I'm thankful for my wife, our son, our military and most of all.... that I'm alive and not a turkey!

I am most thankful for my wife, Violet. In no way do I deserve her, and for her to be in my life is truly a miracle.

In the deepest sense I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. In my everyday life I am most thankful for my wife. She is an angel.

I recently heard an Op-Ed piece where the author thought that we cheapend the meaning of Thanksgiving by calling it "Turkey Day". His reasoning was that by calling it Turkey Day we were leaving behind the idea of giving thanks for what we had..no matter what way someone might do it. Had never thought of that before but it made a good deal of sense.

Thanksgiving

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Thankful for the all the great friends --most of these through the computer and via other ways--I have made over the past 20 years or so and all the confidence they seemed to have placed in me.

I am most thankful for being a cancer survivor and for all the wonderful things and friendships that have entered my life because I had cancer. Sounds kinda odd, doesn't it? But its true...

I'm thankful I was born in the U.S. and had great parents. (What would I be without them?). I'm thankful for the few good friendships I have and The Villages lifestyle. I'm thankful for our economic system (capitalism) and my relationship with (get this) the stock market! Ha! :-) And last, but not least, I'm thankful for being able to enjoy great (drug free) health.

I'm with you. Just visited my oncologist yesterday and it looks like I'll be around for a while longer after 18 months of treatment. Nothing is better than knowing that you've got family members and friends who love you. Oh, and my hair came back!
