Thanksgiving day. We eat turkey, visit with family and enjoy the day off. Even with all of that to remind me I sometimes forget to take even a moment to be thankful.

I'm thankful for food, a warm home and my family.

My mother (Skeeter2) is here and so is my daughter and two or our grandchildren. I have a lot to be thankful for.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you all!!!

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

I am thankful for the unconditional love of friends and for being able to get up in the morning and walk around and make breakfast and eat, and laugh and play and love and hate and make up and live.

I am thankful for having my own hair and teeth at 34, a real achievement. And all the other stuff that I take for granted of course, its a great life really (as long as you dont weaken).

All wonderful things Pinky. The older I get, the more I appreciate my life.

Oooh Weber, I can close my eyes and just smell that wonderful smell, and see sunshine and blue skies. Thanks for posting that...gave me a good little flashback!

I'm breathing deeper now thinking of it ... better stop before I hyperventilate.:wah:

Hey Insom

I live in a small town of about 2,000......5,000 if you add the surrounding populated area. There is little crime.....the sky is black at night, the stars bright, the air is clear, the smell of salt from the Atlantic, the ocean 5 minutes by foot, lots of forest.

Breathe deep, sleep well.:)
