The Noble Pagan Forums - I Am Thankful

I am thankful for skies of blue
Etched by soft clouds of white
The crispness of the morning dew
Beneath the dawn’s first light
The beauty found upon the shore
Bathed by the ocean’s foam
And seabirds that take flight and soar
Because they’re free to roam.

The stillness of the autumn wind
Across the leaves’ display
The warm-wishes we often send
To brighten someone’s day
The dreams that suddenly appear
Though lost, not long ago
And moments spent with those held dear
As our memories grow.

I am thankful for many things
My life has been quite blessed
Therefore, I hope this season brings
Your lives the very best
Of all the gifts I have declared
Not one could ever be
As treasured as the time we’ve shared
Or the joy you’ve brought to me.

I am thankful for ...

... The annoyances that my children bestow upon me, for it means that they are healthy and happy.

... Not having enough room in the fridge to put an orange, for it means that I have food for my family.

... Having to vacuum the floor, for it means that I still have a roof over my head.

... Being woke up to my wife's knee in my testicles, for it means that I am still married and she is still putting up with my bullshit.

... Having to work on my car, for it means that I still have transportation.

... Arguments with my daughter, for it means that she is becoming an independent young lady.

... The headaches and stresses and worries that pervade my existence, for it means I am still alive.

What are you thankful for?

Though here in Spain we do not celebrate Thanksgiving - it's never a bad time to be grateful, so I'll add my two cents!

I am thankful that my husband was fired from his job last March. Even making ends meet since then has been difficult (to say the least), we have been given the chance to make our Witchcraft business succeed. If he had not been fired, this would have never happened. When I think we've had our meals together everyday since then (something that had not happened in the previous six years), I am more thankful that he's here than worried about the future.

I am thankful for too many things this year - we have had a wonderful wedding; one of my best friends got the job she wanted, and another found love; I regained contact with my biological sister, with whom I had not talked for several years, and now we have a blissful relationship; I have published my first book and I'm working on two more...I sincerely couldn't ask for more!

Wishing everyone at TNP a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!!!!

I'm thankful for my sister, Kris, she's been through a lot with me and I with her and its been a wild ride but i'm thankful for her.

I'm thankful for my family, my mom and my brother are both awesome. Proud of my brother who is in Grad school now. Working toward a Masters in Political Science, and Communications. He's amazing and i'm thankful for him.

I am thankful my wife has the patience to put up with me and the love in her heart to accept me,
I am thankful for the light of joy and hope I feel everytime I see my children,

I am thankful to the little guy at the carwash who pointed out the state of my tires, he either saved my life or my getting a fine.

I am thankful for this little corner of the internet, where I may not be well known but have been made to feel welcome.

This is an old post and was around Thanksgiving. I came across it and I am bumping it up.

I'm thankful for:

Aches and pains. It means I am alive.
Smiles and laughter on a daily basis. It means I'm living.
Tears and heart ache. It means I still care.
My friends and family. They are one and the same.

What are you thankful for?
