I know that Canada celebrated its Thanksgiving last month, but I don't know when the UK has such a holiday, and I have no idea about the other nationalities represented by members of our site (we are getting quite international, btw), but this Thursday is Thanksgiving Day here in the US. It's a day where we give thanks for the help given to some of the earliest colonists, but also for our friends, family, *coughfavoritefootballteamscough*, and the other wonderful blessings we have been given. I thought that even though not every nation is celebrating it this week, we could take the time to say what we are thankful for here.  I'll start. I'm thankful I'm a Buckeye. I'm thankful for Adam and his love. I'm thankful for my grandparents. I'm thankful for my awesome friends. I'm thankful for this site and all of you.  |

I didn't think it did either, but I googled it to check and they had info about "Harvest Day" which they said is like Thanksgiving so I put that to be sure. I am thankful for summer sausage, crackers and cheese. Yummy. My friend Nathan who is sitting here is thankful for his parents and his grandma, who bought him his video games! (He's nine, so you can see why. lol) |

I am thankful for my professors (strange thing, so close to exams and all!) for being so absolutely wonderful...
...in that same vein, I'm thankful that my two big projects both received extensions!
I am also thankful for chai tea...and consequently thankful to my classmate for having the brilliant idea of giving out packets of tea this morning.

I am thankful for everyone who ever hurt me, and the strength I learned from it. A weird thing to be thankful for, I know, but I couldn't have known so well what was and wasn't okay and what to do about it otherwise.

I am thankful for my family.
I am thankful for my house and a kitchen with food in it.
I am thankful for my kitties, who always know when I'm feeling bad and take it in shifts to make me feel better and who never try to give me advice or make me talk when I don't feel like it.
I am thankful for my friends and family who are there for me to talk to when I need to.
I am thankful for having survived so many things in the past, because I know that if I can make it through those things, I can take a deep breath and get through whatever else life might throw at me.
I am thankful for Dove Dark Chocolate.
I am thankful for Costa Rican coffee.
I am thankful for green trees, flowers, mountains, and fresh air -- and for those occasions when I can enjoy them!
I am thankful for the good folks on this board and the warmth I can feel from them across the many miles that separate us.
I am thankful for making this list, because it reminded me of all I have to be thankful for.
