Happy Thanksgiving to All

Even to those who do not reside in the USA where this is a national holiday. :)

Tell us what you are thankful for. I'll start.

I'm thankful for my smart and devoted wife and our beautiful farm.

I am thankful for work to do, and the ability to do it.

I am thankful for dreams and hopes and plans, and the ability to cling to them and work toward them in the face of despair and pain.

I am thankful that there is purpose for this life -- to grow, and give and love -- and that when life here ends, there is more life to go to.

I am thankful to someone with whom to share my true self.

Thanksgiving Blessings to all -
Lumpy

I'm thankful to be alive right now, right here,
for the family and friends I have now and the memories of those gone.
This really is the best of times.
Cheers all

Honestly, most of the things I'm thankful for are pretty profane. But I'm glad to be healthy.

Thankful for the people I love, our humble home, the country I was born into, the work I do. Also, life wouldn't be the same without music, dogs, beautiful landscapes, sunshine, knowing how to cook and bake, and being able to keep learning. And, one of the greatest gifts - good health.
