Happy Thanksgiving . . .
I am thankful for hot water that comes out of the tap. I am thankful for electricity that converts both into light at the flip of a switch and fuels the miracle of the modern computer (Windows XP here!) and the attendant ability to communicate with others all around the world. That is to say, I am thankful for the unseen and unsung hordes of humans all engaged in the endeavors that comprise the civilization on planet Earth here this morning.
I am thankful for the past year's traveling career of meeting new people and new vistas, greeting the old ones and sharing this air-cooled Volkswagen phenomenon that still captivates me as it ever did.
I am thankful of my acquaintance with this thing here we call love, and I will thank the Universe to give me more opportunities to tease and test it and shore it up and share it out.

How thoughtful!
I am honestly thankful that even though mom broke her hip in a bicycle accident, she can walk and exercise just fine in a matter of months. =)
Happy Thanksgiving all!

Driving northwards on I -29 in North Dakota a few years ago, I was compelled to pound the dashboard in heartfelt agreement upon seeing in the middle of nowhere, this huge billboard:
A belated Happy Thanksgiving, 'mericans.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving . . .
I hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving. I played kickball for the first time in years and was reminded in many ways why I have not played since elementary school.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I get that. I tried a swing set a few years ago. I used to enjoy flying high enough to relax the chains. This time around, it made me car sick.Sylvester wrote:I hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving.

ANYhow, like the thread said"thankful"
Yes,even belated thankfulness. All sorts of gratitude. Especially those b*itch slaps from the Universe that precede education.
