What do you have to be thankful for today ... NOW?  |
|
 America celebrates Thanksgiving today. Originally it was a feast to celebrate another year in the New Country when life was very hard but not so hard that you didn't have SOMETHING to give thanks for.
I think that's a very worthy thing to do. To have a day - not necessarily today, of course, if you aren't American, but any day will do - when you stop and think what you are really grateful for.
Where ever you are from ... America, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Bosnia, Bulgaria, India, China, the Philippines, Australia or New Zealand ... or any other place (please speak up and name any I've missed!), let us know, shall we say, three things over the last year that you have (or should have been) grateful for.
The meal is prepared and steaming on the table. We have taken our seats and are waiting to begin the feast. What (for you) is it in honour of?

1.  p1kef1sh (5642) | 1 year ago |  Down here in the wilds of Wiltshire we are not celebrating Thanksgiving although I do believe that The Boss will be serving up a roast chicken for supper. That leads me to two of the things that I am thankful for. The love of my family and the fact that we can still put food on the table. The third reason to be thankful remains my friends. Especially the many online friends who have entered my life in the past ten months. People that I doubt that i would have ever met otherwise and who have enriched my life in so many ways.

 owlwings (5154) | 1 year ago | I agree with you P1key. We don't exactly celebrate Thanksgiving here in England (let alone Wiltshire) but we might, and maybe should! After all, as you point out, we have many friends round the world who do celebrate. Isn't it kind of churlish not to join in?
I give thanks for my friends around the world and would like to be, particularly, with those who are celebrating Thanksgiving today. To those of you who are, there is a very small person called Owlwings who would like to be included. A few pecks at the turkey would be nice ... and two or three cushions to sit on, maybe. | |

| 7. dustinnikki (192) | 1 year ago |  First of all I am thankful to my parents who brought me into this world. My mom and dad were never together and my mom raised me and my brothers and sister alone. I didn't know my dad until about 10 years ago and I am thankful he has been in my life since then. I am thankful for my husband which we will be celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary this Saturday. I am thankful for both of our kids that we have. We have been through some tough times financially and with our 7 year old's disabilities but we are all well and happy despite everything. I am thankful for all of my family. I am thankful for the life that I have and the family I get to enjoy everyday. I wouldn't give it up for anything no matter how tough things could be or how tough things have been.

| 8. mayka123 (2608) | 1 year ago |  At this moment I am happy to be safe and sound inspite of the terrorist activities here in Mumbai. As all would be knowing by now that a lot of people have died and I have lost a very good friend in this terrorist attack. So the first thing that I can be thankful for is being alive today.

| 9. silverglint (1479) | 1 year ago |  I am thankful for the life that I still have, we can never tell how long we will live. I am thankful for the wonderful family that I have, a loving husband and two smart and adorable boys. For the job that I still have, other people were not able to keep their job. For the health, the safety and provision for my family. For the food on the table, not everyone gets to eat 3 meals or more in a day. Everyone has things to be thankful for. Often times we get to engrossed on how bad things are that we forget the daily blessings that we have. Even the air we breathe and the sun that shines is something that we should be thankful for.
