As the USA is getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, I thought we'd do a game of Thankfulness.
We are all thankful for home, family, friends. They don't count. List 3 things you are thankful for.

1. I'm thankful for running water. We bought this property as a secondary place for hunting for DH. So when we would come up, we had no electricity and no running water. I'm ok without the electricity, it's a pain, but doable. Running water stinks. I was thrilled when we got it and although I tend to take it for granted on an everyday basis, but every once in awhile it hits me how happy running water makes me.
2. I'm thankful that DH started his own company.
3. I'm thankful for birds at the bird feeders and deer crossing our property.

1. I am thankful I lost 40 lbs this year and it is easier for me on my hikes.
2. I am thankful that I was able to let my DH retire in 2012 - he deserved it so very much.
3. I am thankful for my cat and my dog, their happy faces when I arrive home is such a warm feeling, especially as the weather is getting colder.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I am not American, but can I still be thankful?  I am thankful that my DD's mental health has improved to a state that I never thought possible. I am thankful for my adorable Doodle who wakes me up with a waggy tail every morning. I am thankful for Mr Visa who still lets me put petrol in my car when I am 'financially embarrassed'... |

I am thankful for sunny and cooler weather. It is beautiful today! I am thankful for a loving dh who cheers for me and even shops with me at Michaels and other craft shops.  I am thankful for yummy snacks like popsicles and cake that makes me feel like a kid again. |

--I am thankful for a job that pays me well enough to not worry about having my needs met and some left over, especially to enjoy my scrapbooking obsession!
--I am thankful for my health, which could be a whole lot worse and I need to really appreciate this body that I have and treat it better.
--I am thankful for the opportunity to travel this year and check places off my bucket list, including a week at the beach and New Orleans! Next stop (I hope!) NYC!

Also not American but still have things I can be grateful for.
I am thankful it's Friday.
I am thankful that tomorrow is the big sale at my lss and I got paid today.
I am thankful for all the activity that has been on these boards for the last week. Between the challenges and the games and the daily chat threads I've often had a full page of unread threads and I love seeing the gallery fill with projects.

I am Canadian and we already had our Thanksgiving but I am still thankful of course! I am thankful for having a full daycare and for each child that comes into my home daily. I am thankful for my husband's new business he's just getting started. I am thankful for Jesus.

I am thankful that my DH will be home on Sunday after being away for TEN DAYS! (I need a vacation now, LOL!) I'm thankful that after months of swimming lessons, my DD is finally getting it and is starting to actually SWIM! This is huge for us, she has come so far since last spring when she started. And finally, I'm thankful that I have far too many things to be thankful for to narrow it down to only three! |

1. I am thankful for all means of communication. Even though I am thousands of miles away from family I can still communicate with them.
2. I am thankful that I am able to go on another cruise this year. It's a fun time to spend with dh almost every year.
3. I am thankful that I have lost some weight this year and hoping I can keep it up and keep losing.
