Topic: Just for Fun

What Are You Thankful For?

Posted by Valerie Witt on 500 Points
Hi gang. I was just reading Ann's "A Note to Readers" in this morning's issue of MarketingProfs Today. It made me feel all warm and cheery to see my colleagues' inventory of things they are grateful for.

See today's newsletter here:
https://www.marketingprofs.com/webnews/6/news11-21-06_0.asp

Then I thought: "Why not go bigger? Let's make a LONGER list of people/events/circumstances/stuff that make us feel good?" The more, the merrier. It's bound to be inspiring. We'll create a VORTEX of positive energy!

OK, maybe I'm getting a little carried away. ;)

But please play along. Share a couple of things you're thankful for. I know it sounds like a silly exercise. But once a year really isn't too often to reflect on those things that make us happy. And remember, reflecting on them is usually enough to generate ANOTHER big dose of happiness all by itself. :)

Best,

Val

    I'm thankful for:

    - health
    - ideas
    - opportunity
    - and the ability to to persue all three above.

    I'm also thankful for MarketingProfs, their blogs, their forums, and all the people who meet here to exchange questions and answers, build upon ideas and concepts, and the fellowship that has evolved over the years from Marketing Profs.

    I'm also thankful for my wife, my kids, my family, my extended family, and all the customers out there (prospective and current).

    Have a happy turkey day, and be well.

    Am thankful for having family to love and accept me. Having control of my senses and having a job that even if does not satisfy me- at least pays me the money that allows me to pursue activities that do.

    I am thankful for family. Two deaths have happened in my family this year, a grandmother and a cousin. This really isn't a cherry subject, but be thankful for your family. Spend as much time with them as possible. The holidays may be the last time you see them.

    its a nice idea to direct our thinking to what is positive but yet we don’t think of every day, after reading your responses I found that I’m really blessed in a lot of things that i should appreciate and not just pass it like its nothing.... I’m healthy now after a very bad illness, a lot of my previous wishes have come true like the job I have its very challenging and very open to life, relations, experience and knowledge…

    Its been a good year, full of appreciation and progress...

    Thank you all for the positive thinking

    I'm thankful for my Lord and His unending grace, my husband, my kids who keep me challenged at every step, my job, my partners, my family, my big sister and her wonderful parenting advice and spiritual guidance, ... there are so many things, too many to list.

    Even when things seem bad, I'm thankful for the opportunity to grow through them and become a strong, better person.

    Happy Holidays Everyone!

    Thankful that the best things in life are free!

    Holidays, weekends, singing birds on the tree, rhythm of the falling rain, hugs, a smile, laughter, gentle breeze on a warm afternoon, sunrise and sunsets, an assurance, a hope, an act of kindness, a brand new day, presents on Christmas morning ;)

    The list goes on and on!

    What a great idea!!!! Well, this is kind of a hard question, because I am thankful for so much! First and for most I want to thank God for everything he has done in my life. Without him I might not be breathing, and I might not have the things that I have. Next I am thankful for my family and friends, I don't know where I would be without them, they are my life! And one of the most important things to me in this world are animals. Especially my pets. I currently have 3 horses, 1 dog, 3 cats, and 3 rabbits. I could not live without any of them. They are my heart and soul. Especially one of my horses, that saved me from the deep dark part of the world. But animals in general, are what make me, me. They are the best creation God made, besides human beings. And to end there, I just am thankful for life! And it is good to realize what we have sometimes, because many people are not as fortunate as us. Thanks for posting such a wonderful question!!!!

    Thanks lord. For being there with me....even allowing me to think that you are a non existence.

    Thanks wife. For nagging and pestering me so much so that we have good things in life, i hit home early and eats a decent meal. And great time together.

    Thanks colleagues. For all the day to day pain inflicted, so that I overcome that...and learn to see your love in making me grow.

    Thanks Mom, Pop. For allowing me to fall, so that I can run, not crawl.

    Thanks partners. For making me work more, so that I become the best among equals.

    Thanks everyone. For reading this, and realising how better you are.

    last Year was great. New year, greatest.

    Checks from clients, mostly. I'd like to say "health" or "family" or something more meaningful... but honestly, most of the time, I'm most thankful for clients who send me checks.
