1) Thanksgiving means time for me to take a look back, and be thankful for the previous year.

2) Giving thanks everyday? When I see a beautiful thing, I say a silent thanks to the Almighty above..

Thanksgiving is a day for recalling fond memories of days gone by and being thankful for each one of them and the people who shared them.

I start each day with a prayer thanking God for another chance to enjoy all that life has to offer.

Hoping you have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is to acknowledge the things that give meaning to our lives. And there are so many reasons for us to give thanks inspite of the daily hustle and bustle of life. I only wish I was able to verbally express my thanks to people who does this immediately. I sometimes get too choked for words to do it.

I'm so sorry. Pressed for time tonight and tomorrow. Thanksgiving for me means good friends like the ones I've met through Thursday Two Questions. I'm thankful that I've discovered you. Happy Thanksgiving and see you again next week.

To me Thanksgiving is a time to be surrounded by family and friends, a time for reflection and love.

I try to appreciate all I see and all those I meet.

Happy Thanksgiving!

1) It means family time to me Jo. Since I wasn't born here, but you know I consider the US my home. However, there is also a bit of a disconnect with the culture differences, even though we try to adapt. We try to gather on this day, to give thanks to what we have and to celebrate each other.
2) I often try to remember god in all my blessings everyday. Making sure that all my gifts are appreciated, that I should not take anything for granted. I am here, and I am thankful for everything I have always. As such, I have made friends like you.

we don't have Thanksgiving in the Philippines but we have our ways of celebrating and giving thanks. Thanksgiving is a celebration of the blessings we have received and recognize the difference we make on each other's lives.

i pray every night before closing my eyes to thank God for everything He made possible.

1. In Australia, I feel that this day is the opening of the Christmas season.
2. Whenever I feel down and lost and tired (at the end of each work day, I don't have to go far to find something to be grateful for.

This is the first time in many years that I haven't written a poem for Thanksgiving...just too busy this year, too many things going on medically and otherwise...but I think most people who know me realize how much I value my family and friends hither and yon, old and new, from all over the globe. They have always meant so much to me,but even more so in the many months now that I have been without my job which left me feeling so bereft. I could not have endured if I hadn't had the support of all of them.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
