Thankful

Thankful we had rain the past two nights.
Thankful I have shelter.
Thankful I have meaningful work.
Thankful I'm safe.
Thankful I love my home, family, friends and my photogenic town.

And that's just for starters.

Some of you may remember our friend Abraham Lincoln of Brookville Daily Photo in Ohio. Abe has to spend Thanksgiving in the hospital with a collapsed lung. If you've got a minute, you might click on over there and wish him well.

(Hmm. Thankful for good health, too.)

Wishing you many, many things to be thankful for.

I agree with everything you said, and I'm thankful for all the new friends I've made this year on the blogosphere, especially all the ones I've met in person. My life is much richer today and that's a wonderful thing! Enjoy the holiday! (And thanks for the alert about Abraham Lincoln. I'll stop by.)

  12. I can start with thanking you for the comment!

    Personally I am thankful for being alive - I have lived four years more than I should have, so far.

    I hope your celebration goes well - we don't have that, so I'll stay with my Pepsi Max.
