Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
It's so easy to get caught up in the melee of our hectic lives and to forget to appreciate the blessings we've all been given. There may be sadness, stress, disappointment but there are always things to be thankful for as well.
I'm thankful for this wonderful, supportive group of friends! I'm thankful for my family, my baby girls, that we live in a place where they have a bright future ahead of them full of so many possibilities. And I'm thankful for the support, acknowledgement and encouragement that we receive each and every day from our friends and visitors on the playground. You might not post but we know you're there and we hope that we're providing something back to you in return.
On this day, I hope that everyone enjoys a happy, safe Thanksgiving.
I'd love to hear what you're thankful for!

P.S. Because it's Thanksgiving I'm not going to be giving away a book a day - I'm going to be giving away 2 books today. So post and maybe you'll have something extra to be thankful for.
P.P.S. Yesterday's winner in our book-a-day giveaway is Pearl. Please email
P.P.P.S Beth, could you please email me at instigator@writingplayground.com to claim your prize from last week?
P.P.P.P.S Later today I'll be announcing the winner and posting a few of the entries from last weekend's blog contest. We have some very talented writers and readers out there!!

Congrats Pearl.

I'm thankful for my family and good health. My mom is 84 and keeps us all going. My daughter and her boyfriend are here for thanksgiving and that makes it special too.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Playfriends and Playmates! I am most thankful for my family and friends today. That includes my e-friends. All of you mean a lot to me, so today I am thankful for each of you!

After learning that a young friend's 30 year old husband died suddenly on Sunday and then that horrible bus accident on Monday, I just have so very much to be thankful for. I have family and friends who love me and whom I cherish. I have a roof over my head and a turkey thawing in the bathtub. ::grin::

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm thankful for lots of things--DG, AC, Mom, Counselor Shelley--all of whom are happy and healthy.

I'm thankful for my fellow Playfriends and Mavens who support me on my journey and make the trip a lot more fun. And I'm thankful for the efriends I've found here. You all make the Playground the place I love to be!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Eat lots. (and even if you're in a place that doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving today, have a great day! Everyday is a good day to remember what we have to be thankful for!)

Coming out of the void here to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Congrats, to all who've won in contests this past week.

Thanksgiving...a time to give thanks for all we've been given and to give back in return. I'm thankful for my family, our health, the many good blessings that followed us through this past year, for freedom (remember so many of our soldiers, sailors and airmen and women are away from home right now protecting our rights to freedom and the rights of others to be free), and last but certainly not least...Angel, Smarty Pants, Problem Child, Instigator and Playground Monitor who've shown me insurmountable encouragement and friendship this past year. Thanks for all you've done for me, gang. You're the best!

There are so may things to be thankful for on this day and every other too. I would have to say I'm thankful for my beautiful family, their health, our home, and the wonderful fellowship we shared during dinner. I pray that everyone has a slice of happiness today and everyday.

I'm late chiming in...just got back from DB's parent's house. I am so full of turkey. Ugh.

Anyway, I'm thankful for my family, my friends and my health. I'm thankful that everyone I love is healthy and happy. I'm thankful that I live in a free country and can pursue my dreams. I'm thankful I have a job that affords me (most) of the things I want in life and all of the things I need. I'm thankful for the various talents I've been given and I hope I'm making good use of them all. I'm thankful not only for the Playfriends and the Mavens, but for the success of this site and each of you that continue to log in and care about what we have to say.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
