The other day, a friend sent me a message through Facebook, asking what am I most thankful for. I responded that I was thankful for my wife of three months and our overall health.
I could have been all down about being unemployed, but instead I focused (and want to continue to focus) on the positive. There is no doubt that the last three months have been rough, but I expect that to turn around very soon.
After I answered her question, I got to thinking and wondering what others are thankful for. So I posted the question as my status on Facebook and twitter. What I found was that overwhelmingly most people were thankful for their families.
Some of the comments on FaceBook were:
My happy healthy family
- Michaelle
Unbeknown to me, my wife even chimed in and said,
my family, my salvation life and of course my handsome husband
- Pat (aka Princess of Thrift) Surbaugh

I want to take time to thank those who contributed to this post. I was surprised by the results, but I must say if the results depict most of society in general, then perhaps there is still hope after all.
So what are you most thankful for?
