    I am thankful for friends who invite and allow us to share this family holiday with their family. Our children are all far away, so we have no family here, and this family has included us in their celebrations for Thanksgiving and Christmas for three years. So, for Dixie and Leonard and their children—a huge THANK YOU. I am also thankful for relatively good health for myself and for my husband and my mother, sister, children, grandchildren, and great-grands. May everyone have a blessed holiday.

  2. Whitney (whitneyab) , says:

    I am thankful that my husband, who has been trying to return from Central America for the past 3 days, will be here in time for Thanksgiving.

  3. Susan P. (sneyers11) , says:

    I am thankful for my whole huge crazy family, having a roof over my head, food to eat and health care when so many go without, all my friends, old and new(especially my book friends!), my dogs and most especially my loving and wonderful husband. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

  4. lildrafire says:

    I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends, who are always my cheerleaders, helping me navigate through the most difficult times in life. I am thankful for my beautiful grandchildren, who give me more joy in life than I could have ever imagined and make life worthwhile. I am so proud of my own children, who, despite my parenting, have become strong, independent, compassionate adults. I take nothing for granted, not my warm bed, modest home or nutritious food.

  5. Mary S. says:

    i am thankful for paperbackswap and the ability to give my credits for books for schools in need…
    also for living in the united states, having a roof over our heads, food on the table, bills that are paid and my family and friends and our business patrons who make it possible…
    and for the gift of dolphins and whales and beautiful scenery where we live in cape may, nj…

    I am also thankful I have a room over my head and an aunt who cares enough to put it there for me when I had no place to go after leaving my x.

Im thankful for the beauty of the earth and for hope.

  9. Jessica M. (Illusen) says:
