What do you have to give thanks for?

This isn’t a religious thread. Just tell us what things you are grateful for, if you feel like it. We all should always take at least a moment to list down the things we are happy for. Helps to remember them during those so not-so-happy moments.

ME:

-I’m grateful I exist in the first place. Meaning, my life has never sucked enough for me to wish I was never born.

-I’m glad I was born in Puerto Rico. It’s been a unique experience, standing right between American and Latino cultures.

-I give thanks for my family. They may have never TRULY understood me, but hey, I AM pretty weird. And they ALWAYS gave me their love and support notheless.

-I give thanks for all my friends, particularly the Almodovar family. Who’d thunk that I would ever befriend the “class bully” (not really) much less that his family would become as close to me as my own? I learned the value of TRUE friendship from them.

-I am grateful I eventually grew up out of the selfish funk I had growing up. I realize now, that many people never do.

-And I give thanks that I found RPGC, a place where I was finally understood and accepted. No, I’m NOT being sarcastic.

THANKS.

I don’t celebrate thanksgiving, but meh…

Hmmm…
steals #1, #3 and #6 from Wil’s list

I’m grateful that Wil wrote those three so I don’t have to write them down too. :stuck_out_tongue:

I would say that we can all be grateful that there are people making DAMN good games for us to play, otherwhise RPGC wouldn’t have existed. :stuck_out_tongue:

But to actually be serious…

I’m sending a big Thank You to Weiila, if it weren’t for her I wouldn’t have gotten the confidence to actually show anyone the things I’ve written.

And I’m grateful that I have lots of other friends too, but it would take too long to list them all by name, so “Ingen nämnd, ingen glömd.” (No one mentioned(/named), no one forgotten.)

I’m thankful that I’m a good natured, well rounded, morally sound intelligent male. If there’s anybody up there, thanks; because looking around the world, what I have is a gift.

I’m thankful for my friends. The good ones at least. I’ve had some shitty friends, and the ones that I really consider friends of mine are people worth thanking - if only for existing.

I’m thankful for my mother. She’s been through so much in her life, and she had the will to raise a proud, morally sound and well rounded son - even in the face of all his stupid mistakes.

I’m thankful for my father for making me the man I am today. People have heard me bitch about my father for years around here - he was not a good father, but I know he did some things right. And perhaps the rotten way he treated me has had some positive after effects.

Also steals 1, 3, & 6 from Wil

-I give thanks for being able to live in the same nice city I was born in even and go to the same school that I’ve been in since 1st grade after moving twice.

I give thanks that we had peace with the Indians on this day. Then we slaughtered them like cattle. ^^

I always celebrate in the traditional way. We gather all our friends and family, have a huge feast, then kill them and take their land. :wink:

Anydangway…I’m thankfull for all the usual stuff, friends, family, etc.

And also for this place right here. I don’t know what I’d do without it. :slight_smile:

I’m thankful that my parents give me a lot of choices in my life.
So basically, I love having the parents I have :smiley:

I gave thanks for the following things on 11 October (this year’s Canadian Thanksgiving):

  1. Mother Earth for providing the foods and drinks for the feast. I was especially thankful for all of the meat and dairy products which I ate then, because it takes so much energy to produce them.
  2. My loving family and our good health.
  3. Having a good home and living in a first-world country which is peaceful; being not born into poverty.
  4. Myself: my goals, my opportunities, and my talents amongst other things

Personally, I think of my celebration of Thanksgiving as a pagan Germanic harvest holiday, and I basically just thank spirits of the natural world.

I do not celebrate the coming of Europeans to the Americas and the destruction of Native American cultures.

~My parents, without them I’d not be where I am right now.
