Being thankful

[kickinthemebs]

Right now I am thankful for vodka! Oh and I suppose my family and girlfriend...

I'm thankful to have such a wonderful family, and that we get to spend this holiday together.

I'm thankful for the people in my life that make it that much happier.

I'm thankful for a warm home, food in the kitchen, and the clothes on my back.

And yes, I'm thankful for this place, and all of you in it.

There's always so much when we take a moment to notice...

I'm also thankful for fishing.

I'm also thankful for fishing.

...yeah you are, my fine fisherman friend. Even those fish you "catch and release" are thankful.

Good point TPW.

Hey Jay, it's like fish recycling. When you put them back, you can catch them again!

If I may, I would like to share this lovely poem as a reminder to each of us...

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn any negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Lolz, not only that, I bet they're thankful that I take their picture like they're some kind of celebrity say cheese!!! I'm so going fishing this weekend!

Me too, Jay. And I'm thankful for all those catch and release fly fishermen and women...and for the trout...and those beautiful trout streams...
