I feel we live in an age where we aren't as thankful as we should be. so its always nice to remember the little things as well as the big... anything you are thankful for this year and the next and the next. and let us all remember how fortunate we are and how easy it is to take things for granted.

i'll start...

Im thankful for:
1. my loving family who supports me in every way
2. the most amazing man that i probably couldn't even dream up thats how good he is
3. Pearl jam! (shocking i know)
4. Chuck Palahniuk
5. Organ Donors (oh man am i ever)
6. kit kats
7. my friends (here and otherwise)
8. every song thats ever made me feel something deep down
9. pink lady apples
10. my amazing apartment
11. my hopefully big bonus this year (i hope i didnt jinx that)
12. love. i just had to say it again...


those are my random flotsem and jetsem for now... so lets all remember why we are lucky...

    I'm thankful that my mom survived her heart attack in August and that I am blessed that my parents are still with me and are still in remarkably good health.

    sure, if i wanted to be nitpicky, i could find minor faults with this year, but mostly within myself. beyond that, this has been one kick-ass year for me :)....unbelievably happy, and i hope just the start of a major upswing in life. i am soooooooooo thankful so much has turned around, after a lot of hard work....but a true labor of love. ;) so yes, i am happy for every damn insignificant little smile to every great big joy.....and everything in between. i know i have always been blessed, most of us are....but i have felt TRULY blessed and loved this year.

    here's to appreciating it....being thankful....and hell yes, MORE! :D

    Let's just breathe...

    Oh wow...that is something to be thankful for. I hope she is feeling much better.

    AllIAm...you are such a good person. I am happy you have so much to be thankful for.
    I am an organ donor...I hope someone is thankful for that someday. :)

    I am thankful for my friends and family.

    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    i am mostly thankful PJ toured Europe again so soon... and not the US ;)


    i am also thankful for my lungs working
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I thank God for my blessings each and every day, not just on Thanksgiving day. But gosh darnit I love Thanksgiving :) It's my favorite holiday!!

    Let's see,
    I am thankful that I am healthy
    for my friends and family
    my relationship with God
    that I'm home and I live in NY
    That I have a job!
    and that I have enough food to eat and a roof over my head. It's chilly out there!

    and all the cool people I've met here and getting to conversate about the Yankees, through this crazy season and into the next one!

    Isn't everyone here an organ donor? :confused: If you're not why not? It costs nothing and you'll know nothing about it.

    I'm thankful for everything this year... just life itself and all the endless possibilities that are open to each of us :)
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you
