    Most of all I am thankful for my daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law. They are all great people, and I love them dearly.

    Then, I am thankful for my comfortable life -- good job, decent income, more than enough of what I need and much of what I want.

    Freedom! It is priceless, and I have it in spite of being a woman in a world where many women are kept down.

    Last but not least, my sincere gratitude goes to the people on this board who keep me grounded, amused, and hopeful for the future! You're the best!

    Thanks, flipper, for reminding us to remind ourselves of our blessings.

    I am thankful that I am still employed. I don't know how long this will last.

    I am thankful I still have my hearing so I can listen to music. A major staple for my soul.

    I am thankful that my daughter has moved back home. She arrived this past Monday. I haven't seen her more than twice in ten years while she was stationed in Germany and then in Florida with the National Gaurd.

    I am thankful for the JWD and the many, many beautiful people here.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all.
