On this thanksgiving day I'd like to say I'm thankful for my family. My father's side at least... my mother's side of the family is all a bit distant, but my father's side is really tight. We like to get together for family dinners, family breakfast, whatever.
Dad came down from Kentucky last night and he will be here until Sunday!
Of course we don't really need an excuse like thanksgiving to get together. Sometimes uncle Fred or uncle Brent or someone will just call their siblings up and say "Hey I've got (insert food here) cooking, come on over."

That's pretty crummy. Are you and your family (dad and siblings) going to have your own Thanksgiving dinner instead? I hope so. Don't let their lack of hospitality ruin the day for you.

Glad you're going to have your own family thing.
My family used to get together as in sibilings but this year, my Brother is at Disney world, my Sister wanted to go out to dinner, my Mom and Step Dad were supposed to go to Boston to visit my Sister but the weather's going to get bad so instead of coming to us, I invited them, they're going to stay home. I am making dinner at my Mother in laws for five people. It's sad, Thanksgiving used to be such a big family day.

This isn't the first holiday i've been set aside by people who you thought would want to be with you. Likely won't be the last time.
One time, when i lived in CA, and my only friend was my girlfriend of 8 years and she just disappeared that day, 'busy' doing who knows what. Didn't even hear from her til evening and she still didn't want to get together. I was living in my car then, so i spent the day sitting in my car in a grocery store parking lot because there was no where else to go. So yeah... i've had worse.

I'm spending today alone..just me and the cat.. while my parents and sister go out to dinner for Thanksgiving..my mom's excuse for not asking me to go also: "I know you don't like going out to eat so I didn't ask you." :/... fortunately I prefer to be alone anyway so it's all good, but STILL, it would've been nice to be asked to go, even if i did turn down the invite.. oh well, such is life.. #NOT the end of the world
Happy Thanksgiving (to those who celebrate.. and the rest).
Daniel, who learned a law was just decreed in the nation that praying to God will have him thrown in a lion's den, went into his upper floor, opened windows, facing Jerusalem, knelt down, prayed and gave THANKS to God just like he's been doing it, three times a day.
There's something about giving thanks to God - not only acknowledging and reminding us that He is our SOURCE, not one's ability to make living, etc - but also allows us to put our trust and rely on Him in situation where it seems there's nothing to be thankful for, seeing beyond the situation, acknowledging it is God who's in control, not the situation.
Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, I wanna take this day to thank God, reminding myself again that I need to be thankful. I am really thankful for my parents (I realized very recently they are the biggest blessing in my life), for having a wonderful job, working for and with wonderful people, and for my Dad who cares about me, providing all my needs in His glorious riches. Amazing God. Simply amazing.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Well, I just got a call from my sister. My dad's on his way to the hospital, having trouble breathing. Apparently he went outside to shovel snow and when he went inside the house, couldnt breathe so my mom called 911.. now I get to sit here and worry until i get an update.. I put this in prayer requests also, but please pray for my dad. He has previously had a heart attack.. thanks.

Update: I just got word that my dad has some pulmonary edema, and will be at CVH definitely overnight, and may be moved to Burlington to Fletcher Allen hospital. He may end up needing heart stents. For now, he is comfortable and wearing oxy to help him breathe..
