List 3 Things You Are Thankful For
1. My wife Nini, who is my best friend and my shelter from the storms of life.

2. My health. Even as creeping middle age does its best, I am well, and that is reason enough to be thankful.

3. The roof over our heads.

3. 3 things...
1. Husband Jonathan -- anxiously waiting for him to get home from work. My companion and best friend.
2. Doggie Abraham -- constantly reminds me of the good things in life. Such a ball of energy with a big, lovable personality.
3. Having a roof, plenty to eat, work

5. Friends, family, job
Family a little shaky these days; just don't see many relatives - including, unfortunately, my daughter. (No, it's not like that - she's 33 and a thousand miles away.)

This year most grateful to have a job, and a good one. So many don't.

20. Here you go.
1). My attorney, who is also my best friend, who has also invited me to join him and his family tomorrow for a full-blown, traditional Thanksgiving dinner, prepared by his wife, who is a wonderful woman and an artist in the kitchen.

2). My cat, Seiko...God's beautiful little creature, the mistress of my domain, the warmth of my home, the pain in my...

:-)

3). The strength to have made it (almost) to the end of 2009. This hasn't been the best of years...for me or many of my friends on DU. But one way or another, we manage to find the strength, the grace, to persevere.

1. mr fizzgig. we've been married two months today and i am still so over the moon about marrying such a wonderful and loving man.

2. that i've been able to build the family i have. i couldn't ask for a better mom, dad or sister, but i've been able to build a large family and know that i will never want for love.

3. that my work situation is starting to stabilize. i've been un or underemployed since last march, but i recently got a promotion and things are starting to look up.

great thread, zomby. we share our 'thankfuls' before dinner every year and i think it's a great tradition.
