Hopefully, this will keep going after Thanksgiving.

Getting married
Landing a good job
Our new kitten
Yankee Candles
My grandma still living....
Finally having heath insurance
Being done with school and feeling proud of how I did

coemgen · 11-22-2006, 12:31 AM

My wife for her steady love.
My boys, Brendan, 3.5, and Aidan, almost 2, and their power to make me smile (and their ability to recognize each member of U2, no matter what picture I show them).
My parents and my sisters for their infectious laughter.
This new Sufjan Stevens Christmas box set that I keep playing over and over.
My job.
The discussions I’ve had with people here and the people behind them.
This time of year.
Our apartment.
MySpace.
Warm cups of tea.
God’s stubbornness.

corianderstem · 11-22-2006, 01:27 AM

A relatively comfortable life that allows me a roof over my head, food in my belly, an occasional fun money.

A good job with coworkers I genuinely like.

Family who, despite our past differences, are there for me.

Loved ones of all kinds.

Music!

And U2.

Happy Thanksgiving to all here who celebrate it!

lady luck · 11-22-2006, 06:36 AM

I have a house, a job, nice parents & a funny sister.
I have a boy that cares for me and lives nextdoor.
I can study.
I am learning to stand rely on me.

My new friends at Interference and new U218 Deluxe edition and DVD Singles

Happy Thanksgiving

MrsSpringsteen · 11-22-2006, 08:46 AM

That I'm still here, but honestly sometimes not so much. But that I can deal with that feeling more often these days without being paralyzed by it.

For health and being able to walk and talk and see and hear and everything else

For laughter and fun, that I can still have and enjoy both

For the strength that God and God's love gives me, and for his love making me a more empathetic and compassionate and humble person

For a roof over my head and all the other material necessities and luxuries

Family, friends, my dog

For genuinely good decent people

For nature and the everyday simple things

redhotswami · 11-22-2006, 09:29 AM

My doggie
My friends
One semester down, and only one more to go!
My students, who, though sometimes are the source for my stresses, give me purpose in life
Only 5 months left of my crap assistantship
Meeting new people
God's constant reminding me of my dreams
Having the means to type such a response

tiny dancer · 11-22-2006, 09:51 AM

Famly
Friends
A roof over my head, food on my table,and clothes on my back

Irvine511 · 11-22-2006, 10:00 AM

my health, the health of those close to me
genuine romantic love
a job that is on the verge of killing me, but making me stronger
plenty of food, fun, and friends
a younger sibiling who seems to finally, finally working it all out
trips to Germany, Switzerland, California, and upcoming Anguilla this year
fleeting but revelatory moments of clairty and connection

Bono's Doll · 11-22-2006, 10:45 AM

There is so much to be thankful for--I have been reading in the paper this week about the homeless problem in our area--I'm thankful I can take care of myself & have a warm home & food everyday without having to worry about much in my life. I want to feel sorry for these folks but I read some of them make up to $200 a day from people who feel sorry for them. Oh well--Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Golightly Grrl · 11-22-2006, 12:09 PM

I'm thankful for...

My family. Yes, they can be exasperating, but I do love them.

My life-enhancing friends. I couldn't make it through without them.

A roof over my head. Food in my cupboards and refrigerator.
Clothes on my back. And excellent health.

People who inspire me. The famous-Bono, the late Audrey Hepburn, and those who may not be great names, but do great things.

Interference, not only for this wonderful forum, but for also getting my writing career back on track. And I'm grateful for the generous people who let me interview them (hi, Lies).

Living in a world where an intelligent woman like myself can get a great education

The St. Joseph's School in Cameroon for giving my life an added purpose

My new kitty cat, Pokey Jones

My Family and yes my dog is part of the family also.

verte76 · 11-22-2006, 02:03 PM

Food, shelter and clothing.
Great books.

My artistic talent and a great studio to practice it in

deep in HELL · 11-22-2006, 08:58 PM

I am grateful for:

The people in my life, the relationships and love I am able to share

That at birth, I basically won the lotto (comparatively speaking), in the time, place, and circumstances in which I happened to be born

That each new day, I am given an opportunity to try and be a more decent person and make better choices

That there really is no hell
except the hell man has created on earth, or in his own mind

The brilliant, soul bearing posts that many take the time, risks and guts to write in this forum
And that every now and then, some of us, actually do see the humanity in others that are different from us

tiny dancer · 11-22-2006, 09:42 PM

We all here have a lot to be very thankful for!

Dreadsox · 11-22-2006, 09:44 PM

Breastfeeding Threads

My Wife(Apparently Blind enough to think I look like John Cusack)

My children who are gifts from God.

My Church for giving us a place to worship God with others different from us.

The health of my loved ones.

The fact that I have a great job.

Interference - Although I feel my posts have deteriorated over time.

There are to many blessings bestowed on me....that I feel unfworthy of.

indra · 11-22-2006, 09:49 PM

That I have pretty much everything I really need.

That I have a good deal of what I want.

That I don't have everything I want.

**yolland** · 11-22-2006, 10:36 PM
