Thanks for starting this thread, Roger. It is so easy to bog down in the day-to-day & lost sight of what is important in life. I am thankful for my parents, my children, my friends. I'm thankful for a job to take care of my financial needs. I'm very thankful that I found Mudcat & have had this wonderful opportunity to form international friendships. I'm thankful for the Internet--the vehicle that led me to my life-partner. (BTW, I'm thankful for him, too! I went through a lot of years without contentment in my life.) I'm thankful for the opportunity, day by day, to make a positive difference in the world around me. And I am most thankful to God, the source of all the aforementioned. I know we Mudcatters do not all believe in the same way, but I love you all, I value you, & I pray for you.
