I am thankful to you all. I never knew how much a noble community could be of such aid.
Thank you all.
Now have a Safe Thanksgiving all of you.
I am thankful for more than I could ever list here, but most importantly for life itself and all who share this time and space with me. Both are an exceptional gift for which I am not worthy, but my God has seen fit to bless me with them.
Happy Thanksgiving to my FAOL Family.
Joe
I am thankful for life and all the wonderful people, family and extended family, including my fellow FAOLers, who are so much a part of the life with which God has blessed me.
God Bless & keep you all.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Mike
I'm thankful for my wife and son, that I live in a country where I'm free to worship and those who disagree with me are free to do so without fear of reprisal, I'm thankful that I have reasonably good health, I'm thankful that I still have a job, I'm thankful for every day I get to fish, I'm thankful for all of my friends and for the generosity so many on FAOL have shown. Most of all, I'm thankful for every breath the Lord allows me to take.
Jeff
I'm thankful to have another day above ground, a good dog, cold beer, a warm place to sleep, loose shoes and many memories of trout filled days this past season.
I started a thread on Monday, 11-24 entitled THANKFUL thinking I would get this started. I guess I was too early. Only had 1 reply so I'll copy and paste my gratitude list here. Oh, and now I'm thankful for the rain we are finally getting here in my desert. Jim :-P

After reading Ladyfisher and Mr. Travis' articles today I'm inspired to ask other FAOL readers: What are you thankful for?"
As for me I am thankful for my God, my wife, my home and my new fly rod. I'm thankful gas is below $2.00 a gallon for now. I
am thankful I found FAOL and the like-minded fishing people who support it. I am thankful for my family and friends.
I am thankful that I am retired and can go fishing when I want. Jimsnarocks

There is not enough room here for me to list what I am Thankful For!
God Bless and Keep All!
Yesterday a local talk radio show asked the same question, but the caveat was that you could not use "Faith, Family, Job, or Country".
Of course I'm thankful for the above, but I was on my way home from fishing. The three I came up with were:
1) Brook Trout
2) Gore Tex Waders
3) India Pale Ale
Sorry if it's shallow, but the three above have combined to relieve stress and make me happy that I'm alive for the past three years.
It's been a rough year...
1 - I'm thankful for this land we live in, that most people take for granted...
2 - I'm thankful to have known the two men in my life that I lost this summer - my Dad and my Father-in-law... I only wish I could have learned more from them....
3 - I'm thankful for my wife and my family... I don't deserve them...
4 - And I'm thankful for those men and women serving our great nation... who put country before self... and are serving away from home so that we can appreciate number 1 above...
Comfortable shoes and a warm place to go to the bathroom
:shock:
For the many blessings that my Heavenly Father has bestowed upon me.

Hi All,
I am thankful for God blessing me beyond anything I will ever deserve or expect.
I am thankful that today the whole family is here with us for a few days, both daughters, their husbands, and our first grandchild, three month old Tallis. Tallis is pretty much the center of attention a good part of the time. Wife Donna is really taking to this grandmothering stuff big time.
Our kids both turned out well, our son in laws are both good men and have good jobs. Both son in laws are engineers, as is our younger daughter, and our older daughter is a lawyer. All graduated from college with honors.
God is so good to me. Yesterday I went fishing for the second time in what for me is a long time dream, (I seem to have rather small dreams), but it is an aluminum jon boat that came my way late this summer. (Didn't have any strikes and no fish, but it was a wonderful afternoon.)
Regards,
Gandolf
I am thankful for each day the Lord gives me - for a life that has been greatly blessed with family and friends including my FAOL friends.
My prayer is that each of you have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Just three for starters:
My immediate family

The best mom on the planet. (OK, I'm a little biased.)

It is so hard to answer this without "my health" and "my family" and so on. What else really is there? :confused:
I am thankful for my family, My Health, My Country, and that after three months of camping I am in a House, with Internet, and that I can once again regularly read FAOL.
Eric
I'm thankful for the upcoming changes in political leadership.
Eric -
Glad you're back. Don't know if you noticed, but your post is #777.
Trust the move well went, in spite the camping ??
John
Getting back to this thread - health, heart, and home. You all figure in there somewhere.
I am thankful for my health, family, and friends and also that I survived all the food yesterday.
Doug
"Trust the move well went, in spite the camping ??"
John, I spent the last three months in a campground owned by the LDS Church, a real nice facility. The move went fine just took a while to find a house that I could live with that I could afford. I made offers on three houses before I actually bought the Fourth kept getting there just a little late.
Eric
A family that not only tolerates, but shares my love of fly fishing, a warm home, good food, and being able to wake up each day and still walk, fly fish, and see the beauty !!!
