It is that time of the year again where we reflect on our lives and give thanks where thanks is due...it is Thanksgiving! No matter if you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, we can all give thanks for things in our life. This thread is for that purpose...if you want to...post what you give thanks for!

I will start us out...

I want to give thanks to John, Shawn, and Co. for providing a place where I can practice my passion and for bringing me together with many folks that I consider dear friends.

That my wife still finds me worth of her love, after all these years. That I that one time in my life happened to be in the right place at the right time, to find her. That I can still feel as a teenager, because of her.

She makes my life worth living. All other good stuff, like the Seven Forums, are just an added bonus.

Beautiful words, my friend. :)

I finally found the woman who really cares for me, after going in a lot of wrong directions on that lonely way back home (as Kris says*). I have never been happier, and I wish you and yours the very best this season.

There is never a need to wait to give thanks for friends and family, no matter which side of the pond you're on. Lift a glass to friends - present and especially absent - and enjoy. :)
