What are you most thankful for this Holiday Season?

I just finished reading a great "Juggle" article by John J. Edwards III on the Wall Street Journal Blog titled

"A Season of Gratitude."  

http://blogs.wsj.com/juggle/2009/11/23/a-season-of-gratitude-what-are-you-thankful-for/

The Juggle examines the choices and tradeoffs people make as they juggle work and family.

I know, I know, I know..locally, here in Charleston, SC,  a lot of folks are out of work, others are being "furloughed", the economy still hasn't recovered,...but, my mentors have taught me to look for the "Positive" rather than the "Negative", ( Boeing just came to town, we just landed a Wind Turbine employer, etc. I am blessed with a supportive, healthy, and loving family!)

So, I am curious...

What are you most thankful for this Holiday Season?

Hi Bobby, I just left the MArine Corps after 13 and half years in and this is my first Thanksgiving back home in 13 years. Having family and friends around has been awesome! Great post.

My mother-in-law has ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).  Eight months ago, she was riding horses.  The progression of this disease has been horrible.  Today, she is basically immobilized and we struggle to understand what she is trying to say. 

And I sit here and complain that I don't have time for exercise. 

So what am I most thankful for this year?  For the fact that my biggest quest at the moment is for more time, not for the ability to move my body.  Thanks for this thoughtful post, Bobby.

Karin ~ You are truly belessed! :)

Deb...very few people recognize and are grateful for the little things, as you are. I appreciate you!

Natan: Job well done; welcome home soldier. Thank you for your service.

Tanya - My thoughts and prayers are with your family this holiday season; there is an old proverb about the man complaining about not having better shoes until he met a man with no feet. Tanya, I am thankful for your reminder that life is truly short....and I appreciate you! :)
