I am must thankful for my family, I could not ask for a better companion and helpmeet and our children are just such a blessing to us. After my car accident I was told I would not be able to have children but The Lord blessed us with two.

I am thankful or my faith that has strengthened me all through my life when I needed it and I am thankful for friends that have come and go but hat have been placed in my life when I needed then or viceversa.

Finally I too am grateful for PEGym, without the community here, we would have never discover how to naturally fix issues that were affecting our love life and in turn become closer that we already were.

I am thankful for our men and women in the Armed Forces and their families which so selfishly give of their all, so that we can be protected and can continue to enjoy the freedoms we sometimes take for granted, my debt to them is one I could never repay.

Like others have said, there is just so much to be thankful each and everyday that my thankfulness could not be held in this post but this are just a few of the things I am thankful for.

Beautiful!

A heart without thankfulness is like a night without the stars; cold and barren!

I didn't mean any disrespect. Just saying that no matter what gender a child is born. Parents love them no matter what.

I'm thankful that I was born in North America and not some where ravaged by civil war or where my rights as a human being would be nonexistent or unstable. I'm grateful me and my family are safe, warm, fed, and together. Thank you.

Maybe here in North America. But I know a handful of mothers who were not happy to have daughters. They were all friends with my mother and when they came to our house they would start ranting about how they wish they had a son instead of a daughter, that's not love..

I'm thankful that I was brought to North America at age 13, and was able to adapt to a more modern and liberal culture.
I'm thankful that I did not have to live in pretty bad living conditions for very long because my parents were very hard working and they came from very poor and rural backgrounds.
I'm thankful that I get electricity, running and CLEAN water, and heating system and more food than I need.
I'm thankful for having more clothes than I need (I had EXACTLY 3 pants, 3 T shirts, and 2 shirts for years lol yeah embarrassing)
I'm thankful that I was in a school where a lot of kids hated me and beat me up at times, this made me tough and grow balls.
I'm thankful I was lucky enough to make it through and survive with a few minor scratches.
I'm thankful for countless things people I personally know weren't lucky enough to have.
I'm thankful that this thread exists so I could reflect on my life and be thankful for many things others were too unfortunate to have.
I'm thankful that this year I got hit hard with serious things one after another, this allowed me to finally change, this taught me things I never wanted to learn..

Finally, I'm thankful to be alive, everyday above ground is a good day.

This is such a good thread!

I heard a quote on a Winnie the Pooh show that I never forgot ... "Happiness is wanting what you have".

I am pleased to read all these wonderful posts. All these members are thankful for what they have. Basically that means they are happy in their life. Nice.
