Hi Folks,

Happy Thanksgiving!

We all should be thankful for the things we have and the people in our lives....

I am also thankful that our busisness is doing ok in this economey. I am also lucky to be away in my bus.

As I type this, yes, we are enjoying our first Thanksgiving away from home.. Visiting friends in Virginia.

Have a great Holiday!

I am thankful for a wonderful family. Despite this being the worst summer a family can ever imagine, we are surrounded by people who care and love us. Without their support we cannot imagine how we could survive. We are grateful for a free country, grateful for those men and women who are fighting to protect our liberty.

I am also thankful for a constant reminder of how short life can be. May each of us, stop what we are doing at this very moment, walk up to those we care about and tell them how much we love them.  I am thankful that happens constantly in my life today.

Grant

I'm thankful for a small family. The only family I have is my mother, grandma, and aunt and frankly never cared much for family gatherings and wonder how some people with huge families can stand having so many people running around the house. But I do love and appreciate them just the same.
I am thankful that Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior. I am thankful that I'm an American. President Obama is not who I want in office but, we have the power to do something about that in 2 years. That is a freedom that most other nations are lacking.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!  There is much difficulty in life that sometimes causes us to overlook the many blessings.  But if we look for the good, there are truly so many things to be thankful for.  I hope that each of you has a plentiful helping of good food and loving family tomorrow.  And if anyone doesn't have family to be with, or can't be with them right now, I hope and pray that you will go join some friends in their celebration.

My family has taught me to be thankful for the little things....... things I used to take for granted. Life is very precious and fragile. I am thankful to be healthy and alive because I can still mend the error of my ways. I am thankful to be able to tie my shoes by myself, to be able to walk or run or ride a bike, be able to know when I am hungry and what that feeling means as well as to satisfy it, etc.  LOTS of stuff Im thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving Busnuts!!

I have sooo many blessings to be thankful for that I don't even know where to begin... There is my family, friends, and health to name a few. We all should be thankful for our freedom that we so often take for granted and thankful for the men and women who have fought for this freedom. Also in this bad economy, I am thankful to still have my home, job, autos, and plenty to eat. Wishing each and everyone of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

The biggest thing I'm thankful for is that I bought my bus several years before I heard about the board, if I had bought my bus then looked for advice on how to do the work that I did, I would never have gotten any work done, because we all know it can't be done that way.  Another thing I'm thankful for, are my years in law enforcement, it taught me to spot a fake almost instantly, it also taught me to appreciate honesty and genuineness and helped me create some friendships here that mean a great deal to me.  I'm thankful for the diverse group of people I enjoy, they range from musicians, to engineers, to bus drivers, to retired parametics, to single medics to doctoral candidates, to the instructors of the ones that are being studied.  I'm thankful for family and my country, I'm thankful for the right to speak my mind and then the right to tell someone else to shut up.

We are on the road this Thanksgiving, currently high in the pines in Ruidoso New Mexico, up abouty 8,000 ft.  I am so thankful that the other day coming over the pass (6.5%) that when the bus went down to first lock down, we made it over the top!

I have learned in my later years, to be thankful, for just about anything.

I'm thankful I'm not a turkey.  I had a vegetarian turkey once. I couldn't tell the difference. I don't think they eat that much meat  anyway. Gobble till you wobble. Happy Thanksgiving...Cable

Just when I think it is bad, I see someone incapacitated in a wheel chair.  I'm thankful of having all 10 of my fingers, a body and brain that works relatively well, a very loving wife (that I also love dearly), an extended family that has no real drama, a job that is doing well, living in the best country in the world, having a warm and dry roof over my head, etc.  I think we loose site sometimes when we get obsessed over owning more things.  Just being on the sunny side of the grass is thankful enough.  Good Luck, TomC

A year of no serious illnesses, no lost loved ones, a good roof and a full pantry.  Life is good.

How could I have missed that! Ditto! Only I'm Vegan. But I'm very thankful not to be one of the 45 million slaughtered for today. And I'm thankful to make cookies and be able to lick the bowl without fear of salmonella!

I'm thankful I still have a job working in an industry that has seen job losses exceeding 50% and still shrinking a bit.  My dept is 1/3 the size it was 10 years ago.  I'm lucky that several of my co-workers left voluntarily so I won't be laid off any time soon.

I'm also thankful I will be able to attend the final Bussin' rally.

I am thankful also that we have a job that is going strong in this economy. Also for my hubby, who is hands down the best, for all my family, and yes for all you bus nuts. Met several of you this year. Become good friends with a couple of them. Thankful for our military that make our lives possible, Thankful for God and all his blessings.
