The Thankfulness Thread

[Aqua Letifer]

What are you thankful for? My list:

• My family's in an ideal spot to ride this shit out, both career-wise and in terms of local geography.
• I got out of a horrendous job situation. So did my old boss.
• I still meet with my D&D group, in the midst of all of this year's horseshit. Once or twice a month we meet to explore vampire tombs and make jokes about Christopher Lee. Which is good.
• You lot.

Except for Klaus. He'd be okay if he wasn't so, y'know...

I have a 3 week old son

Multiple vaccines at 95% effectiveness.

Family can ride this out indefinitely

Son seems none the worse for wear because of it. I realize that’s not typical.

Things I'm thankful for:

• My mortality
• Electronic shifting on my road bike
• The lambda calculus (cf. my avatar)

A great family and two adorable dogs visiting. Nice to have critters in the house.

I'm thankful for my family, their health, and for my job and the people that make up the corporation. Lots of decent people surrounded me my whole life. Also thankful my dogs are healthy.

I forgot one thing.

I’m thankful for Klaus’s mortality.

Nope! I try to keep my kids photos offline, but thanks!

But I can travel from BW to the USA (Corona notwithstanding). You are not safe.

I’m thankful for many of things I encounter here and the diversity thereof.

Thankful for many of the things already mentioned. But also for-

my 91 yo mother being relatively healthy and active.
my husband, who takes such good care of us.

[kluurs]

Thankful for my life and the friends I have.
The wisdom and humor I find here
For the joys found in the arts and in the world at large
For a semblance of good health

Spoken like the father of a teenager

[taiwan_girl]

Thankful for everything that I have when I realize that so so many people are less fortunate than I.

And to all the friends here, those who I met and those who have yet to meet.

A Thanksgiving meal that is more appropriately portioned. It’s probably the first Thanksgiving meal in my adult memory where I did not eat too much.

In hind sight, for all my life to date I do not remember having to starve. That is probably sufficient reason to be thankful.
