OK....Thanks giving is just around the corner..... and so I wanted to know...... What are you thankful for? I have SO many things to be thankful....I couldn't list them all. I'm thankful for: My family and how close we are...and of course our health. My son...even though he makes me want to pull my hair out at times and run down the street screaming at the top of my lungs..... I love him dearly. My friends... I have a roof over my head and food to eat... And course Passions and all the great friends I've made here. You all know who you are. I guess I'd better stop or this could go on and on!  So tell me......what are you thankful for? ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |

I'm thankful for the fact that I haven't gone insane with thought just yet. - for my family - for my girlfriend - for my friends - for passions i think that should cover it!

I'm thankful that in this short existance I call my life that I had the chance to meet and love my soul mate (you know who you are)because I realize that there are an unlucky number of people who never get that chance. |

I'm thankful for all the little things I take for granted most of the year then somehow realize around the holidays. I'm thankful that, although my father and all my grandparents are deceased, my memories of them never will be. I'm thankful to be back in California near my children. I'm thankful to have my health back and be working full time for the first time since 1997. I'm thankful for knowing what it is I'm working for - for the first time in my life. I'm thankful for all I lost along the way because it makes me appreciate what I have and all I regain that much much more. I'm thankful mostly for the love God has allowed me to experience this year with Linda. Without it, I probably wouldn't be thankful for much at all...

I am thankful for so much. The fact that I wake up breathing is a plus. I am thankful that all in my family are healthy even though we are spread out all over the country now. I am thankful for the love afforded to me from family and friends. I am thankful for Passions, a place of rest and solitude from the bitter winds of the world. A place to go when happy or sad, joyous or mad. I am thankful for my husband. He is the shining star on a cloudy night. A friend who even if he doesn't understand me at times puts forth his best effort. And I am thankful to The Lord for making me see all things pure and good and right and guiding my steps when I feel like running headlong into an abyss. How can you save me? When the dark comes right in and takes me, from my front walk and into bed, where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree |

I am thankful for my health and my life, since there are so many things I have done in the past to jeapordize both ... I am thankful for my children, who were singlehandedly responsible for turning my life around. Without them, I might not still be around to be thankful for anything. I am thankful for the capacity to hope and to dream. I am thankful for the intelligence and talents I was gifted with -- however great or small -- because with them, I have been able to enrich my life and the lives of others. I am thankful for Passions, because it has afforded me the opportunity to care about people that I otherwise would never have met. ... and last, but never least: I am thankful for Michael, who has taught me that you can never love someone too much. --Linda Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. |

I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful for the friends I've made, both online and offline. I'm thankful for someone very special to me. I'm thankful for the classes I'm taking, where I'm actually learning things. I'm thankful for all the problems I've had because I've learned so much from them. I'm thankful that almost two years ago, I picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the lines that sprang to my head and became my first poem. I'm thankful for Passions and the River forums, where I spend most of my online time. I'm thankful for all of the gifts God has ever given me. Thanks be to God, and God bless you all! Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

I'm thankful for my boyfriend, Abrahm. (Dusk Treader) I'm thankful for my family, that we're all healthy and get along very well. I'm thankful for everyone who's ever helped me through the rough times. I'm thankful for this wonderful passionate place and all the people in it. I'm thankful that I'm warm every night in my house and that I have enough food to eat. And I'm also thankful that my birthday is very close to Thanksgiving so I get turkey, stuffing, birthday cake, and presents! *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."

I am thankful (and please forgive my lack of political correctness) THAT IT IS OVER. That's right. The last dish has been washed. (I hope.) All of the usual boring "blow-out" football games have been tallied. And every tedious conversation has now been ended. AT MY INSISTENCE. Okay. Not nice. But yanno? It's the truth. and with a wicked grin..I state the obvious...I do, know the meaning of gratitude, (serenity, gets up, and does her happy screen dance) NEENER-NEENER-NEENER!!!! They have all gone. The kitchen is clean. bwahahahahaha....... (and my time is MINE, all MINE!!!) Much laughter and gratitude! Happy Thanksgiving...god knows, I am grateful!!! oh. yeah. almost forgot... (gobble. gobble. gobble...burp!) sigh... and *wink* |
