Thanks!

[ABSTRUSE]

So with us celebrating Thanksgiving in a few days here in the states, I was wondering...

What are you thankful for?

 

[rgraham666]

For still being around to bitch about it.

For my friends on the AH.

Lol.

Thanks for being you, Rob.

I'm thankful for many things this year, and for the first time in a long time, my 'good' list is longer than the 'bad.'

I'm thankful I found Lit, and more importantly, for the friends I've made as a result.

I'm thankful for the fans who read my work, and my peers as well.

But I'm really thankful for her.

 

[Trombonus]

I'm thankful for...

My friends
My family...sometimes
Finding something I can do well and can make a living doing
Being able to play
For not growing up too much and still being able to appreciate and embrace the child in me
Video games
TV
DVDs
Music

and most of all, TRANSFORMERS!

I'm thankful for friendships, for laughter, for tears, for hope, for second chances and life.

For my family, for food when I'm hungry, for my returned health and for him.

Thankful for so many things...

I just wish fewer of them have a "but" attached!

 

[cloudy]

I'm thankful for my friends every single day. I wouldn't know what to do without them.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

I am thankful that 14 years ago an opportunity presented itself - and I had the guts to embrace it - that indirectly led to me having a productive and satisfying career doing work that I love and turn out to be very good at, plus getting a not-bad salary. It was a leap in the dark at the time, and but for making that leap I would now be a lost soul with no real accomplishments to show for my years on this planet, scraping by on a marginal income, doing unsatisfying work that I don't enjoy.

Thanks, S, for being the person you were. (And thanks, me, for going for it.)

I'm also thankful for you, Absy-baby, and for my other friends on Lit.

 

[BlackShanglan]

The SO, train stations, and my sporadic fits of good judgement.

 

[English Lady]

I'm thankful for so much! A roof over my head, enough food to feed us, enough money to pay the bills, a beautiful world around us, the love of my family, my husband, my gorgeous daughter, my friends, the generosity of strangers, this place, my ability to cook (and make things edible -mostly ), my Nanna's strong constitution, my writing talent, my publishers, my fans (what a boost just to type that *L*), the bus route on my doorstep, the eagerness of youth, the little surprise joys I find each day, the simple pleasures, the glorious seasons, the wisdom of a close friend, hugs and kisses, sex, foreplay, erotica, the internet, understanding, camaraderie, electricity and gas, running water, sturdy matress, warm blankets, medical staff, police, firemen, lifeguards and boats, shop assistants, bus drivers, street cleaners, thoe behind the scenes, those in power (I would't want it) those who strive for the good of all, cuddly toys, Manchester United, football on TV, health, teaching, well fitting bra's and the top of the list? I'm thankful for my faith and my Saviour who died for me.

I am thankful, so very thankful and I strive alwaysto remember just how much I've got to be thankful for.

 

[MrsDeathlynx]

I am thankful for a lot of things in my life, sometimes I may not feel as such because I get frustrated but I'm thankful for everything I have so I'll just say the top few.

I am thankful that I have the best husband in the world, a man that spoils me to no end no matter what I do or how rough things get. I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for him and how understanding he is, he puts up with a lot from me and I couldn't be more thankful.

I am thankful to finally have the chance to be a parent, something hubby and I had been working at for a year and a half before it actually happened. I'm thankful for the smile that having the opportunity for such has put on his face, but for the most of it I am thankful for the life growing inside of me.

I am thankful for my bestest friend Lorthazar, the man whom my hubby calls my second husband. He's been the best friend I have ever had and dealt with a lot when it comes to me, he forgives me no matter what happens.

There is much more that I am thankful for, but those are on the top, without DL and Lorthazar I wouldn't have made it nearly as far as I have. My love goes out for both of them.

 

[Missdemeanour]

I'm thankful I'm not american coz I hate turkey!!

But really I am thankful for so many things I think I would bore the pants off you all, (which in some cases might be a bonus )

[Chantilyvamp]

This is only the second thanksgiving in my life that I am having trouble being thankful. There are constants though that I will always be thankful for.

I'm thankful for my baby girl who keeps me sane when I don't think I can be. I'm thankful for my friends who keep picking me up when I'm down. I'm thankful for the hubby who to make me feel better left a chocolate on my pillow for me to find. Thankful for the friends I have made on here.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

Does seeing the mighty equine back on the AH count?

If not, then I'm still thinking (more or less).

[scheherazade_79]

The usual family / friends / food / water / weed / roof over head etc. etc.

But also:

* The internet, because without it I'd probably still be dating men and wondering why they didn't turn me on.
* Friends who pick me up when I fall.
* The person who invented the longboard.
* Hot women, because they're the perfect distraction when everything else is going to shit.
* The fact that I don't live in a city and can actually see all the stars at night.
* Music
* The existence of Amsterdam

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I'm thankful for that glimmer of hope peeking back into my life again.

I'll add "Rumple's gift for flattery" to my list.

Good to see you too, Rumple. I hope that your life has been so replete with blessings that your hesitation comes from the difficulty of expressing them all. If not, then I hope they're like busses - none for ages, and then they all come along at once (and preferably today).

 

[MagicaPractica]

I'm thankful for...

...a couple of wonderful brothers who go out of their way to help me.
...a better relationship with my sister than I think I've ever had.
...two parents that I know love me.
...all the wonderful people I've met through Lit. and the friends I've made here.
...the wonderful old friends I've recently had the opportunity to reconnect with.
...all the people who have supported my writing over the years to bring me to this place.
...the opportunities for my writing that have presented themselves to me, if I can just make the most of them.
...the opportunities I've had to help others. It makes my life worthwhile.
...two beautiful new kittens that make me smile every day with their antics.
...the joy of searching for just the right present for my friends and family.
...a car that runs reliably.
...a warm bed at night.
...a truly beautiful place to live.
...my health.
...wonderful books to read, music to listen to, and movies and tv programs to watch that all stimulate my thinking.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more.

 

[trysail]

I'm thankful for my parents and the sacrifices they made to provide me a non pareil education. I'm thankful for the improbable luck I had in somehow finding the small investment management firm that permitted me the freedom to "follow my nose" without fear and provided a mentor whose wisdom, experience, intelligence, honesty and competence proved to be precisely the finishing touch that was needed- all within an atmosphere of honesty and intellectual integrity. In hindsight and with the benefit of experience, I now realize that it was nothing short of a miracle that I lasted as long as I did in an industry where deceit, corruption, incompetence, and intellectual dishonesty is a prerequisite and has become the norm.

I was never asked or ordered to do or say anything that violated my principles; I would have been thrown out within roughly forty-eight hours at Goldman, Sachs or Merrill, Lynch or Fidelity or T. Rowe Price or Morgan, Stanley, et al.

I give thanks for the lives and careers of Warren Edward Buffett and John "Jack" C. Bogle, both of whom are honest, extraordinarily intelligent and rich enough to tell the truth without fear of consequence. They have generously shared their wisdom and knowledge with the public, at no cost- freely accessible to all with but slight effort required.


"The teachings of Ben Graham made a great many people rich
and- more importantly- they never made anyone poor."
-Warren Edward Buffett

 

[carsonshepherd]

I'm truly thankful, as it says in my sig, for every wrong move that made it right. For every path I took that I followed and ended up here, on the other side. How can anything be a mistake, if I came through it alive and stronger? My path may not have crossed with the ones I love if I hadn't taken it. I walk in gratitude every day.

I'm thankful to be here, now.
