Thanksgiving Thankfulness

Hey everybody! With Thanksgiving right around the corner (for those of us in the good ole USofA), I thought it would be neat to post something that each of us are thankful for in our own lives. This idea stems from a family tradition of mine where we write out and collect "thankful" cards during the month of November, then read the cards aloud on Thanksgiving. It helps to keep things in perspective... especially when times are tough or the year has been not what we expected. So, if you want to... sound off! Keep it positive and clean, please :smile:

I am thankful for living in a country where I have the opportunity to be whoever and whatever I chose to be! I am thankful to have the MFP family to keep me positive and motivated!

Stay focused, be fit!

    I take a lot of things in my life for granted. I'd like to change that.

    I wanna add that I am thankful for my family! Without them, I would not be as successful as I am now! I've acheived some many dreams because of their love, prayers and support!!

    I am thankful that I finally got my butt in gear about losing weight. It's gotten me out of my hermit lifestyle of just going home at night and sitting on the couch. I've lost weight and made some acquaintances outside of work. I'm thankful for all of those that have helped me get to where I am today and will continue to help me along this road.

    A very selfish thankful thing, but a thanks anyway.

    I'm thankful for my family & friends who are still in my life.
    I'm thankful that I finally don't look fat in holiday pictures.
    I'm thankful that I no longer have any weight/ food related problems anymore (cholesterol, trigylcerides, etc).

    I am thankful for my boyfriend. I've had a rough life and I have had few dependable people throughout... but he is so far above what I would have hoped to find in a partner. We've had a happy, fun, laughter-filled, supportive and genuine 2 1/2 years and I expect many more good years to follow. I am SO very thankful that I have somebody to confide in and count on. It's the best feeling in the world to know that even when we're mad at each other he still cares about me. :]

    I'm thankful for my family of course. I have the best family in the world (though sometimes I'd argue that point hehe)
    I'm thankful for my house, my bed, the food I get to eat, everything I own.

    I'm so thankful for this website and all the wonderful friends I'm making who support me on my journey.

    I am so thankful for:
    My life, the air i breath, everything that I have.
    My health,my sanity, everything I went through that made me who I am today. Positivity.
    My tears I cry, that remind me that I am human. All the great things that happen in life.
    My life is in shambles right now and I am spending Thanksgiving alone and yet I am still thankful.
    I smile because I deserve to, and give thanks because I am grateful.
    I am also thankful for myfitnesspal, people on here can change others without even knowing.
    I pray each and every person is able to live their lives thankful.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

    Edit: Don't eat too much. LOL

    I'm thankful that I have a wonderful, supportive husband.

    I'm thankful that after being laid-off for months and having a rough few years in terms of jobs, I finally have a job at a place I love that is stable and what I've been looking for---makes me happy.
