I am thankful for my children, who have brought more joy to my life than I'd known possible.. without them, I wouldn't be who I am today, and I happen to like me! 
While I have posted this previously, I think it is just as appropriate here and something I wanted to share with everyone, especially since it is the day before Thanksgiving: "I Wish You Enough" . . .
(And maybe you'll want to "Wish" Someone You Know "Enough" Too! )
*** Previous post ***
What am I thankful for?
HUMM Good question ! ! !
And although this is for a contest, I really wanted to take this seriously and answer the question honestly - so here goes . . .
Well, simply put, Im Thankful for My Life . . . ALL of it, the good - the bad - and the ugly, especially the bad and ugly, for without experiencing all the bad and ugly things that happen in My Life - I would have never known and appreciate all the - GOOD ! ! !
More Importantly, I believe that Nothing can make anyone more Thankful for the little things and/or Appreciate all the People around them more then experiencing for themselves what it is to be to have no money, be homeless, and/or hungry - or to lose a Loved One because of a disease, mental problem/disorder, they feel alone and are lonely, dependency on substances, or death . . . and lastly, what it is to even be the one actually suffering from these types of situations that usually happen to everyone, or to someone close to them that they know, sometime throughout their lives.
SO - What am I thankful for, since I have, or I know someone personally has, experienced many of these situations I am Thankful for My Life ! ! ! And even more, Thankful for those people who are in My Life.
Now, while I know I have posted this before somewhere on ECF, given that this would be just as appropriate here and relates to my post, once again here is something that I personally have adopted as kind of a mantra:
'I wish you enough.'
And when, 'I wish you enough, I want you to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain you . . .
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive & everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them; but then an entire life to forget them.
TAKE TIME TO LIVE . . .

Uncle, that was just "deep" enough.
I am thankful that I have a sense of humor. I see many people who don't have one, or maybe lost it somewhere along the way. I am glad that I can appreciate irony, and the subtlety of slapstick. I am glad my wife and children also are inflicted with humor.

I am so thankful that I found this board and my Mom and I were able to quit smoking. It was something I never thought would be possible. I thought I'd die a smoker and that my mom would too.
I'm Thankful that we are all able to come together on this wonderful forum to share our thoughts on being Thankful. Best of all we all seem to support each other...in good times and sad times. Although I am a new member, I see that very clearly.
WISHING YOU ALL A SAFE AND BLESSED THANKSGIVING

SK........this must already be rubbing off on me.
Yesterday I was washing out the slow cooker and thought about how I hate washing the thing. Then I thought about your contest and said "self.............think about SK's contest and instead of thinking how much you hate doing dishes, be thankful you had food to put into the slow cooker"
So there is my next entry. I am thankful for having food to eat.

As I spend most of the day in the kitchen baking breads and pies, I am thankful for the modern conveniences that I can utilitize. Thanksgiving dinner for 20 must have been a killer back 200 years ago!

I'm thankful for my 4 beautiful daughters, who bring light to my life every day. Even when they're getting into/destroying stuff that they're not supposed to be touching!
ETA: I just realized this is my 1000th post!

Day 2: I am thankful for my ex-husband. Though our differences were many, he is still a friend to me. Due to current circumstances, he is the primary caregiver for our 2 children, and he is trying his hardest to make sure that I have access whenever I am able. He's an excellent father.
I am ever so thankful for my dishwasher! Oh how I love not having to wash dishes by hand.
