Thanksgiving thoughts

Well, Thanksgiving has passed for another year. We had all the fixings at MIL's house, and got to see family members we haven't seen in a while; then off to my mom's house, where we had sandwiches, finger foods and a veggie tray, which was a very nice change. It's hard to eat two big meals in a day, especially when you're not used to it.
It was good to see everyone, but we missed a lot of loved ones... hubby's daughter couldn't come because her husband was on call and couldn't leave the base. She's missed seeing him the last two Thanksgivings, so we certainly understood why she wanted to stay home with him. She's a good daughter, mom and wife and we're proud of her. My daughter's family spent the day with her honey's family, so we missed seeing them too, but we understand - it's hard to get everywhere, when there's such an extended family to see.
Hubby's son and his wife came, but their kids were all visiting other relatives, and my older son is back overseas, so we missed about half of our family. It's tough having a blended family, and even more tough during the holidays.
But we have lots to be thankful for - our grandchildren are healthy and happy, they have good parents and good homes, they're intelligent and they're being raised by responsible people.
My husband's mother and both my parents are still living, and they're all in reasonably good health;while they may have problems from time to time, they have a good quality of life, and we all live near enough to see them often.
Hubby and I both enjoy life and have lots of interests to keep up going - besides our immediate family, our church family always has things going on, and of course our riding friends are ALWAYS up to something!
Last but not least, we're thankful that we live in a country where we've got to right to speak our minds, and to believe as we wish, whether it suits someone else or not.
What are YOU thankful for?
