Americans, care to comment on November 24th this year?

I will be saying thanks for my dad surviving his brush with prostate cancer, I will be saying thanks for all the help we received in getting my son from the depths of his depression, I have so much to be thankful for….it will be a long prayer at the table.

I’m thankful that I am healthy, happy and while concerned about my financial future I am still living a very comfortable life and have faith that things will continue to unfold in ways that allow me to remain true to myself and lifestyle choice.

I am thankful for my daughter and so proud of what a sharp and together young woman she has become.

I am thankful, most of all, for this journey of a thousand miles and the growth and wisdom I have attained, with more to come most assuredly. ;-)

I’m thankful for the people who randomly pass through my life and give me little pick-me-ups right when I need them.

I’m thankful for my family and the blessings we’ve all been given. I have a wonderful husband and two handsome boys. I’m thankful that we are in a situation where I can work full-time and my husband can stay home with the boys while he works on his Master’s degree online.

I’m thankful for my career and that I have the opportunity to help people. I am also thankful that although I won’t be home with my family on Thanksgiving, I will be at work and spending the day with my patients. Many of them don’t have family visit very often, so I’m glad I’ll be there with them and hope I can brighten their day in some way.

I’m thankful for the opportunities in front of me and I’m interested to see where they will lead.

If all goes well this coming Saturday then I will be giving thanks my fiancee and I survived his father’s constant changes to our plans.

I will definitely be giving thanks to my partner for the hard work he’s put into changing his life in order to make our life together a better one and also for treating my family exceedingly well.

I will give thanks to my friends & family for their love, support and shared time in my life.

My husband has to work part of the day. We will still have a snazzy dinner though.

I can hardly wait. I’m looking for some extra chairs since I will have the whole family; 8 adults and 2 toddlers. I brought the family table home from when my Mother In Law moved to assisted living, and I am anxious to take pictures to show her.

I’m getting out all the best China, which I inherited from my Mother, and the silver plated table ware, and the crystal glasses I bought two years ago when Linens and Things went out of business. My son’s Mother In Law is supplying the dessert, a wonderful fruit salad.

Every year, I set an extra plate for my son who lives in Sweden and can’t join us. I miss him. My grandson (his oldest son) suggested we get him on Skype, which we have done a couple of times before. The problem with that is, if we eat around 4 pm or 5 pm here, it’s 1 am or 2 am tomorrow, there.

The 24th is my sisters birthday, she died a couple of years back. I’m thankful I spent time with her before she died.

I am thankful for all the great music and videos Freddy Mercury made.
He died on the 24th of November, 1991.

November 24 has a personal meaning to me that has nothing to do with Thanksgiving and that brings much sadness to me. As for Thanksgiving, I will pray as I do each day giving thanks for my many blessings. We will have a lovely dinner I’m sure. We haven’t really talked about what that might be yet.
