source: Lawrence OP
I hope this will be our most popular question of the day to-date!
This Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for?
What small blessings?
What big blessings?
What surprise blessings?
What trials and hardships?
I’m starting my list in the comments, and I can’t wait to read yours as well!
I’m thankful for:
:: a sweet baby girl this holiday season.
:: three beautiful little girls that call me momma.
:: an amazing husband who is my best friend and the love of my life.
:: continued health as we’ve made it through the swine flu and another virus without any serious complications.
:: my amazing little sister.
:: my mom, who’s also one of my closest friends.
:: our extended families.
:: a job I love.
:: a blog I love.
:: friends who live in the computer.
:: our upcoming trip to celebrate my grandmother’s 75th birthday.
:: …and join Mickey Mouse for a Christmas celebration!
:: my God who loves me despite my failings.
:: a beautiful home.
I’m afraid I’m forgetting something obvious, but I’ll just come back and add more if I think of them!
What are you thankful for this year?

I am thankful for:
- The gifts my children make for me at school.
- My kitten recovery from an almost deadly illness.
- My brother-in-laws girlfriend coming into our lives.
- Mom moving closer to us.
- my children teaching me a lesson from time to time.
But the one thing I am most grateful for is the financial hardship we dealt with the last year. We had to downsize and begin to live a simple life. This new life has humbled us and made us the happiest we’ve ever been.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Great question, and I have so many answers!
This year, I am particularly thankful for:
- The amazing people in my life, from my hilarious and loving husband, to my wonderfully crazy and fun-loving family (in-laws and blood relatives alike!), to my fabulous friends, to my insightful and often brilliant coworkers.
- Having a job that challenges, rewards, and teaches me on a daily basis.
- Having learned a lot more about myself this year and learning to work with my personality to achieve my goals instead of fighting my personality.

For blogs such as these, from which I learn more and more, healthy children, a roof over my head, our tiny city-state being sheltered and protected. And adopting a Pollyanna attitude- this morning I realised that my landline was disconnected (consequence of forgetting to pay bills on time and not having put aside the cash for it!) as upset as I was, I tried to be thankful that the husband was home; at least his mobile was a way of staying connected outside the flat. Yea, hardships are one way to be thankful for what you already have and even take for granted.
