Thankful...
Even if one were to set aside the Pilgrim aspect to Thanksgiving,
and the whole story there, Thanksgiving is still a pretty good idea for a
holiday.
People should have times when they look around and are thankful for
what they have. I do that more often that once a year, and I'm sure other people
do, too.
But there should be a day to really think about it, be aware of it. And have a mass
pig-out. :)
I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head, and am warm and comfortable at night
when it's been getting so much colder at night lately. I'm not starving, and I've made new
friends lately. I also live only 2 blocks from the beach, and I'm very thankful for that.
I'm thankful for all of you, and if you want to tell me what you are thankful for in your lives I wouldn't mind. I'm kinda curious, in fact.
Even if I don't have a family of my own, I could see where that would be #1.
But as I said, there is plenty for me to be thankful for, and I realize it!
Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate it!

I give thanks that I have put a major illness behind me. That I make a living doing what I love. That I have a fab son who has made me so proud this year with his music (not only as his Dad, but also as the bands Producer). I also give thanks to all my friends and family that are scattered to and fro around the world.
Thank you, this is a fantastic idea for a post. Happy Holiday
Thanks, Joe! I'm glad I came up with it because I want to learn more about everyone,and this seems like a good way.
For example, I'm glad that you have been able to put illness behind you,
and that you have a son that you are proud of - seems to me a Dad couldn't ask for more, really! You are blessed and you know it- Therefore you are doubly blessed!:)

I'm thankful that I was born in a free and beautiful country.
Thankful that my family educated me in every way.
Thankful that I have all the support from family and friends to fulfil my dreams.
...and of course, thankful to Blogger who introduced me to all you wonderful people. LOL.
You should check out my post from my second day in Amsterdam. First picture is especially there for you!
xoxoxo

Hey cool Marietta,I will for sure
check that out!And I totally agree about being born in a free country.
Thanks for posting, I'm enjoying reading what everyone is thankful for.
That was fun today, btw!:)
xoxoLisa
I feel the way Marietta does - to be born in a free and beautiful country.
I never take freedom for granted.
Of course I am thankful for my sweeties my gorgeous husband and daughter...and that I have a job I love...
I'm glad to see another San Diegan here! Maybe we'll meet someday...I need to meet more cool people.
Hope you have a really nice Thanksgiving.
Lisa,
I'm thankful for having friends old and new and even the four-legged one who is now, still brown, peer pressuring me into a walk through the snow. I'm thankful for my oversized snow boots and for the cobwebs inside each one. I'm thankful for my grandparents resting now where I can visit them and appreciate them there and here and in my heart always. I'm thankful for the Great Lakes, the woods, the sky above with that moon whose piercing beauty often makes the world sometimes appear insigificant. I'm thankful to be writing to you, in the here and now, and for much more.
This is so cool, I'm learning about you guys, what's important to you.:)
Suesjoy, I noticed you have a lot of cool interests! I'll have to check out your blog more thoroughly.
And Ginab,
You are so damned poetic! Gets to me,
it's really all good.:)
xoxoLisa
In no particular order...I'm grateful for having two very good friends locally who I just saw tonight, watching some great Finnish comedy. I'm grateful to have the dear dear friend in London. For the music that affects me so and brings me joy. Grateful to have my little sister (2 years younger) who just came back this morning after a month in China. For my nephews: the elder sent a youghurt to me via my sister so I could eat it for breakfast! He picked the youghurt himself at the grocery store and reminded my sister many times to remember to take with her. My big brother, two years older...List goes on and on, so much to be grateful for!
There really is so much to be thankful for, isn't there? Because even if someone
has just about literally nothing, they still can find something to be thankful about.Health, eyesite,hearing, etc.
Too bad it can't be a world holiday.
I realize that a lot of cultures have some sort of thanksgiving- type of holiday,but it would still be awesome if there was a holiday that the whole world had in common, no matter what the religion.:)
I'm thankful for my children, my husband, the roof over my head. I'm thankful I wasn't born in a country run by a cruel and evil dictator. I'm thankful that I was raised on 60's and 70's Rock N Roll!
I'm thankful that Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are still here to take Rock n Roll kicking and screaming into old age.
Have a great day Lisa, you are a good soul. I'm glad for you communications....
xo
Susie
Hey, I hear ya,KOR!( keep on rockin', I'm sure you know)
You're a good soul, too, Sue.I'm enjoying your visits.:)
xoxoLisa
As regards the music to be grateful for: just received Foy Vance's EP, and my is it recommended! That guy really has blood in his voice - and by this I mean a metaphor for life, the blood running in our veins, not any reference to violence. Listening to Indisciminate Act of Kindness on repeat.
Yes, wish we all had heindsight when going through breakups. I hope you find someone nice very soon. You sound very happy in yourself, and that's the first requirement in finding happiness with someone else. Don't settle for less.
PS: Blogger has word-wrap, so when you type up your entries, no need to put hard-returns on your sentences. When we view them the lines break up.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Aha! Gary, you the man, you've helped me! :)lol
So when I hit the returns, that's what's making the lines break up like that? I've been wondering this for a long time!How to make it stop!LOL
I'll have to try to remember not to do that on my next post. Thanks!
Glad you made it to the chat last night.
Well then lets see? There is my Son who I am so thankful for. My Mom who has always stood beside me. A warm safe home with all the amenities. Good friends, old and new. A good vehicle. All of my music equipment and my computer. Technology in general. My health. My talents which I am greatly thankful for. My Beatle boots. Sounds funny but it took me years to find a place I could buy the original Chelsea (Beatle) boot. Hahaha. I could go on and on. Well, I guess you get the idea.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Peace, love and light to you and yours..
Happy Thanksgiving!
Dale
Thanks Dale!
You're very sweet.:)
xoxoLisa
Ooops, Kid Ric!
Thanks for being here, I appreciate it.I'm thankful for all my bloggin' friends.

xoxoLisa

Whoops! Sorry!

it was lovely to speak to you

Lucy (tammy girl)
Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for the post.
Stuee's dad? Now I can show my ignorance... who is he the spawn of? :)
Don't be intimidated by my math skills, they don't help anything in the real world, and besides, I think I may have just failed a number theory quiz today. Blech.
Best to you on the American holiday!
Jack
Heh, same as I was! I was clueless about it, too. Stuee's initials are S.T.
Who else do we know of has those same
initials? I'm glad I got to like Stuee as a person first.
I just came to give my thanks, but read the other posts first.
Urmm... am I missing something guys? Feel a bit thick!
(this first bit is all tongue in cheek ok? ;-)
Firstly I am not a frog, or any kind of creature born of spawn.
Secondly, my initials are S.R. They stand for Stuart Ross lol
What IS everyone talking about??
Meanwhile, I think you are all such a lovely and supportive community of, well, strangers! And I think this year, that's what I'm most thankful for. Not so much for myself, but on behalf of the many people whom I know have benefited from this new medium of communication and networking.
As Eric Cartman would say, "I love you guys... Screw you guys!"
HUGE HUGS!!!
Love 'n' light, Stuee xxxxx
Heh, I'm confused as well, I guess!
I guess I made assumptions, but it's because I thought you were related to
Simon, for some reason. I'm so confuuuused! lol
I love South Park,heheheh, "screw you guys, I'm goin' home" --->
Cartman is so cute! Evil, horrible, but cute.
Sorry about the confusion, mang!:D
Love and Light,
xoxoLisa
I think it's Pete who's related to Simon! lol
No worries mate, just thought it was funny x
By the way, I'm sure you're a lovely looking lady - why do you have that pic, it looks like you've hit the bottle hard!
Gi's a smiley one Lisa! xxx
I just found one on Susie's Heavenly Blog... I was right :-)
Well, you're so sweet Stuee, thank you!
Actually that drinking photo captured a moment, right after I moved out from my ex. Plus, it kinda reminded me of Hunter S. Thompson. Or Jimmy Page on the Zep Jet drinking Jack Daniels :)
I hate vodka, and that's vodka in the picture. Yuck.I'm not even a drinker,hardly...Maybe I should put the other photo in my profile, or a smiley one, if I can get one. You've got me thinking about it. :)
xoxoLisa
I'm thankful for my wonderful In-Laws who love me as much (more) than their own son.
I'm thankful for a good job making good money and I never get bored.
I'm thankful for a wonderful husband who worships me, and we still like being together even after all this time.
I'm thankful that my two friends who are battling cancer are winning.
and I'm thankful for my dog.
MsAmber
Crazy how these rumors get started... :p
Hey Stuee, in honour of that, I am naming the frog I am doing for Justin after you. Justin will soon have a cartoon pet Stuee the frog. Mwahahaha! :)
Which reminds me... I should get back to that!
Jack
(too many damn emoticons!)
See, Jack? That's what I get for not asking questions, and just going on what I hear! Although it should prove that I really am in the dark about everything.lol I'm trying so hard not to pry, and it gets a little confusing. :)
btW, I want to see this frog when it's done!:)
xoxoLisa
Hey,
Just thought it was important to add this here. And I know I am speaking for all bloggers.
I am so thankful for Rachel Fuller for establishing the communication we have all enjoyed. It really has been a musical and magical experience!
Hey, that's a good one, Sue!
Something we can ALL be thankful for.
xoxoLisa
