Are you actually thankful on Thanksgiving?

Asked by Ultramarine_Ocean (623points) November 21st, 2010

Are you actually thankful on Thanksgiving? Do you know anyone that could care less? I am very happy and thankful for everything positive in my life. Being able to at least live with my family is something some people can only dream about. I may not love school but I know how fortunate I am to go. So are you grateful?

I’m thankful for the life I’ve lived and the people around me who share it. I don’t know anyone yet who is so unhappy they are unthankful. Our family usually gathers with a few friends to catch up and celebrate each other rather than any historical American event.

Yes, I take the time to mark the blessings in my life and to say thanks for them on Thanksgiving.

I have only celebrated one Thanksgiving, but during that one (and during this coming one) I make it a point to surround myself with my closest friends and soak in their awesomeness. So yes, I am thankful at Thanksgiving.

I am grateful that I get the chances I get to have another day to let the people I love know just how much they are loved and how much they really mean to me! :))

I am grateful that I’m young enough that I’m not in charge of cooking any part of the Thanksgiving meal.

I am. I am thankful each day.

I’m very thankful. I’ve been around the world enough to see what it is like on most of this planet, and I know how good I have it in the U.S.

Sure, then and every other day – but I’m not thankful for Thanksgiving.

I’m thankful for the roof over my head and the food in my stomach. I’m thankful for the times when I get to talk to my Dad over the phone. I’m thankful that I have my brother by my side. I’m also thankful for my 3 loving pets although one is a vicious monster. I’m thankful for all the small things in life like the feeling of grass between my toes and the smell of lilacs in the spring. I’m just thankful for life in general, that everyday I wake up and have the freedom to live.
