I am thankful for a lot of things, but this year in I am thankful for my new little girl. Never thought something so small could have such a huge impact on my life. As I have gotten older and especially this year, I have learned to appreciate the things I have and am trying to be more mindful how truly blessed I am.

What about y'all?
 
Not much I can say I’m not thankful for. But my sister has almost made a full recovery after almost dying and being in the neuro ICU for 3 months. My father is still around after a pretty massive heart attack. I’m able to walk again after being immobile for almost 2 months after a misdiagnosed femoral hernia. And lastly, just had another healthy baby girl.
 
So much... so very much. I survived a heart attack and have recovered well. I have a wonderful wife whom I love dearly, and she takes pretty darn good care of me. In addition, two fine sons, and four grandkids. My life is content, and complete. Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
 
Me and my families health. So many folks suffering, just blessed.
 
My family. My health. A great employer. A loving Creator who makes all of it possible.
Many blessings, a few friends, and another year.

Oh and my e-friends here at NC4x4. Especially @Jody Treadway @trailhugger @jeepinmatt @Paul and a bunch more Im probably forgetting.
I'm even thankful for @marty79 and @Atla who I give shit to and take from as well.

And boobies. I'm eternally grateful for Boobies.
 
Cool, thanks @Ron appreciate that man.
I'm thankful for the blessed life I have: Adopted from a third world country and given a chance to be something bigger and better.
Threw that away at my young life but God gave me another chance (a BIG HUGE chance) to live and been clean for 18 yrs now!!!
Been Married to the Most Wonderful Wife for 15yrs, have an awesome daughter, tried my best as a young step dad to 4 others, and still have pretty good health!! Those are my top thankful list!!

This year I guess I'm more grateful for the fact that little over a year ago I finally stopped receiving food stamps and such. YEIIIIIII!! I have been wanting to get off that for long time but just didn't have the means but just over a year now, we are doing well without it and I'm super grateful to make enough money for not only our own food but still have extra for wife and daughter each paycheck. That to me is really awesome accomplishment! Thank you Jesus
Happy Blessed Thanksgiving to yall. Safe travels to everyone and peace be with you all.
 
I cannot think of a single thing that I'm not thankful for at this point in my life. The mistakes I've made have helped to make me who I am. As terrible as they may have been at the time it's those experiences that teach. Without a doubt my wife and kids. I never thought that all of them could make me as happy as I am. I'm thankful for my job and the ability to do it. Moving to TN was a big step for us and it's been nothing but good. We're in a better place, I have less stress, my little girl is happy in her new school, taxes are lower, the cost of living is lower and we're able to afford things I didn't think we could. I'm thankful for BTL and the gang. I'm glad to see them getting older and starting to drink. Years ago I was the only drunkard running around camp chasing skunks and blasting music. Now Robby's laid up under tables giggling like a school girl and feeling like death the next day. Also, I'm thankful Jody starting gaining some weight. You've recovered well ;) Lastly, I'm thankful I'm still around to experience it all. I was adopted so I don't really know my family history. However, the dad I had met his first open heart surgery when he was 38. He battled heart disease, diabetes and neuropathy the rest of his life. I'm happy that beyond a few aches and pains and my thinning hair, I'm still able to take it all in.

I might also be thankful for you bunch of assholes but the jury's still out :flipoff2:
 
Not much, as said above, that I am not thankful for. But to be a little more specific......and, no certain order.
My kids
My grand kids
My dogs, yeah truly thankful for them. If I didn't have them here I'd be all alone and talking to the walls fixtures and so on.
Coffee
Although my health isn't the best, and getting around can sometimes be pure hell, I do still get around, which is a lot better than some.
Even though I lost my Mom this year, I am thankful for having her for as long as I did. I am thankful that I spent the last week of her life, with her everyday for 12-14 hours.
I lost my step dad, he also had lived a really good long life. I am thankful for the companionship he give my Mom.
I am very thankful for my friends. Even though I am friendly with hundreds, I have a smaller group of guys I know would be there if I had a great need.
I am also very thankful for the work and upgrades I was able to have done to my home.
I am thankful for my club and groups of friends I get to wheel with. They, we, seem to always amaze new comers with the comradery that we share. Any issues, always multiple people jump in to get things back right, or as right as they can be depending on the situation.
With as much time as I spend sitting on my ass because of some debilitating issues, I am also very thankful for Netflix, NC4X4, and yeah, even Facebook.
I am a simple man, but for me it's all the many small things that humble me.
For all these afore mentioned things and people...……. I am truly thankful!

I wish everyone a great thanksgiving, and a wonderful Christmas!
 
I’m thankful for just about everyone,everything around me... and NC4x4 of course!
 
- My wife, son and myself being healthy
- My wife changed jobs after 11 yrs with the same company. She was very unhappy with her old job. She is now home before dinner ever night, and much happier.
 
Being given this life to live by the one who gave his son for me

An amazing wife/best friend

Healthy kids that contribute to society and dont sit around in a diaper and expect the world to take care of them

Generous friends that cheer for the success of others, that give without expectations of recieving, and truly care

Mom surviving cancer

Ex wife and mother of my kids surviving cancer

A warm house

Canned cranberry sauce
 
Furthermore:
GM products, mom surviving breast cancer, dad surviving drug and alcohol addictions, my sister for being a terrific parent to both of my little nieces, my brothers at work and abound, military and law enforcement for sticking tight with the conservative way of life and keeping this wonderful country what it is.

God bless you sir! Even though we have many more adventures that may lie ahead, your last visit was short, but very enjoyable. You are welcome to stop by Stuyck company anytime you wish!
 
I'm thankful for the same things that drive me crazy. New job, new kid, new house under construction, old kid, old wife, old truck, old house, stupid people, Trump, Santa Clause, and @Paul. I'm also thankful that @shawn married @trailhugger so that she could raise kids and keep the board running right while he's out restoring a piece of crap backhoe. I'm not thankful for @Ron because he never returns my calls, and I'm not thankful for @CasterTroy because he has more likes than I do, and I'm especially not thankful for @braxton357 because he has more excavators than me.

It's been a crazy year for many of the reasons listed above, but a lot of the "difficulties" of this year will pay dividends in the years to come.

I'm also thankful to have been born into a good life in arguably one of the greatest times in the greatest countries in the history of the world. I have food and heat, and stress out about so many first world problems that its embarrassing. I'm thankful that our second baby didn't require the $30k worth of IVF that the first one did, and that they are both happy and healthy and take after their mother.

I am thankful for having an amazing family, wonderful girlfriend, cool dog and great friends.

Also to those here that tolerate my crazy ass.
