What are you thankful for?
-
Apologies if one has already been posted. I infiniscrolled for a little bit and did not see one.
As the USAian Thanksgiving is tomorrow, it is the traditional time to say thanks. So what do you have to be thankful for? If you can't find something, you are not trying hard enough. Anyone still alive can at least be thankful for that.
I am thankful for two great kids, a great wife, success in life and career, lots of opportunity, and even though it is a lot of work I am thankful to be able to host friends and family for dinner tomorrow.
Now, to be thankful for the Vicodin that will calm my sciatica from cooking for 12 hours and the cocktail to help me unwind. Everything is prepped for tomorrow. The only thing that really needs cooking is the turkey (that is now sitting peacefully in a briny bath (I am also thankful for cold Midwestern falls, so I do not have to fit a 5 gallon bucket in a fridge)), sweet potatoes and the gravy when the turkey is resting.
I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving. Or, if you are not in the US, Happy Thursday.

I'm thankful for late night fake news shows because they make it easier to live in a world where terrible things happen for no reason.
On an unrelated note, my game was greenlit on Steam today! The latest released version is available on ModDB until we can get it set up as a Steam app. So I guess what I'm really thankful for is people who want to fire guns at aliens, but don't want to pay for a flight to space or a rifle that uses the same type of ammunition as a flamethrower.

I am thankful for quite a few things. One of them, which might seem an odd thing to be thankful for, is that I have explicit permission/encouragement to work during the holiday weekend "if necessary to achieve project goals." (Because if not, I'd lose two days' pay. Yay, billable hours.) I've already nominally met my goal for the week, but boss+1 would like me to meet a stretch goal that will make next week's goal rather more achievable.

Congrats Ben. If I were a gamer, I would give it a try. Hope it does well.

If it makes you happy and thankful, that is all that matters.

Happy, meh; there are certainly things I'd rather do than work. A full paycheck, though, that's something to be thankful for, and I might even be able to go beyond 40 hours, if I don't run into too many roadblocks that I can't overcome without help from coworkers, and that would be a definite .

I am grateful for juxtapositions like this one:

I'm grateful to have a body, broken and damaged as it is, because it keeps me grounded in the world around me, marks me as part of the human race, helps me empathize with others who suffer.
I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to share my writing with the world, because it makes people happy to read it, and that warms my heart.
I'm grateful for my loving and supporting family-by-choice. They're everything to me, I'd be lost without them.
I'm grateful for SockDrawer, for the chance to continue doing what I love even when my job wants me to do other things.
I'm grateful for my job, because without it we'd be on the streets.
I'm grateful for modern medicine.

The fuck? Where did you come from?
I am also thankful that we are getting more women in this place. I was getting tired of hitting on @Lorne-Kates all the time.

@Claire-Collins I'm from Mars. We are practically neighbors!!

I am thankful for my (very numerous) family. There's always enough people that any activity can have plenty of participants, and you can leave the baby with them to get away for a bit if you need to. :P
I am thankful for a wonderful wife and son (and a new one on the way).
I am thankful that we are generally healthy.
I am thankful that I have a decently-paying job that I enjoy, and for my good supervisor, boss, and co-workers.
I am thankful that we have a good place to live.
I am thankful for our technology that let's us talk to friends and family across the world in seconds.

@Karla I'm thankful, that my life is so full that I can even pretend to care about this.

I'm thankful for a beautiful, caring wife and our three awesome daughters (with another on the way).
I'm thankful for a great job that, while crazy, has been a huge benefit to my career and may be opening up a path for me to be part of a new software company.
I'm grateful for a home that lets me comfortably host friends and family whenever I want (even if my in-laws stole my thunder this year).
I'm grateful for friends, here and IRL, that help make life more fun.

I can't tell if you love my avatar, or hate it.

I love it.

I'm thankful that losing 20kg since August has restored my ability to wipe my own arse. Not requiring an immediate shower after every shit is a genuine luxury.

That is enough to be thankful for right there.
