Happy Thanksgiving to one and all...from our home to yours across the miles or right next door.

We hope your day is spent doing all those extra special things that makes Thanksgiving and true day of Thanks and Giving.

I've much to be thankful for...

Last year at this time my son had just been released from the hospital...it was touch and go for a long time and we didn't know if he'd live and if he did, would he ever walk again. Today he is a healthy young man, back working full time and yes...he can walk. We celebrated Marty being with us last Thanksgiving....I'm so thankful!

Last month my mother and father both 79 years old got into a serious car accident. Their injuries required daily care, their needs at times mighty and their pain often times hard for me to bare. This Thanksgiving we celebrate that they are both still with us and somewhat healthy once again...I'm so thankful!

Many years ago (17) I married my soul mate...I am so thankful that I found him and that I agreed to marry him. I love him dearly!

This past year during difficult times Active Rain has been a retreat for me, a place to go and forget my thoughts and troubles.

A place to laugh, a place to share and grow.

I feel like I know so many of you and somehow during that time frame I arrived at 100,000 points...and I am so Thankful.

Thank you Active Rain and Happy Thanksgiving to you all but most importantly Thank You for being a part of my life!
