Subject: What Are You Thankful For?
Message: I was thinking it would be nice to share some Thanksgiving thankfulness stories.
One of the things I am very thankful for, and have taken for granted, are my pioneer ancestors. I have been doing my genealogy and on a census report I came across, one of my ancestors had given birth to 9 children and only 3 were still living. What pain that must be. I am soooo thankful I have never had to endure that, and thankful that even though she did - she never gave up!
I myself am very thankful for my friends and family.
I am thankful I have found all of you, here on the board and over on the Q.
I am thankful that cheryl found her kitty, and that so many of us will have lovely nails for Christmas. ;)

Message: What a wonderful thread ya'll! I am thankful for my mom & dad and my sis (we are a small immediate family, but large extended family). Last year at this time, the doctors told us that my mom would only have 2 months to live, girls, God is so good. My mom is still here and doing FANTASTIC, so I certainly thank my Savior for that.
It has been a tough year for me in other ways, I am just so thankful just to be alive; just to live and see another day, is a blessing that no one should ever take for granted. And I sure am thankful for finding out about NGF and meeting some really terrific ladies.
Ok, I'll stop now, I am in my office still, and I might start crying! :o) We really have so much to be thankful for, especially when we look at all the hurricanes, the floods up north, then these tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes--WOW!
Love and Hugs to all,
-Joy
