Today I am thankful that I am almost completely done with Christmas shopping!! I actually love shopping and buying for other people, but have a hard time handling ths crowds of people. Is it just me, or are people just getting more rude and inconsiderate with each passing season? People need to smile at a stranger, let someone go ahead of them, hold a door open for someone...just normal, nice things for each other...it sure would make everyone a little more happy!!!!

I am thankful that ecigs saved my life... And my wife's... And two sister-in-laws... And 5-7 people at work. And who knows how many others that checked it out after I told them about vaping.
Today I'm thankful for this contest by SK 
THANK YOU Spacekitty. You are awesome
THANK YOU Spacekitty. You are awesome 
Today I'm thankful that I got a little time with a wonderful device. I'm thankful that I've found friends here, who supported me through the grieving process as I lived out my own twisted wish, and I'm thankful for the good advice they gave me. I'm thankful for angels in OK, with the biggest hearts ever. But most of all I'm thankful for the experience in total, which did lead me to view a tiny suffering as a reflection of the greatest grace - after all, if all you have are small problems, you should be extremely thankful you don't have major ones!! (((BIG hugs to you friends, you know who you are)))
Oh, and I'm thankful for 80's cartoons, too

I'm Thankful Today, because - hopefully, some people that have participated in this contest, will continue to take a moment from their everyday activities - stop everything - and reflect on their day to find something personal (You know, that deep down hidden personal thought and not just the first thing that comes to the forefront in your mind) to actually be Thankful for . . .
In my opinion, it is a wonderful thing to do at lease once a Day, either to Start or End - YOUR DAY ! ! !
AND - even better when you think . . . everything has gone to H*ll in a hand basket and nothing - absolutely NOTHING - is going right or your way . . . There is always something in "Your Life" to be Thankful for ! ! !
NOW, A BIG - Thank You - to Ms. "Kitty" not only for arranging to have this Contest, but allowing and giving everyone the opportunity to participate in a great way to take ownership of "Their" feelings and "Why They Are THANKFUL" . . .

Ok last one, I'm thankful for all the opportunities that have been presented to me so far in my life time, so were great others not so much but they have got me to where I am now and currently I feel like a pretty damn lucky guy!-)
I am really thankful for knowing the difference of being thankful and takeing things for granted. At one piont in my life I was ready to give up on life. Had many trials and tests. But relized then that the little things in life is what a person should be thankful for. With out the little things. Then nothing would be as it is today .
Can't believe I am saying this, but I am thankful for Winter......as much as I hate the COLD COLD COLD, I hate skeeters even more. It's nice to go outside and not get eaten up right now 
I am thankful that I come from this kind of greatness and remind myself to honor it daily. I am using this opportunity to recognize my grandmother today who passed away from stage 4 throat cancer (from smoking 2-3 ppd)3 years ago. Sorry for the length of the post..
The article below was written by a gentleman named Roger. He ran on the squad with my grandmother and he submitted his letter to our local newspaper in WV. It ran in the paper on the day after she died and he also read it at my Mamaw's funeral.
We see Marion County Rescue Squadʼ's ambulances driving at a pretty good speed when their red lights are flashing. Not Wednesday night, though.
Around 3 AM, two MCRS rigs, lights flashing, slowly pulled away from a residence on Coleman Avenue, one behind the other with a hearse in between. They accompanied the body of Alice Polis to R.C. Jones/Ford Funeral Home for her final arrangements. This was not a public display; it was the middle of the night, and there was no one there to see. It was an expression of grief and loving honor to one of the countyʼ's "unsung heroes," and one of the hardest-working founding volunteers of the Rescue Squad.
Alice Polis was there from the start, and was prominent in the "Watson hill" years, when the Squad occupied cramped rental quarters below Bunnyʼs [bar] at the top of the hill. At that time, the ambulances were staffed entirely by volunteers, 24/7. She started as an Emergency Medical Technician, and around 1978, Alice became one of the countyʼ's first paramedics. On her tens of thousands of alarms, when Alice was with patients, she was unflappable. She made decisions, wasted no time, took care of the patient, and took them to the hospital.
A lot of Aliceʼ's work was absolutely invisible to public. Alice was one of the regionʼ's outstanding instructors. She taught many of West Virginiaʼ's EMS people their first EMT class. In fact, she gave the first training to two of the very, very experienced chief officers who now lead the Rescue Squad. Alice served on the Board of Directors of the Rescue Squad, where her business experience helped turn a low-budget volunteer operation into an increasingly efficient and effective healthcare organization. Alice was instrumental in the funding campaign to construct Station 20, the current Third Street station. Alice was one of the visionaries who saw that the nature of the regional economy and the growth of the county required that the Rescue Squad expand its services and hire career EMTʼ's and paramedics.
In the news this week, we have Wall Streeters making tens of millions in salaries and stock options crying for handouts and bailouts. What irony. Alice Polis worked well over 1,000 hours per year FOR FREE.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." That can be done in a sudden, brave gesture or with the constant, faithful, devoted and selfless service gave to her friends and to this county. Wednesday night was just the last of thousands of alarms that she answered.

I am thankful that PIF is here on ECF because it's a constant reminder that there's still goodwill everywhere if we tap into it. I never thought ecigs would lead me to such a positive experience. Thank you all!
I am thankful that spacekitty ran this contest that forced me to meditate for a little while everyday on the things I have to be thankful for. Thank you spacekitty.
I am thankful for friends, both for getting support from them and giving it to them. our friend Julie was there for us when my hubby's mom died in July, and unfortunately we get to return the favor today, her grandma has just died.
I know I've missed a few day in this contest, but I enjoy catching up on it.
Today I'm thankful for having a job that's stressful, thankless, has long hours, and can be emotionally charged and gravely boring all in the same shift. 6 years ago when my wife told me that our police dept was hiring for police/911 dispatchers, all I could think of is "Who would want that kind of stress?" Turns out, apparently I did. It also turned out that I'm good at it. It's not as exciting as being out there on the streets with a light bar on your roof, or as adrenalin inducing as pulling someone from a car wreck. But when someone's 3 year old is missing and you know exactly who to send where to find them; or you're able to track down an address from a disconnected cel phone to get the ambulance there to help....it can be just as rewarding. So if you ever see me post about having a looong day that seems to never end....believe me, I'm still thankful to have the job that I do.
