ArtBistro

I am thankful for living in a country where, if you want to be an artist, you can; you may sometimes (ok, often) complain about the financial hardship, the overall population's lack of interest, but it is quite sweet to be that free...I came from France, land of art, where once it became heavily socialized (around 1981), being an artist on your own was just about as easy as being a professional football player here, for many reasons...which would take too long...So, yes, I am thankful for being here, able to do what I love (it was not due to me, it is truly a gift to be that free)

I'm thankful for my family, my husband the diplomat of the family, my daughters who are as different as moon and sun, my great big twin sons who still delight me each day, they have all been responsible for the expansion of my feelings. I am also grateful for trees and for the woods outside our back door, my bees who are getting ready for winter snow, for the ocean nearby where I walk my crazy black dog, which rejuvenates my soul, and for boundless creativity.

i am overjoyed to have my children back into my life, grateful to be healthy, thankful i'm not homeless, more than inspired by the memories of both my parents and dear friends passed. thankful for the courage to go on living, loving, and yes LAUGHING....!!! OUT LOUD...
but most of all thankful for learning how to love myself.

I am thankful for the synchronism of the universe. Just when I am overwhelmed with paperwork and obligations and dishes, the "right" friend calls and helps me to rest and get over myself.

So, Roheer, just how young were you when you got married? And faithhopefreedom, congratulations! annabower, you are so lucky to live by the ocean and you appreciate it! Janice, just by the tilt of your head, we can all see how happy you are. marcel, you have lived in 2 interesting places, haven't you; I'll drink to that! And, Valerie, you work so hard for all of us;
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

I'm thankful for life and all that involves

I am thankful for my wife, Lois! Without her I would not be walking. I have had both my knees and both my hips replaced. Before the surgeries, my wife was pushing me around in a wheelchair. I am thankful that I can walk without pain and that I can stand next to my wife and look her in the eyes and tell her I love her!
Everything else is just gravy!

I'm thankful for my family and their infinite love

I am thankful mainly for being alive, for having a home with a great wife and three amazing healthy kids. For living in a society where I can choose to do something that I love - for doing something that I love, for the intellegence I've been given to think and communicate, for my sanity (however insane I may be), for my sight, my hearing, my hands and feet. For my ability to be creative and think of new ideas. for being able to put food on the table.. For having great parents and a great network of friends (many who I've met on artbistro) for my health, for my ability to get up every morning, to walk, to be active. Even though I have to struggle at times, for not having to starve...I have lots lots more things to be thankful for but I'll stop here for now...

Shalom Everyone! I'm thankful for my Salvtion through my Messiah, Yeshua, my handsome husband Tom, my two wonderful Step-children, and three, beautiful grandchildren. As well as the many gifts and talents God has given me, and the Divinely appointed opportuniteis to use them.
