I am thankful for my family, for always being there with advice, encouragement, or a simple cup of hot chocolate.

I am thankful for all of my animals, one of which thankfully survived a horrible accident and is doing just fine.

I am thankful for my health, because although it has failed me a few times, I'm around today, and will be for decades to come.

I am thankful for my home, which is warm and filled with laughter.

I am thankful for life, which is something that most people, unfortunately, do not get to live to the fullest.

[ACcountryFan]

Despite the headache it often brings, i am thankful for the job i have.

I am thankful for the on-line friendships i have formed on Claymaniacs.

I am thankful for my humor because life isn't a stroll in the park by any means.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful first of all for my family and friends, and for the good health we all enjoy.  I am also thankful for my Clay family - as I just said on the OCD - Clay would have been enough joy in my life alone - but here all of you are - a bonus! I hope each of you will have a fun day, and I hope you are lucky enough to spend it with those that you love!

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone

I am thankful first and foremost for my family.  I am very fortunate to have two absolutely wonderful sons and five adorable granddaughters.

I am so very thankful for my health.  We don't know what lies ahead but up to this point I have been very lucky.

I am extremely thankful that Clay came into my life.  I had gotten to the point that all I was doing was going to work, come home and wait until the weekends so I could see my son and his family.  Clay has given me the opportunity to have something to look forward to in appearances and concerts and the chance to meet so many wonderful people here at Claymaniacs.  While I have not actually met most of you I sure hope that changes this year.

As hard as it is sometimes, I am also thankful for my job.  This enables me to keep a roof over my head and still have a little left over for Clay trekking.

I wish for everyone of you a very Happy Thanksgiving full of family, friends, good food, health and happiness.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I am thankful for the many challenges that have been placed before me this year because I no longer take each day for granted.   I know I will become a stronger and more compassionate person as a result of this.  I am thankful for my Savior, for my amazing husband and my family and friends who continue to walk beside me through these difficult times.

I am thankful for the miracles of modern medicine, and for my oncologist who is navigating me through this often frightening journey.  He is truly an instrument in the hand of the Lord.

Thanksgiving is a good time to stop (unless you are doing all the cooking!) and think about all our blessings and cherish all our happy memories.

I'm grateful for the friends I've made, the music I've heard, the places I have been, and all the joy I have felt because of Clay.

And most of all, I'm blessed to have a warm and loving family, and so many friends who have brought many different riches to my life.

I hope your Thanksgiving is rich with meaning and blessed with love.

[bisi]

Just have to pop in and say how thankful I am for Michael for this Clay home where I have made so many dear friends.  I will be forever thankful to you and to Pamela and all the people who keep this place up and running every single day.  What would we do without you.

I am also thankful for all my fellow Maniacs -- you are the best of the best!

Happy Turkey Day with love,

Brenda

[clayMaine-iac]

I, too, am thankful for my family, friends, health, home, pets, and all the laughter and joy that comes from them.  I know I am Blessed and that I don't stop to be thankful often enough.

I decided to take a moment to list the "little things" I am thankful for (in random order ):

my computer with DSL
my morning coffee
my SUV that keeps me safe in the Maine winters
my many joys here at Claymaniacs
my gardens and plants
my favorite foods
my favorite TV shows
my enjoyment of a good book to read
and lots, lots more.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

[claymaiden]

I am thankful for the people who have touched my life and made it better.  For the hope in which I belive and for being shown everyday a little bit more why I am here. I am thankful for my pets who are unconditional love, also for Clay and all the music in the world that's beautiful.  Last but Most for Gods grace.

Don't Let "Thankful" mean this to you.

Don't be afraid to share in spirit what you may not have in goods.

Don't stand on the sidelines of life, when what you really want to do is be involved.

Don't take for granted what you have, be proud of what you have gained, and work hard to keep it.


Everyday, I find something, as I get a little bit older. Something I didn't know I had. Something I didn't know I could do. Something I didn't think would be of any importance to anyone else, but me.

I am thankful for lifes joys and actually, for lifes curveballs too.

I have a family I love, friends I adore, people left to meet in my life to learn from and to teach.

I appreciate more now than I ever have at any point in my life.

I am glad- and thankful for-  this site and Clay and the Clay friends that have entered my life.

[Pamela]

I'm thankful for....silliness!

Sorry, just had to share!

So....how many people made pineapple casserole for T-Day dinner?  And do you have supper, lunch or dinner?  I think it's a regional thing, but I'm curious as to the differences in terminology where you live or grew up. Because I'm a geek that way.



 

[KSChristian4Clay]

I'm thankful for my faith, my church, my family, friends and all the Clay Nation.  And the man we all love.

I'm also thankful that we live in a country with so many freedoms and for the men and women that made that possible. I'm also sending a big hug to the families who are missing their loved ones who are serving our country right now. God bless you!  

Pamela - We had our big meal as lunch, but a little later than we usually eat lunch as we had 30+ people for our meal today. And we call it our Thanksgiving Dinner.

[ACcountryFan]

Pamela...don't be sorry Did you see the pic i posted

No casserole's here...but we had the usual items we have every year on Thanksgiving. I slept on and off through the football games, though. I couldn't get into the early game and the Cowboys game later was a blow-out of sorts so it wasn't that interesting...speaking as a non-follower of the teams playing, that is...i know the fans of Dallas loved the game I'd be more glued to the TV if it were my Bengals of Cincinnati playing.

We call it Thanksgiving dinner because it's a dinner...more "formal" you might say than supper, which is what we call the meal in the evening. Lunch is in the afternoon and we all know breakfast is in the morning. Our Thanksgiving meal was at 1pm this afternoon. We had a few of people here...close to 20.
