Thanksgiving

[Hinata]

It's a time of thanks and graditute at the moment here in the states. . .and since my thoughts have been turned to the holiday of giving thanks, I wanted to say what I was thankful for. . .mainly, I'm thankful for good friends and a strong, supporting family. Without them I don't know if I could get as far as I have.

I'm also thankful for a religion that is just so awesome. . .I know that a lot of different sects of Christians come here and just about no one believes exactly how I believe, but I'm still thankful for it. It's an awesome thing to have in my life and a great compass for me every single day.

I'm also grateful for an opportunity that most other people don't get, and that's a chance at a higher education. Think about it, a large percentage of the world never get to go to college. My parents never went to college and I'm very grateful for the oppotunity to expand my horizons and see new and different things.

I'm grateful for everything in my life. . .but in the spirit of sharing, I'll let you all have the spotlight for a bit.

I'm thankful for a great many things. My wife and family are both wonderful and always supportive. Health and happiness are really not appreciated as much as they should be. I have a great job, friends who really stand by you, and a home that allows me to relax even when I'm doing home improvement projects. I have found new and exciting friends online both here and on other forums that allow me to grow and enjoy life. Whatever religion you follow, even if you choose not to follow one, gives you different insight into life and how to live it. I appreciate the ability we have to share our thoughts and feelings on a wide range of issues. Not everyone is as fortunate as we who have this chance.

This list goes on and on.

Happy Thanksgiving, Turkey Day, Fall Celebration, or however you choose to title it.

I'm so thankful for the wonderful husband and children I've been blessed with! I never cease to be amazed at this blessing. I'm also thankful for the rest of my family and the friends I have made over the years and within recent months. I'm also thankful for the awesome church that we attend that makes the Bible real for right now instead of a book that we should read. I hope that everyone is blessed this holiday season (not gonna even try to be politically correct) and remember that all of us have something, usually a host of things to be thankful for!
