Cheers to all,

 The Blessings are to Bountiful to count  !     First I am thankful we have a day to slow down and remember how blessed we truly  are and that we have friends and family to share them with.   Mostly don't you think that people just want to know that they count , that they have value, that somebody loves them ?

Happy Thanksgiving to you all, this community is a gift. Thank you Chris and family.

I am grateful for my loved ones, human and critter, and the opportunities this country has allowed me throughout my life (despite current circumstances and problems) I know I am very fortunate to be alive in this place at this time.

Best to all

Hello All,

I am grateful for my family, my health and the roof over my head. I am also happy to wake up each day and enjoy life.

I know we all are worried about the rest of the "stuff" going down, but I am putting all that on hold today and just being grateful for what really matters.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am grateful for my spiritual practice in these precarious time, it is waiver with the value of the dollar.

I am also grateful for the monks who showed your video at our recent gathering, and thereby alerted me to the reality of our situation.

Thanx Chris

Hello Chris and everyone here,

I am grateful for this community--I am grateful for the knowledge and experience and perspectives shared here daily. I am grateful for the clarity brought forward by acceptance of truth -- as much as can be known and shared -- here and elsewhere. I am grateful for the gift of time--as much as we get--to plan and act according to what we believe based on this knowledge instead of on denial.

Most of all, I am grateful for the beauty around us and a human ability to focus on the beautiful and the good, while planning for exigencies brought on by other all-too-human frailties of greed and fear.

Planning for when TSHTF is best accomplished with an attitude of gratitude, isn't it? Otherwise, we focus on the fear and the negativity that had such a large role in bringing us to this pass.

I wholeheartedly believe in community as a strong response to these times of division and fear. What we bring to community creates the strength that can help us survive and thrive. The best fortress is a strong and engaged community where each contributes their own skill and labor, whether this be an Amish thrashing ring or the horizontally-based collaboration of a barter network. It is about relationship. May you all have enough for your family and friends and a little more--to share with those in need.

So thank you all for your contributions here and especially to you, Chris, and your family for sharing your time and knowedge and thought with us all. May we use what have wisely.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Of course I'm thankful for the same things as many others but I'm especially thankful for you and people like you Chris. I'm thankful for people like yourself who are so courageous to speak out and donate so much of their time for something they believe in.  You, Max Kaiser, Ron Paul, Bill Bonner, Peter Schiff and many others provide a bright, guiding light.  I just wish I had money to donate......Thank You!!!

Among the items on a long list, I am thankful for all I've learned here and the good folks I've come to "know" here in this community.  Happy Day to all of you (Yanks or not)!

I heard from my son about 36 hours ago.  I know he was OK at least then.  I'm thankful for that and that he only has about 3 months before his deployment os over.

Everything else sort of pales next to that.

I am grateful for the time my family has had to prepare for a very uncertain future.  I am grateful to have my son healthy and happy as his 1st birthday approaches.  And in about 2 hours time when I'm finished with work, I will be grateful for whoever came up with and passed along the recipe for turkey stuffed with apples and wrapped in bacon
