Weave Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I've got a little bit before I need to get my arse moving today and I'm feeling a little introspective. I've got a loving wife and fantastic son that mean the world to me, and I mean the world to them. And we've all got our health. I have a job that allows me to feed, house, and transport my family and gives us some extra for the future and some simple luxuries. We'll have 4 generations together at the holiday table. I am truly blessed to know my grandparents long enough to develop an actual friendship with them, to know and relate to them as adults, peers, with actual thoughts and concerns that we share in common. I live in a country where I'm not locked into doing what my parents did before me or what my gov't tells me to do. And that if I felt so inclined, I could go into the streets and voice my dissatisfaction without fear that it might cost me my life. Whatever your situation, take some time today to appreciate the things you have, and the things that aren't an every day worry to you. We live in a day and a country where even the poor have a standard of living like we've never had before. There are large portions of the world that think in terms of survival every day while we make pointless arguments about a game on the internet. Happy Thansgiving to the SabreSpace community.

frissonic Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 In a semi-particular order in not a semi-particular order but a little glowing particular order but really not actually a particular order but a particular order: My wife and daughters My family My friends This country, even though it has a lot of inherent faults. Show me a better country with as many freedoms as we have. My grill Macy's parade with my girls Music (and LOTS of it) Dark meat turkey My phone The internet Netflix Egg nog iTunes Match Bacon (what list of gratitude would be complete without it?) My job Two running vehicles that are relatively maintenance-free My daughter's intelligence and thirst for learning My wife's essential oils, even though I used to make fun of them pretty badly cuz they all smell pretty weird, but they're helping me get over this wicked head cold, so I'll take 'em Plates, cups, forks, spoons, knives and other table settings that allow us to eat a little more civilized Hi ... the friggin' Sabres, duh. :) All y'all who entertain me on a somewhat regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdexchange Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks to Scott for this forum that I enjoy so much every day while I eat my lunch, and for all you guys who make it so enjoyable. It may sound dumb, but some days this half-hour is the highlight of my day. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 My Thanksgiving was over a month ago, but ... Today I am thankful for getting home in one piece yesterday, during the first (very early for Halifax) snow storm of the season, with some freezing rain as the icing on top. I was out, somewhat ironically, at the car shop having our winter tires put on the car. I normally have this done around Canadian Thanksgiving (mid-October), but we were in Bosnia doing out charity / aid work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannustyrannus Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'm happy my wife and I both found jobs in WNY and were able to move out of NYC with our son and be with our families this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you guys. I am hoping to do the same. We're starting to look for jobs in WNY as well, hoping to move back home (or somewhat close by) in the near future before our little guy gets in to school full time.
