For what are ye thankful?

[DD]

Okay, I am thankful for my pups, friends, family, roof over my head, food on the table (or in cupboard), future friends, a beautiful environment, life, limbs, health (even though I am still sick, I am well), knowledge and ability to learn, who I was, who I am, and whom I will be.

Well said, SJ. Great thread.

My family,of course, and the joy they bring. The opportunity to be able to work in a job I love each day. My dogs and those people who challenge me to be a better person. Being able to enjoy the simple beauty of each day and last, but not least, those folks who post wonderful pictures for me to enjoy of an area I do not get to often enough.

I am thankful for the "basics"- my patient husband, 2 kids that haven't put me in the nuthouse (yet), wonderful friends and neighbors, our health (and health insurance!), my animals, my job, our future, vacations, and sunrises and sunsets.

Getting to "know" y'all has been fun. This is where I come when I need a laugh , want to daydream, find some info, or just relieve some stress and goof around. I can't wait to come to the beach next summer after learning more about the area and hearing Donna and Steelemama's stories. I have a mental list of the businesses that I will frequent. I have a new appreciation for "our" beach and everyone who works so hard to protect it- and I am thankful for those people.

I am also thankful that Sueshore is always up first scouting out the day and the board! Reading her posts are a great way to start the day!

Re: Giving Thanks

Thanks Donna, your words ring so true. I used to be amazed that I was on a message board...but when I found this group of people that loved the area as much as I do, it was a no brainer! I am thankful that I found y'all and that I have been able to actually meet two wonderful ladies that I call my friends now! I always wondered if you could really make GOOD new friends at this age....I am here to tell you....YES, indeedy! Here's to this board and to the new friends I will meet in person in the future!

One more- I am very thankful for the recipes- just printed out a bunch. Maybe y'all will be the cure for my cooking burnout!

Morning jdarg....I really want to hug that dog of yours!!!! I am so happy when you show up in the am!!! I wrote a bit about being thankful on Donna's thread...Giving Thanks. One thing I am most thankful for after my wonderfully wacky family is the ability to laugh at and with myself! A sense of humor has saved my sanity (?) many times! Thank you to all of you that make me laugh!!!

You are right about the laughter- during our worst times, the laughter has pulled us through. My dad had the most incredible sense of humor- and when I want to cheer up, I think of him and chuckle.

That dog of mine gets so many hugs and kisses it's ridiculous. He has Great Dane in him somewhere- he leans against my leg when I am on the computer. The shelter called me yesterday- they are giving us first dibs on a female version of him that supposedly has the same disposition. On one hand I'm thinking that a buddy would help his separation anxiety issues, but do I really want 2 dogs right now? Would I end up with TWO dogs that worry if I leave the house? Guess I should be thankful that I am so adored! :funn:

You don't really have freedom when the gov't steps all over the Constitution, as they do today.

that's why I'm so thankful for what we have left - we can still travel without permission and assemble in groups and own property and bear arms


(and bare arms at the beach!)
