It is definitely that time of the season, and in my blog I addressed it, but I thought I'd post it here...

I'm thankful...
...for my family, who support me in all of my decisions, no matter how harebrained.
...for my friends, who befriended me despite my goofy looking exterior and even goofier personality.
...for you. Thank you for being who you are.
...for my job, which is expanding my horizons, and pays my bills.
...for the amazing people that I've met in my life that have molded who I am.
...for Wendy's Dollar Menu, cause it is tasty and cheap.
...for the fact that it is 60°, when it could be only 30°.
...for the fact that I have an education that provides me with a means to succeed
...for the fact that I am able to afford (sort of) to further that education and learn to do something I truly love.
...for pumpkin pie, because Thanksgiving isn't the same without it.
...for significant others in the lives of those that I love, because you've made her life so much better, and you made the inner her that we all love come back to us.
...for my co-workers, because they make the workday go just a little bit faster.
...for facebook and myspace, believe it or not, because they've made it possible to reunite with old friends, and to meet new ones.
...for Thanksgiving leftovers, because nothing is like turkey and gravy with mashed potatoes over one of Aunt Roxanne's homemade rolls the next day. MMMM. (I seriously look forward to this almost more than the actual dinner itself)
...for Northwest Airlines and Delta Airlines, because they make it possible for me to spend the holidays this year with my family.
...for love, because it really does make the world go 'round.
...for the bad things in my life, because they make it possible to truly appreciate the amazing things and people that I DO have.

What are YOU thankful for?

I am Most Thankful for:

1) God, My Lord and Savior
2) Health, Happiness and Prosperity
3) My son, My Family, My Friends and many other Loved ones
4) I am thankful and blessed that I have a Husband that loves and supports me though any decision I make good or bad. He is the best father, friend and confident that I could ever have asked God to bless me with. He is a wonderful provider and he spoils my son and I both with not only material things but with more love than we could have ever thought possible.
5) I am blessed to have the best parents in the world ...for that I am thankful.
6) I am thankful to God and blessed every single morning that I wake up feeling bad or good that I can still take a breath, and be able to enjoy the day with my husband and son.
7) I am thankful that we have shelter, warm clothing and food every single day. Basic necessities that everyone has not been afforded.
8) I am thankful that my grammy lived long enough to watch me walk down the aisle and marry the man of my dreams 2 years ago yesterday!
9) I am Thankful that I feel for once in my country that my vote counted.
10)Thankful for all the wonderful people that I have met here on Specktra!

There are so many people, things, events and memories that I am thankful for ...I could not begin to list them all.

I'm thankful for my family, for having a job, for loving my husband some much and he loving me back, for Dr. Peppers (although they have ruined me), for my mother recovering from pneumonia, for all my true friends that I have met here, for FiFi peeing in her litterbox now and for always winning at Go-Fish when I play against my husband.

***I'm also thankful for pain pills because they rock although currently I don't have any.***

- the God that answers my prayers, even if it isn't the answer I asked for.
- my children ... they have been the best thing that I could ever have asked for in my life, and I am thankful everyday that the docs that told me I couldn't have kids were wrong
- the man that puts up with me ... even though I can be an expensive cold-hearted bitch at times
- the job that pays the bills, even if it does send me into therapy
- my students ... all 657 of them are special in their own way and I wouldn't change any of them ... most days

- my family ... as big and loud and crazy as it is
- my father, who has been the best father I could have ever asked for and has made sacrifices for my sister's and I that I still do not understand
- my grandmother ... who at 78 watched my children everyday and took us into her home for three years so that I could finish college and give them a better life
- my country, and the people who give their time and lives to protect it, including my best friend
- my makeup ... because without it I would look like a train wreck on a daily basis
- my health ... because I have come to realize that you always take it for granted until you don't have it anymore
- my friends, including those I have met here like Tish ... because without you my main source of conversation would be from two toddlers

Great thread! Really makes you stop and think ... Happy Holidays ladies and gents!
