I am so thankful to live in the Villages, California and this nation.I can't tell you why because it may be considered "political" to have a positive view of this. Are you also thankful about your living situation?

I'm thankful to be born and raised in the USA. It may not be perfect but it's way ahead of what is in second place.

Do you think people in other countries that are well-developed such as Australia, Sweden, or Singapore share your thankfulness to be living in their countries?

Me? I love being full time in The Villages.

What do you find in common between The Villages and California that you're thankful for?

I'm thankful for TV being full of people that worked hard for a long time to get here and now want to keep it like new.

We feel extremely blessed to spend winters in The Villages and summers in Canada. We wish the US government would allow us to spend more than 182 days each year in TV. But we're grateful to be permitted here at all. I love the USA, especially the patriotic love most Americans have for their country.

wholeheartedly.

My mother always used to say, "life is what you make it".

Thank God for my late uUncle, who helped keep this country free, by helping win WW2. I love living in this country, regardless of it's politics.

Life is good, in the TV neighborhood!!

I think that "patriotic love we have for our country" means not taking our freedom for granted. It can be squandered if we're not careful.

There is a common bond between the Villages and California. It is a love of being outdoors and active. Of being around people who have common interests and enjoy sports such as tennis and golf.
