For me it is always for Family and friends, but this year I am so Thankful that my oldest son has given so much of his time for helping out others. To me this is a big bonus that I do not need to tell him about spending time at the shelter and at the mission helping, he just wants to be there for himself.
I too am always thankful for Family and Friends! That is in the end what makes the world go around.

Well even though my turkey day has come and gone, I am still thankful that I have had the experiences in life that have made me the person I am today and that I have a wonderful husband who loves me and two beautiful daughters who keep me laughing and keep me striving to be better.
I also love me friends. They are great and sometimes I forget to tell them how much they really mean to me.

Something about Canada and having their Thankful Day in October, makes me thankful for my Canadian Friends.
Family and health!
I'm thankful for my dog, my friends, and my home. My family... some days I wonder!

I'm thankful for the good things happening to my friends.
And I'm thankful for the moments of respite for the friends who are going thru tough times.

Nope, sorry... Canadians aren't allowed to be thankful today.
In a more serious vein -- I'm thankful for my wife and family. I'm thankful that I work with some of the best cops I've met, doing a job that's exciting and still interesting -- and that we keep coming home at the end of the day. And I'm thankful for that every day!
I'm thankful that, as we enter these trying economic times, I'm still employed -- and likely to stay that way.

And I am thankful for the many many coincidences through time that have allowed me to exist. I am here, I am alive right now and I am enjoying as many moments as I can.
And of course, friends, family (when I am not imagining myslef pummeling some of my brothers-they're way huger than I, so it's all fantasy), and my dear dogs.

What am I most thankful for? My wife and children. I have often wondered why God decided to give me such wonderful people, of whom I am absolutely unworthy. A close second is being thankful for existance itself, without which no one would have anything to be thankful for in the first place. Being is always better than non-being.
