I have to say to be alive.  I have lost so many friends and family throughout the years and this year alone.  Also to have some food on the table. There are so many families who lost everything. We had to cut back on a lot of things as well ,but we are still hanging on. There are families who have lost both jobs, there homes ect. So I have to say I am thankful for my health and for the food on our table

That I still have a job.  When I hear about the percentage of jobless people in the United States, it makes me really sad.  I go to work each day being thankful that I have the opportunity to be there.  Whenever I am upset and feel like the job is getting to me, I think about all the other other people out there who would be grateful just to be working.  Especially, during the holidays, I really feel for the jobless.

I am most thankful for the wonderful sites and things I was able to see and do with all three of my children this year.  It's wonderful sharing vacations and activities with the whole family.

i am most thankful for my own strength. the strength to know that with all of lifes ups and downs, and its been a rollercoaster lately, that we will make it through.

nothing compares to a quiet evening at home

I am most thankful for having a job and a warm home to come to every night. Although I worry at times I truly can count it as a blessing that I have that.

I too am thankful that DH and I have jobs. Even my own family members are struggling financially. It will be a leaner Christmas this year. But at least we still are healthy and we can enjoy each other's company during our holiday gatherings. 

Also very thankful for my dh job and support from my family.  The list can go on and on and on.......my home, my backyard, my friends, my possessions, my faith, etc 

I am thankful for the support I have from my friends and family that allowed me to accomplish so much in the past year. I completed my degree, was able to work full time and now my husband and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first baby! I am so grateful for the strength to "keep going" and not give up when times get rough :)

I am so thankful for all the parents that bring their children to me everyday for childcare services.  It not only means I am employed, but it means they are employed.  It's a win-win.  I have an awesome group of children and great parents.    Thankful, Thankful, Thankful! 

Live,Love,Laugh! 

As others have mentioned, I am thankful that hubby and I have our jobs and our home. I see so many people struggling - many without jobs, many at risk of losing their homes, I feel blessed that we weren't hit too hard by the recession (knock on wood.)
