I am thankful my mom got caught drinking and driving and has stopped drinking and I am thankful my family took this very well and have been supportive of her through her legal struggle. I am also thankful for the things we have and that there is food every night on our table.

I'm thankful that my dad is still alive today.  He was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer a year ago that had produced a inoperable tumor that is wrapped around his vertebrae pinching nerves, threatened his blood flow, and a kidney.  He is undergoing chemo and had two weeks of radiation.  Which has given me more time to spend with him.  He has problems walking.  When I was little we spendt alot of weekends in the mountains doing various things as a family!  So, lately we've been taking drives in the woods, getting out of the house is a big thing for him!

I'm thankful I didn't die last weekend in the full frontal collision that happened when I was riding with someone and a total inebriated schmuck wrecked into us.

I'm thankful for good friends, both real and imagined, my family, my wonderful girlfriend :love: The fact that I can walk, and run, and someday be a firefighter.  I am thankful for all the men and women overseas and at home protecting America and serving America through rain, snow, holidays, and everything else, with little thanks for it.


THANK YOU, AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!

I'm thankful for my children most of all. They have changed my life more than I could've ever imagined.

I am thankful we were fortunate enough to make our journey to MCR4 and back safely and got to meet all the great people on the board that we met, and was especially thankful to get to meet Marlin, the family and all the crew at the shop.
I am also thankful I have an amazing husband that can build like a mad fool.

I'm thankfull for the people in uniform who risk their lives so we can live ours, be-it overseas or landside.

But mostly I'm very thankfull that I've been given a second chance at life, and try to appreciate every day I have with friends and family.
RIP KYOTA

I am thankful for life.  I know that everything hasn't been real peachy lately but hey, life goes on and it'll either get better or worse.  I'm thankful for my family, my friends, my closer friends , my trucks, my animals, my Grandparent's health, and of course, the Marlin Board and all the crew :yesnod:

I am thankful for my family and friends. My girl and all the people in my life that I care about. I'm grateful for living in the U S of A and being able to have freedom to do what I want. Yea we all rant about the bad things that go on in our lives but personally speaking i've got it much better then many out there so really I have no reason to complain. Roof over my head and food in my belly with family members that care.. I guess thats really what its all about. Of course it could always be "better".. i'm sure it could be better in one way or another for anyone but just be grateful for what you have. I'm also grateful for meeting so many wonderful people over the internet... its been a great experiance for me.
