Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I am thankful that I haven't lost all sanity for putting up with Ron for nearly 16 years!!! :wacko::rofl2: Hahahaha just kidding! I am thankful for Ron, my family and friends, that I woke up this morning, that I have a roof over my head that retains heat, and that I have an oven that works.... I could go on!!!
I've always liked this time of year. The changing season and preparations for Christmas and the New Year. But my favorite has always been Thanksgiving. I find it somewhat mentally relaxing to pause and think about the past year and the many blessings that we have. Not one to look at everything through rose colored glasses, but I do think that too many times we get caught up in all the negativity and other challenges we have in life to pause and think about the good things and good people we cross paths with almost every day. Whether someone we know and love or a stranger we may never see again in our journey of life. This year I can continue to count my blessings for my family and the many good things that have happened this year. I truly hope the Holiday Season brings many good things to everyone here on the Connection! Again Safe travels to all here on the Connection as you visit your families and friends over the next few weeks.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Its been one tough year for me with ups and downs... hill after hill. I'm thankful for having a wonderful wife, a caring/loving family, a great support of friends, and being part of this community.
I'm thankful that my life is not nearly as bad as it could be. My daughter is constantly proving what a little miracle she is and growing up fast in spite of her rough start in life. My husband has managed to find another job that while not exactly what he likes, he's able to handle. We'll actually be able to get through this rough financial patch without having to dip into savings, borrow more money or skip bills. My issues with brain fog, weight-loss and exhaustion are apparently thyroid-related and treatable and the thing in my neck probably isn't cancer. I've got just a year left of school. I've got a roof over my head and food on the table and well, things are alright. Can't ask for a lot more than that.
Is it Thanksgiving? I have an incredible family and wonderful friends. I wish I could of spent it with them but sometimes that's how it goes. Just so no one feels too bad for me this Thanksgiving, I'm going to present you with what was on the menu. A feast to say the least. The private chef and his staff whipped up some incredible stuff. I wish I could have taken a picture. * turkey * ham * prime rib * lobster tails with some sort of sauteed onion sauce on top * crab cakes * lobster bisque * mashed potatoes with gravy * candied yams (marshmallows, butter, brown sugar * stuffing * broccoli * carrots * full salad bar * shrimp coctail * cheese trays * fruit trays * carrot cake with pistachios on top * pumpkin pie * cherry apple pie
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE, was really busy yesterday at two different daughters dinners... man was I FULL! Thankful with all my health issues, i.e. heart surgeries, problems with my right foot, then the Brain surgeon that found some blood vessels had shunk to some what nervous size and then this prostate cancer ~ all in all feeling pretty darn good ~ THANK GOD! Also so thankful for all my family of 5 children, 12 grandchildren my lovely wife who sticks with me through thick & thin! And lastly but by far not the least is for all the GREAT friends I have on THIS forum and other forums to bring this much enjoyment in MY LIFE!!! (Oh... and can't forget ~ Really thankful to have all FOUR of our MAGNUMS!)
