What a lovely list, and I love how you included everyone's thoughts with yours.
I should add to my list the friendships I've made through blogging. It's such a joy to visit here.
Happy Thanksgiving, Relyn! I really like your idea of inviting loved ones to participate on your blog. It's a wonderful modern tradition.
Today, I am thankful for this morning's snowfall, for my husband, J, who makes me laugh every day, for surprise letters and gifts that arrived in the mail this past week (thank you!), for music that has me dreaming of paintings and photographs, for the chocolate brownies that my sweetiepie brought home from the store today - yum!
so thankful for you and the things you share with us both in word and image ...
Relyn,
Many Many Many blessings to you and yours is my wish for you today.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Angie

What a great idea, to ask people at your table and in your family to say things they're thankful for.
You're a super person, and I'm happy I came across your blog this past year and met you.
I am so thankful everyday for the love and grace from my heavenly Father. What an amazing thing, everyday is Thanksgiving! I just returned from having Thanksgiving with my wonderful son and daughter=in-law. What a blessing! They invited me to their first Thanksgiving together as husband and wife! Married just over 6 months, what a blessing they are. Nicole is a wonderful cook....the meal was great but the joy of sharing it with them was awesome! Thank you Father for watching over me on the trip and for the presence of Jesus traveling with me! May your family be blessed abundantly this season........I like your blog! HIS forever, Terri
you are such a warm presence for me. and i appreciate your insight and your inspiration and your kindness. your friendship is not taken for granted...and even though this may sound strange considering we've never actually "met" i'm thankful for the community we belong to.

Our family tradition is to each share what we are thankful for. It is always shared with a tear or two. Your list is fantastic. I love laughter and a good night's sleep, yes, and the 40th birthday is extra special too. Oh so many things on your list I can say ditto. Thanks for you!
i am thankful for you!!! for having you as a friend and not forgetting about me. thank you for making my day!
I have loved all your lists of late and I love the smile you put on my face when I come for a visit.
I'm thankful for having my family together today in Florida. I'm thankful that the personal world I live in is the right world for me. I love to be here.
Thanks for being a blogging friend.
Happy Thanksgiving Relyn, hope your weekend is full of more blessings.
Wow -- I just love this. Love how you gathered them all.
May I add that I am grateful for the beauty and thought you bring into my life -- and the new friendships!
great list to be thankful for
I am thankful that I got to celebrate Thanksgiving in October, and now, once again with all of my american blogging friends! I try and be grateful everyday, but two special days dedicated to gratitude....well, I am overflowing. :)
This list is full of happy-making goodness.
