Love your list Caridad. I’m thankful for my family and friends who have enriched my life. I am thankful for my wonderful grandchildren who have made all things worthwhile. I am thankful for my son getting the kidney from his brother so that we now do not sweat the small stuff and have learned to enjoy each other and each day to the fullest.

Hard to follow a wonderful list like yours but you reminded me of our service men and women – God Bless them and keep them safe in these trying times. And I’ll always be thankful for the wonderful family I have.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Caridad, what a great list I have alot to be thankful for…
1. My hubby who doesn’t always tell me or show me his love yet has put up with me for almost 25 years, childbirth, pms, surgeries and bitching…there must still be something there.
2. My five beautiful, interesting, ever changing, loving and giving kids… You are what wakes me up, keeps me going and makes me smile…I love you guys.
3. My family and friends…they are a wild and crazy bunch. My Mom and Dad both hit 70 this year! I am so thankful for that. My sisters Andrea and Dallas who make me glad I am the middle child. My newphews Eric and Nick. My niece who will be here in April-Ziva Renee, my namesake…I can’t wait to spoil you.
4. My new grandaughter TuesDae’ who I hope the be able to love and spoil more and more each day.
5. Health, not so much wealth…but comfy and happiness
6. Living in a country where I am free…where our men and women fight to give others that same right…where it truly is the home of the brave…My America the Beautiful.
7. I’m Thankful
8. for so
9. much
10. more…..

Hey there!

I am thankful that someone besides me knows that you don’t end a sentence/phrase with a preposition! Thank you, thank you, thank you for titling this, “Things for Which I am Thankful” rather than “Things I am Thankful for”! I would bet that over 90% of the population would use the latter title!

Now that that’s out of the way, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! Talk to you later!!!

Awesome words, Caridad. I agree with your list, and add a special thanks for the brilliant medical minds and hands in this day and age who save lives. I was just holding my wonderful grandson Thomas, who just turned a year old. At this time last year, he was just recuping from life saving open heart surgery to correct two congenital defects, and the fear was so great. Today he is healthy and thriving.

I am so unbelievably grateful for that, and have so much compassion for those who have experienced loss. I’m grateful tat we can share these things with each other, both the good days and the bad days.

Have a great Thanksgiving, and I feel blessed to have you as a friend.

I’m thankful for all those same things my friend. I’ll add one more. I’m thankful that we have a holiday devoted to gratitude. It keeps us humble.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for reminding me what Thanksgiving is all about. I’ve had a very tough year, the worst in my life, so it’s been difficult to really be thankful. So,I guess I’m thankful for my health, my family and all my friends, along with all the people who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. And a very special writers group LSFW. What a wonderful group of writers.
Have a wonderfull Thanksgiving!

Hi Caridad, I agree with your list, country and soldiers, our freedoms and blessings that we take so for granted on a daily basis. I am thankful as well for my husband, his support and willingness to do what needs to be done whether he would prefer to or not. For my children, one of whom I almost lost this year. For my extended family and their acceptance. For my online friends. I am thankful for simply being. Happy Thanksgiving.
