What makes you thankful

[jebartle]

I'm thankful for my dear Doug, earth angels that are so giving, our loving family, living in the Villages, and last but not least, a washer and dryer that only require the push of a button, lol

Our health

[ThirdOfFive]

My wife. Who is also my best friend.

I am happy for life. I try never to take it for granted. Life is to be relished, appreciated and shared.

No divorces, no substance abuse, no estrangements, and no slackers in our three generation family.

I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups, bourbon in a glass, and grass

My neighbors. When my loved one died suddenly, unexpectedly I was in such shock that EMS said I need to be monitored. My neighbors, who I have only seen before to wave to, appeared at my door step; with food, with doggie, with kindness… every day… to get me to want to go on in the first place. They introduced me to their activities and their games and there is always an invitation for something, somewhere. Two years later… still.

1. My beloved wife, who I love, and enjoy living with and spending most of my time with;
2. Our health;
3. Our faith;
4. Our freedoms;
5. Our sense of humor and laughing as much as possible; and
6. The Boston Red Sox....even when they are not as good as they should be.

The Boston Red Sox....even when they are not as good as they should be.

Ya, the Sox and Pats are going through a down stretch, but the C’s and B’s are picking up the slack. I am sensing Banner #18 for the green this year : )

I get a kick out of waking up each day.

That while I was yet a sinner, Christ the Creator of all things took my place on the cross, shed his blood for the remission of all my sins, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. victorious over sin, death, and satanic forces. And by placing my faith in him and his faithfulness, I shall spend eternity in his presence.

My wife is my life. We’re both really thankful for making it through our careers alive, our kids, grandkids and our puppies.

It's like you read my mind.

To me, it's a surprise. I slowly open one eye to make sure it not a trick.

That caused me to do some googling. And *that* caused me to remember how thankful I am that I'm suffering no serious pain these days.

[fsusix]

I love this thread and all the answers - ditto to all!

[bobeaston]

In addition to the many things to be thankful for, I'm thankful for a thread here that is full of positivity!

Your response reminds me that I'm thankful for GOOGLE:read:

Your response reminds me that I'm thankful for GOOGLE:read:

Right up there with the very best inventions ever, in my book. Well, I guess being able to "highlight", "right click", and click on the option to "Search Google for" is right up there, too. . . :-)

[Marmaduke]

I'm honestly thankful everyday for a wonderful husband who has always been an amazing, loving and fun life partner and best friend.
I'm thankful to God for so many things in our lives, including prayers answered for family and friends and I often have a conversation with Him to acknowledge my gratefulness.

Thankfulness is an endorphin, especially when I smile from ear to ear, as I look up into the big, beautiful blue sky, feel the warm sun and think about how thankful I am for our freedom in America. I'm thankful to our Service Members and our Veterans for that. Thank you to all Veterans!

[coconutmama]

I am thankful for:
My eyes to see
My ears to hear
My family that I hold dear

Our good health
Our earned wealth

Living in democracy
Faith in God. Humanity

And for all the helpful posters here

I am thankful for these posts today from people who make the choice to be positive. I am thankful that I am learning to live focusing on gratitude and blessings. To have a Higher Power, God who provides peace in all circumstances. I am grateful to have learned to wait, more shall be revealed in a bigger plan. To unplug from fear mongers. To have my own opinions without crowd mentality. And the practiced ability to live NOW versus regret of past or fear of future.

I’m thankful to be able to wake up in the morning and know that I have another day! I’m thankful for good health! I’m thankful for the years I spent with my wife who I loved very much until cancer took her away from me several years ago. I’m thankful that I am still able to have a drink everyday because when I wake up in the morning that is not the way I want to feel all day!

[Luisa]

I’m thankful for insulin. It is something we take for granted these days. My grandson would not have lived past 5 years old without it. He is 8 years old now and looks like any other kid. You would not know by looking at him that his life depends on it.

[kendi]

Ditto to most of what’s already been mentioned. But also a warm and comfy place to sleep. So many are suffering in this world and don’t even have that.

[La lamy]

I have a 'gratitude' list that I go through before sleep and it has 100 items. So lots and lots to be thankful for. Life, Love and Health are my first 3 items.

Above all things in my life, I am most thankful for my husband. When I had a stroke he was there 24/7 for the entire month I was in the hospital. That was 14 years ago and he still helps me every single day.

[pikeselectric]

We are thankful for being a choice electrical contractor for Villages residents! :MOJE_whot: We have a great, knowledgeable and reliable team, giving you peace of mind that the job is done right the first time.
So much to be thankful for, each and every day!

[chrisinva]

Thankful for...wise people who pose this question. The question teases me into reading the responses and makes my heart swell as my brain says "Ditto" to all that I read.
