Thanksgivings just around the corner...

So what are you thankful for?

Could be anything - people, things, general, life...whatever you want.
Make a list and post it up!
Feel free to explain or not 

Mine:

A couple months ago I did a 50 thing list of what I was grateful for and here are some.

My Mom - she's my savor and my very best friend
My Sister - the time we had with her (even though short) won't be forgotten and neither will she.
My Dad - He's a great dad and I love him. He's come out a warrior after all he's been through.
My Friends - they've been there for me through everything and are my family
Satan (Cat) - He came home and I'm so happy and grateful.
Being Alive - Don't have much to say about that!
Déjà vu - I love the feeling of it!
Receiving kindness when I expect the opposite - Brilliant
Great Food - I'm a foodie and love to bake...LOVE it.
Honesty - Its rare to find someone who is completely honest...even when you don't want to hear it.
Respectful Debating - It can be fun and educational
Warm Baths - Nothing better after a rough day
Photography - It's my saving grace
Animals & Babies - Pure of heart and soul...make me happy instantly.
Chocolate - Ladies it may be feeble but you know it's lovely!
My Happy Pills - I feel better than I have in a long time.

And something completely useless and materialistic but I can't live without...
Electronics of all kinds!! Ipods, cell phones, computers...etc.

*Bump*

What no one has anything!? 

Don't want this to get anyone riled up or change this category to political, but...

I am so grateful that Obama won the election. Even though I know things are still tough and will be for some time to come, I feel hopeful for the first time in a long while.

I am so thankful for my family...DH, who though not prefect is my rock...my kids, too many to say why with each one...my in-laws, who are always there when I need them.

I am thankful for my network...the Tony's, our butchers (father and son)...the Patel's, who run the corner store...BJ, Elaine and their kids, our neighbours...Kay who isn't just a neighbour but my beauty salon too...and Julie & Soul who is almost the exact same age as Emily and our first friend here in the UK.

I am happy to be doing something I love...even if I haven't broken even with the new business yet.

I am thankful that things aren't any worse than they are at present.  I found a list I'd done 10 years ago of things that were blessings and things that weren't so much.  Some of those bad things have resolved themselves but now there are new -- much worse -- things to contend with.  So I'm feeling like maybe one should be grateful for whatever is -- because no one knows what's around the corner.
