The Giving Thanks Thread
What are you grateful for in your life?? :shrug: Post 'em here. Share the bounty...

I'm thankful it's a beautiful day here today and I'm about ready to go out on a nice long solo bike ride. I'm grateful that even though I've gotten out of shape and am carrying an extra 10-15 lbs over the last few months, I can still pull off a 3 hr ride. :thumbsup:


I'm also thankful George W. Bush can't be re-elected. :D


:hi: Happy Thanksgiving, friends! :grouphug: Abundanza!!! :toast:

1. I'm thankful that I'm still not dead
I can move and talk, and apparently I'm still healthy. Might as well start with the basics.
