Thanksgiving is all about being thankful. Do we only need one day a year to show what we are thankful for? Every day we should be thankful for what we have and NOT what we don't have. If we live each day thankful for what we have, then we will be positive on the outlook of our lives. If we wake up everyday wishing we had this and that, then we will have a negative outlook on life. Love life and be thankful!

The things that I am thankul for that money can NEVER buy:

Jesus Christ
My wonderful mother and father that I love very much.
My gorgeous and beautiful significant other that I love alot and do anything for.
My awesome friends and all my new friends on Activerain.
Living the American dream.
My education (even though I have to pay for it lol but it will always be there.

We need need to be thankful each day just by waking up and seeing the beauty of nature.

Thanks David and Eric!

We need to have an attitude of gratitude everyday. I learned that today by losing a close friend of mine to a car accident this morning.

I absolutely agree with your attitude of gratitude. I have adopted the practice of giving thanks for the blessings I received throughout the day before I go to sleep...and of starting each morning by giving thanks for the blessings I will receive that day. It is a great way to end the day and begin the next. I am sorry to hear about your friend and will pray for comfort for the family.

Thanks Ken and Myrl!

Today really opened my eyes to be thankful everyday and not just one day a year. Life is way to precious and I should cherish everyday like it's my last because I will never know when my last day will be.

Have a great Thanksgiving Ken and Myrl!
