Thankfulness in 2020

[coco]

There have been better years. Still, we all have a lot that we can be thankful for this Thanksgiving. List stuff here.

I believe in the saving power of Christ, his mercy, and his love.

And pie.

Tendrils of smoke, ephemeral, on a winter's night.






And pie. Definitely pie.

[Del]

Okay.... I'll say it.

I am thankful for the Hallmark Channel, for keeping Mrs. Del entertained throughout this awful year. And for being a corner of reliable, wholesome entertainment for sensible women of a certain age.... when the rest of the media has gone crazy with woke-hysteria.

Best effectual prayer even invoked within me by His Spirit: "Lord, grant unto me a thankful heart."

I have amazing friends that I grew in those relationships this year.

I have a tattoo as proof.

As much as I don’t want to go in tomorrow, I’m incredibly thankful for still having a job right now.

Bruh...this has been a great year!

Society went to poo, but I never much cared for society, so meh. Moved a lot of friends over to the acquaintance category. Epic money-saving victory.

My wife learned to cook. I mean learned to COOK.

Metric s***-tonne of projects got done around here. House looks good!

Shut down let me get to spend more time around my kids than I ever have been able to--i rather enjoyed it.

Did I mention good eats?

TV finally is shut off. The wonderful sounds of an old house creaking fill the rooms.

I'm making less money than ever but enjoying its fruits more. Less consumptive spending. I'm really thankful for that.

My family is safe
Bills and taxes are getting paid
Good friends
There is still mass on Sundays, usually.
The roof doesn't leak, the car starts and the plumbing works
I have a Discalced Carmelite for my spiritual guide.
Doesn't get much better!

- I've worked from home home for years and now Mrs FredS has been doing teletherapy from home for the last few months. She's set up in the guest bedroom next to my office. I like it.

- Now that I hear what Mrs FredS does all day I'm thankful for healers and encouragers. The world needs more of her and less of me.

- I'm thankful for firefighters and those that support them.

- I'm thankful I live in a country that cares about cold, clean water, and that has taken measures to protect it and the fishes that live in it.

- Thankful for a steady income and an employer that values my work and my well being.

- My children are wonderful people and have hooked up with other wonderful people and they're building wonderful families. I thought it was nice when it was just my wife and I as newlyweds, but now there are 14 of us and it's even better.

- Thankful for my friends at/from CPS. Don't want to sound like a white suburban soccer mom, but you're my 'tribe' and I enjoy my time with you. Now more than ever I'm thankful for this virtual place.

[tuttle]

-All of my daughter's surgeries have thus far been successful (one more this year tho)

-Still have a job and health

-Our church is still open, fighting, and have blessed us in ways beyond mention

-The Mexican place in town

-A higher degree of clarity on certain cultural issues (knowing where you stand is important and this year has highlighted quite a few lines in the sand)

-Family, both immediate and extended, has grown closer, stronger.

-For me beer and tobacco

-For nurses and grocery store workers

-For the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl (that was this year folks!!!)

-For the onslaught of chili lime flavored snack products

You provide mods with a ton of great title material. If only Mont and S&S would do the same.

I pretty much echo this. Also thankful that my company is doing so well. And thankful for my wonderful first world life where running out of pipe tobacco seems like a crisis.
