Blog #9 Thanksgiving and giving thanks, where thanks is due.

Good morning cadets. Your task this week is to post reasons why you are thankful during this time of year in advance of the Thanksgiving Holiday.  As usual, post a story or video that supports your point of view and lastly remember to post feedback on at least one of your peer's work.  I will start this off with my reasons for being thankful.

I am thankful for living in a country that guarantees I have Freedom of Speech. I am also thankful for my health, family, abilty to work, grand-kids, and mostly my loving wife whom has supported me through thick and thin.

    I am very thankful for a family that supports me in all of my hobbies, having a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food on the table, and that I am still living. God bless our souls and God bless America!

    I am thankful for having such a wonderful family that I come home to everyday and for having food in my fridge and a roof over my head. I am also thankful for great friends that I talk to on a daily day basis and that I am healthy and alive, I should appreciate it more because some people aren't as lucky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNsDTOEii4s

      Its important to take time to be thankful that our fundamental needs are being fulfilled which we generally overlook in life, especially when not everyone enjoys the same opportunities as us.

    I'm thankful for the family I have and all the good things and bad things that have happened to me this year. It's all part of life and only God knows the reason as to why things like those happen. Thankful for the food I have on my table everyday because there's other who don't have to eat on a daily basis. I'm thankful for those friends that have stayed with me through everything and deal with me on a daily basis. Thankful that I wake up to a new day everyday and I'm not suffering like others are in a hospital due to illnesses. Thankful for my parents who keep me motivated everyday to keep on learning to have a brighter future than what they had.

    I am thankful for a functioning body, supportive and loving family and friends and I am thankful for being a citizen of a nation where I can freely voice my opinions, write or read whatever I wish, do whatever I please without being bound to unjust biased regulations based on religious affiliation, gender, race, or class and where I can truly thrive.

    This Thanksgiving I am mostly thankful for the mother that I have because she means a lot to me and I appreciate all the efforts that she makes for me to have a better life and she's always been there for me when I need her. I am also thankful for having a family and a house because I know others aren't as lucky as I am to have one so I appreciate that and for the people in my life. And I am lastly thankful for being able to go to school even though sometimes I complain and don’t want to go, I am thankful because I know that others aren't as fortunate as me and can't go because of money or other problems in their country and for my health.
