psipike02 0 #1 November 20, 2007 I wanted to see what everyone else might be thankful for.. I'm thankful for more than a few things: 1. God for putting me here in CO and waking me up everyday. 2. My job. I still can't believe i'm in the real world working and having actual responsibility. I like what I do, and I feel like my life is heading in the right direction. Even though I hate paying bills, having the ability and money to pay them, still amazes me. 3. My family. They're amazing and even though I have no family in Colorado whatsoever, they still make the effort to make sure I feel loved and they haven't forgotten about me. Without their support, I wouldn't be here. 4a. My Colorado friends. They've made me feel more than welcomed and have helped me get acclimated to living out here, esp. with no family. 4b. My Michigan/Graduating friends. Even though we are now miles apart, when we meet, its as if we never skipped a beat. Especially this past weekend back in Michigan when an OSU fan decided to call me the n-word and having 10 of my friends back me up and defend me. 5. My health and those I've taken advice from personally and on here as well too. You know who you are....thank you.Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbordson 8 #2 November 20, 2007 Love, Friendship and Challenges. Things that make you realize how important life truly is. Stories to tell around the campfire. Things to make you appreciate the adventure that life truly is. Deep breaths... the kind that fill your lungs and make you realize how simple life truly is. Life... how it just truly is.

livendive 8 #3 November 20, 2007 I'll thankful for the hot water and heat that will be turned on tomorrow in the house (also thankful for) that my girlfriend (also thankful for) and I are moving into today. I'm also thankful for the cable that will be turned on tomorrow so we can enjoy some football with the friends (also thankful for) coming over for food and drinks (also thankful for) on Thursday. I'll also be thankful for my family and friends, both current and departed, and in general terms, the great life I have. Here's hoping all of you can find similar reasons to appreciate the great things in your life. On that note, I'm even thankful to know some of you. Jeez, I'm one thankful motherfucker.

dfairleigh11 0 #25 November 21, 2007 1. Family. 1a. My A license, courtesty of some good instruction from Jordan and Neil and a little luck. 2. When I get them soon, my brand spankin new rig and jumpsuit - and the rest of my gear I've already got. 3. That cancer didn't kill me, and I didn't kill myself falling out doors and off steps at high altitudes. 4. Good friends, good food, good booze, and great memories of falling very fast watching accelerated sunsets. 5. Wonderful memories of the 10 friends that won't be with us when we celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's, or when the weather clears up enough to get some good jumping in again."We'll start the ass kissing with you" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
