I'd like to encourage all of you to join me in starting a new tradition (habit) to carry throughout the coming new year. That habit is called Thank You Thursday or TYT for short. Let's all make a deliberate effort to say THANK YOU and express our appreciation for the random acts of kindness people show to us or for just being a good friend.
Yes, we should do this all of the time. The truth is that we take those around us for granted. I think that setting aside one day during the week to make an extra effort to simply say "Thank you" would make the world a better place. Let's make that day Thursdays. Please join me.
What or whom are you Thankful for? |
| I am thankful for the great kids I had just move into my house (teen grandkids)and am so glad I can have them stay with me.... |
| I am thankful-SOOO thankful_ to have my two kids & a new son-in-law home for the first Christmas in 3 years. My cup runneth over! |
Oh, and Richard, THANK YOU for such an uplifting and positive thread! I will look forward to visiting on Thursdays! : |
| Thank you, Richard, for reminding us of the value of 'bad' jokes and puns. |
| I'd like to give a special thanks to Jim Beam Kentucky bourbon. |
| I'm thankful that tomorrow's Friday. |
| Richard, what are you on? |
Sleep deprivation and an overwhelming sense of how wonderful life can be if you are always smiling and treat others the way you wish to be treated. Thanks for asking.

Good answer Richard...  |
| I'm cool with that. Just checking. |
Christmas gift suggestions for this Thank You Thursday:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

I am thankful for good health...and I am serious about that!
Some people that I know have all kinds of health problems: arthritis, physical disabilities that prevent them from walking or being able to dress themselves, diabetes (therefore unable to eat what they please as I am), alcohol addictions, parkinsons, a few that have or have had cancer, some that have health problems from being overweight, and on-and-on.
Whenever I feel like complaining about my lot in life I always remember that cliche': "you still have your health".
Good idea with this thread, Richard, and thank you. |
| I am thankful that my old parenting skills tho dusty and hidden deep inside me haven't been lost, as I noticed the kids are responding well and doing better than ever...Old folks (like myself) can do things, just takes a bit longer LOL... |
| “When we become more fully aware that our success is due in large measure to the loyalty, helpfulness, and encouragement we have received from others, our desire grows to pass on similar gifts. Gratitude spurs us on to prove ourselves worthy of what others have done for us. The spirit of gratitude is a powerful energizer.” — Wilferd A. Peterson |
I am thankful beyond words to the generosity of the people here in good ol' Custer County! The Custer County Fund for Animals is so proud and happy that we are finally ready to launch an 'All Out Assault'  on the unwanted pet overpopulation problem, which could never have happened without receiving the support and funds that have been coming in to us. A simple Thank-you just isn't enough!
We are hoping to put very large dents not only in the feral cat population ~ by trapping, neuter/spaying, and returning them ~ but to also assist the well meaning pet owners who, in these trying times, simply cannot afford to have their pets altered. Please feel free to call us ~ we do require the owner of the animal to contribute a portion of the cost, but we're sure you will be surprised *in a good way  at what we can offer. Call 234-6118 or 232-3727 for more details. Happy New Year!

| I am thankful that someone finally put a positive thread on this site. I am also thankful that I have my son, my job, my family, and my friends. |
I am thankful today for two things:
1. Chile peppers.
2. Garlic.
Life on the planet would be a lot duller without them. |
| I'm thankful for the existence of pharmaceuticals. |

-Megha Ganatra |
| Ditto on the pharmaceuticals as without them, I would be in a great deal more pain...this weather is killing me, at the moment... |
"The way to develop the best in a person is by appreciation and encoragement."
I would encourage you to spell "encouragement" correctly! Thank You!

| That is a great message to pass on. How very liberal of you Richard. |
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
--Albert Schweitzer |
 |
| I'm thankful for the existence of Buddhism. This tax season, I AM zen. |
| Thank you for Ashley-Dawn. I have a cold and am having trouble staying awake and her posts have both made me laugh and gotten me angry, thus keeping me awake. She's not as good as Butch at aggravating me but I'm sure she'll get better at! |
| I am thankful for friends like Gunnar who post pictures that give new meaning to "rekindle the inner fire". (My apologies to Amazon ) |
| I am thankful for my family and friends. I am also thankful for my customers who have supported our Dairy Queen store for the past 36 years. I invite you to come out on Saturday for our customer appriciation day. Most items will be at 50% off. Thanks Miles City! |
| Hey Tab, I'd be very thankful if you would share your recipe for potato salad. I am sort of a potato salad junky and yours is one of the best I have ever tasted. |
I am just thankful for another Thursday! Especially as entertaining as this one has been.  |
It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

| I am thankful for President Obama, as if it wasn't for his stimulous spending programs that created over three million jobs, our economy would be in way worse shape. |
| Have to agree without the Democrats, the country would be in far worse shape...Just wish they would stop getting more conservative IMO...Oh well, apples and oranges...LOL... |
| I am thankful that my zen is holding up so far. |
