    I'm just thankful to be alive, and to be living on our beautiful planet we know as Earth. Life here is no rehearsal, and you have just one shot at life, so make the most of your time here. Life is short, so each and every morning, be thankful for the new day.!

    I'm thankful for good health and the well-being of those close to me. Even if not always perfect – we're walking, laughing and talking, and hopefully eating well this weekend. And I'm also very grateful for my Nokia n82, proof that a 2007 device with mature firmware is a device worth keeping into 2010.

    Happy thanksgiving!

  • juwlz

    I'm thankful for the neurosurgeons, doctors and nurses who saved my mum's life and nursed her back to (relative) health for 6 months after a severe brain haemorrhage in May. I'm thankful to the therapists in rehab who helped her develop coping mechanisms for dealing with her partial paralysis, and to the carers who now visit 4 times per day to help her. I'm grateful for the (UK) NHS and Social Services, so that we'd never had to worry about how much all this would cost. And most of all I'm grateful to my mum for keeping her sense of humour despite severe disability, and to my dad and my sister, my partner and my employer, and all mum's friends for supporting her and me through the last 6 months and forwards into the future.

    I'm thankful for mobile phones and the internet for helping me to keep everybody concerned up to date with her progress and to co-ordinate visitors.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/cubiq1 cubiq1 (snoobab)
