For what are ye thankful?

New posts
I am thankful for the many things that make me happy and content and the many things that make me laugh. And what makes me proud. Especially of my husband and children.

And SoWallers, you're all up there in my big list, too! :wub: :wub: You're a great bunch and I love you all! :clap_1:

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. :D
 
Giving Thanks

Here's wishing every one of you a very happy Thanksgiving and safe travels if you are outbound on this holiday. Getting to know each of you on this board, knowing that we all share a love of our South Walton coastal area, has been one of the really fun things for me over the past year. It's my only message board, but I sure spend a lot of entertaining time on it.

Husband and I were riding the ferry into San Francisco today, having a discussion about how fortunate we are to have health, family and good friends, and good humor. As I read through the threads on this board, it appears that all of us have much to give thanks for. Here are just a few.

Thanks for surviving all these horrendous storms relatively intact and being left in a position that we can extend help and assistance to others not so fortunate. Thanks, in advance, for a less eventful year in 2006.

Thanks to the powers that be who do the right thing about our special environment down there. (Well, most of them and most of the time.) I am thankful for County Commissioner Cindy Meadows, who I have not even met yet, for being the voice of reason in a room of angry and frightened people sometimes. Some of them are not even sitting up on the dias with her! :floor: Just kidding, sort of.

Special thanks to Kurt for bringing us all together and for loving the area so. Mother Nature likes it when that happens.

Special thanks to Smilin' Joe for going out there every day and bringing our favorite place right into our homes via the miracle of electronics. And thanks for the perspective, too, SJ.

Thanks for elections every four years, and term limits and thanks for the strength to survive the current state of our globe.

And thanks to God, first and last and in the middle of all things.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone...gobble, gobble! :wub:
 
Re: Giving Thanks

Beautifully put, Donna. It's good to be reminded that Thanksgiving is about a lot more than the turkey on the plate. :clap_1:
 
Re: Giving Thanks

Well said, Donna. You have a gift for words.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
