O/T Thanksgiving

In the midst of what I think are most shameful moments in our beloved country, I can for the moment still be thankful.

I'm working - It's a crappy, abusive, low paying job and I'm very thankful to have it.

I just celebrated our 37th year of marriage with my best friend.

I have succesfull offspring....

I have a beautiful grandaughter

I have a roof over my head

I have my freinds which includes FTE.

I have the Lord God Almighty and I am not ashamed.

Happy Thanksgiving !

I watched a PBS documentary on the Dust Bowl days last night. If we got through that, on top of a really bad Depression, this bump in the road won't be any problem. Here's to brighter days ahead!

Seeing the other thread I remembered this one. I'm most thankful for my health, friends, and family! I've been reminded of that more so this year than others. Stuff I've been scraping to keep, I am thankful for that as well, but these are material things. This year's hard times with less work and more bills, has also reminded me of all that has gotten me to where I am, and not so much where I anticipated to go..... a step back to survey my priorities has been a blessing, and for that I am truly thankful.
