I thank you for letting me express my self in my writing. I thank you for allowing me to share my story to the world. i thank my husband for being their and my children for never giving up on me.

Well, I have two respectful children and I had two loving husbands and so I guess I’m in good health, and my family were healthy, so I guess that’s why I was.

I’m grateful for so many things. I give thanks for a happy family life. Good friends. A fairly reasonable work environment.

I’m most thankful for the fact that I had my wife. For 62 years she was a wonderful woman. The next thing I’m thankful for my children. That’s about it.

The only thing I would add is that almost anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Decide what you want to achieve and then figure out how you will achieve it.

I am grateful for my life and the people that are in it. I’m grateful for family, and for friends. I am blessed, so blessed. I’m grateful for bad decisions that turned out OK. I’m grateful that John has retired from a job that was giving him headaches.

I’m grateful that I’m alive. I have a great life. I’m thankful that I’m not dead. I’m thankful that I’m not in jail. One of my friends just spent twenty years in jail and he has another seven years to go in the Federal pen, and that could have been me. So I never lose that gratitude.

I am grateful to my folks for giving me this piece of land.

I’m grateful for my family, my home and my health. For my age I have very good health. The fact that I had good parents and was able to get an education…I’m just proud of the fact that I have been able.

Well, I think I am basically thankful for my family and all of the various peoples that I’ve met and associated with. Everybody doesn’t think alike, so it’s easy to pick an argument. Other than that, I don’t know.

I’m grateful for my health. I blink my eyes like I was ten years old, but now I’m 57. I’m grateful for the people around me. I’m grateful I didn’t go to Vietnam. I’m grateful for smart parents. There’s a lot to be grateful for. I’m thankful for "what is" rather than “what else?”

I am grateful to be alive this year; I had heart problems a year ago. I am grateful for my family back east. I am grateful for a lot of things.

I’m thankful for my family and all the friends that we have.

I’m thankful for my young wife, of course.  She keeps me young.  I’m thankful for my boys, and all my friends who have made me what I am today.

I enjoy life a lot; the music.

My parents were very liberal and very interested in culture.  I think it’s important to learn as much as you can.
