Here in the states, we are getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving... a time to feel gratitude. I know the chick's life challenge focuses on this, but I thought that even you aren't able to spend the time to come up with a layout, you may at least want to list a couple of things that you are grateful for. Even those who aren't celebrating Thanksgiving can participate... a gratitude stream. :)
Here are a few of mine...
1. My DH and DD... I feel so lucky to have them
2. The chance to start on a new path in life
3. Good friends
4. The digi scrapping community... especially those at the Digi Chick!
5. A hobby that is so much fun
6. So many other things... I can't list them all...
What about you?

Hmmmm, jumping in....
1. Thankful for my family and their extreme patience and understanding while I do my "scrapping thing."
2. My friends around me who support me even when I can be a bit flakey.
3. My family is happy which makes me happy.
4. Here - it is the one place I start and the last one I come to before I go to bed - it is my online home......with such wonderful friends that I never imagined I would have around me.
5. That I get to do what I love - digi scrap for some really awesome designers (and they haven't killed me for my flakiness) and also create some fantastic pages for my family.
6. That life seems to be back to normal and I feel like I have "time" again.....
So many but won't hog this thread....so who's next???

Me too...
1. I am grateful for my family. My kids and my husband are my life.
2. I am grateful for my home, I never knew that I would be so happy in the armpit of California.
3. I am thankful for God. I fought my relationship for so long, it feels good to finally find my place and to finally *know* what I have always been afraid to ask.
4. I am thankful for my friends. I am surrounded by such a strong group of woman that love me whether I am lauging or on my knees crying.
5. I am thankful for the family I haven't known through my life that are now so important in my day to day.
Ok.....done being mushy.
NEXT!!!

2. I am thankful for a community of friends who are there for you when you need them. TDC. Thanks ladies
3. I am thankful for my DH and my children.
4. Thankful for my grandchildren
5. Thankful for our men and women in the armed forces who keep us free.
6. Thankful for my right to speak my mind and believe in God.
7. Thankful for an extended loving family.
The list goes on and on, but I just hit the ones that are important to me. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

hey thankful people!!! check this out. My husband has been with regular employment for well over a year. I am SO THANKFUL that God really indeed does know and can supply our daily needs. We were down to our last $100 in the checkbook (again! and that's not a typo. one hundred dollars left) and AGAIN God has come through for us by providing a check for $5000 for the next month or so worth of expenses. ***HE DID THE SAME THING LAST MONTH*** I am so thankful!

hey there...
1. I am thankful for having a houseful of boys (including my big boy husband).
2. I am thankful I live in Phoenix with BEAUTIFUL weather (upper 80s this week & we've been hangin' in the backyard listenin' to Christmas tunes).
3. I am thankful that I am a SAHM and can see my little ones do crazy stuff every day.
4. I am thankful that my MIL watches the boys almost any time I want a break.
5. I am thankful that my husband only has a broken rib and didn't puncture anything crazy inside (Friday night stood on a stool, fell on it, pain for a few days, finally went to Urgent care yesterday).
6. I am thankful that we have duct tape to make sure that Hudson doesn't remove his diaper late at night or early in the morning. (started this three nights ago & it's FABULOUS) :)
7. I am thankful I get to play with the digi chick chickies. How fun.

What a great idea, Kimberlee! I have so much to be thankful for...
--a husband I adore and respect, who thinks I'm pretty cool :)
--a daughter who continues to fill our lives with joy every day, and another baby coming soon
--a family who taught me what's really important in life
--a God who gives second chances, and who always has the best in mind for each of us
--a hobby (/obsession) that showed me I can do right-brained, creative things
--amazing online friends :)
there's lots more, but I'll stop here :)

Oh! I am so glad I had a minute to stop by!
I am thankful
every day for my lovely husband!
to God for providing me a Godly man to be married to.
for my relationship with God, and that it is such a personal one.
for my parents, and the way they raised us.
for our collective family, friends, and church.
for our modest little home, that is filled with memories and love.

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, but I definitely have things to be thankful for:
- my parents who made me a pretty cool chick LOL
- my brother who's becoming a man
- my boyfriend who loves me as I am and makes me a better person
- my friends, especially for my best friend's baby to come, I'm so happy for her!
- my job, even if it's crazy these days I feel lucky to get paid each month to do what I like
- and last but not least a fantastic community on line and a very addictive hobby!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
