I'm so grateful for the people who have continued to work during this time, including our grocery store workers and health care workers. Happy Thanksgiving, Susan!

What a lovely message. I am also grateful for my faith and for our church that really tried to provide us with a sense of community through online sermons and electronic Bible studies. Where would we have been without our faith this year?

I don't have a big family, so we aren't that busy over Decembers. But I love Christmas and if you give me half a chance, I'll go seriously crazy! And then I'm busy...

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in South Africa, but I do believe that the whole world should this year. Just reflect a bit on what we still have.

Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.

I'm so glad there are treatments for type 1 diabetes now! Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for stopping by.

Yes to all of these, but the simple conveniences. I remember being without power for 8 days after super storm Sandy - no heat, hot water, showering, electricity, internet. It's terrible!

All these grateful lists are so nice to read. Happy thanksgiving!

It's definitely nice to have some more positive, grateful and uplifting posts and that's why I love this topic this week too :) Your list is wonderful, and definitely filled with so many things to be thankful for! My mom has Type I Diabetes too (has since she was a teenager) and we definitely also appreciate all the improvements in science and technology that help her manage everything easier!

So much to be thankful for in this year of loss! Extra grateful for and spoiled by wifi, online ordering, and curbside pickup! I may never go into a store again!

Beautiful list, from the simple conveniences right up to family, faith. I'm grateful for these too. Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a couple of Facebook friends who post something they're grateful for each day of November. Some of their daily posts are big, some are small, but as you say, it's a refreshing change of pace after the divisiveness of "election season" (Elections are starting to feel like a near-constant in our lives. Will they never stop campaigning?).

Another friend has posted a daily "check-in" post since the pandemic started. She asks any of her friends to weigh in on a prompt she provides or to share a concern or a happy moment. One day a week she encourages us to share something we're grateful for.

I haven't joined in with any of those gratitude posts but I'm thinking I need to. I really needed the time to reflect on how much I have to be thankful for, even in this train wreck of a year.

I'm glad you have so much to be grateful for as well.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

I loved this post! Thank you so much for sharing.

What a great list, Susan. I am a firm believer that there truly is always some to be thankful for. Sometimes it’s just a matter of perspective.

There are so many things to be grateful for, aren't there? I know I'm thankful for family, a warm house, a car that runs, a job, friends, a full pantry, the gospel and all the good things it brings to my life, good books, and so much more. Great post, Susan! :)

I've definitely been thankful for books more than ever this year!

Nice video. :) I didn't realize he was 96! Wonderful message, thanks for sharing it. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

This is such an exceptional post! I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving.

I'm non-religious person who is very interested in religions and churches if that doesn't sound like a contradiction (I know it does). So I watched Dr. Nelson's video with a great deal of interest. What an uplifting and inspiring speaker. It was just beautiful, and thank you for sharing, Susan. I'm thankful for most of the things that you are - family, health, my few special friends (like you I'm not hugely social), my country and yours, and so on. Books and my thirst for knowledge sustain me through tough times, hard to overstate that. Happy Thanksgiving to you from across The Pond.

Great reminder, Susan, that the world as we have known it for our entire lives is not completely falling apart. There is much to be thankful for still. Number 11 on my list would be that I think we may be seeing a little light at the end of that dreadful Covid tunnel now. Keep your fingers crossed.

What a wonderful list! While some of these were not on my list, I too am grateful for them. I am so happy that there is technology nowaday to help manage DM (or other diseases) with greater ease. It always blows my mind how technology and healthcare are advancing. It really does make a huge difference in people's lives. While I do not have DM, I am grateful that the technology exists, that you have access to it, and I am grateful that people like you have a bit easier when it comes to managing their health problems. ❤️

Beautiful post!

There is so much I am grateful for in my life. I just started doing a study around the book 1000 Blessings that has me focusing on the little things. I love doing my Positivity Post each Friday. It helps me to focus on the good things. Wonderful video Susan, thanks for sharing.

A wonderful list! I hope you have a relaxing and lovely time with your family this week!

Great post and lovely list of things to be thankful for. I agree, there is always something to be thankful for, even in the darkest times, no matter how small. Have a lovely Thanksgiving <3

What a beautiful post. All wonderful things to be grateful for indeed.

I am grateful for my family,friends,helpful neighbors. I am grateful for my country. America is not perfect but it allows us freedom. i am grateful for books. I am grateful for my Catholic upbringing. Wishing you and yours a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving
Marilyn and family

So many great things on this list that you are thankful for, Susan. We share many of them. I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Stay safe and healthy! <3

Thanks for sharing that video. It really is a wonderful message. And I'm so there with you on appreciating the simple conveniences. It became even more apparent how reliant I am on so many conveniences when we started experiencing shortages because of the pandemic.

So much to be thankful for even in this hard year. <3 I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
