So, with Thanksgiving comming up, what are you thankful for ?

Even with all my personal/physical problems, I still thank God every day that I am able to fish (once in a while). I have a new grandson (haven't seen him yet but thats another long sad story). Things can only get better.
I've been invited to my step-nephew's and his wifes place in Marlboro with my brother, sis-in law and my mum and dad. I'm sure we will do alot of "fish talk" over the bird.

I'm thankful to be alive so I can share the holidays with friends and family. May sound basic to some but it took me 49 years to figure it out.

My girlfriend, parents, fishing buddies(the only friends I have), my job, and the roof over my head.

I'm also thankful for:

The stash of Mac plugs I put together the past few months.
Bernzy Howdies
Hab's Needles, Pencils and Poppers
Beachmasters
Eelpunt Swimmers
Tom D swimmers
LI.fish.VT needles and Darters
booger patriot needles and his old dannies
R.M. Smith
Surf Asylum
atom 40's
bombers and red fins and even mombos
Afterhours Needlefish and Spooksters and maybe even sliders and swimmers
H'islander swimmers
Super Strike sinking poppers and darters
Tattoo Swimmers and Pups
BigFish Pencils
Bassmaster Needles
I'm sure there is more.

I'm also thankful for this site. I met alot of cool people this year and had some memorable fishing experiences as a result of it. This time last year I knew maybe 3 guys on here.

I'm grateful for my family and friends and that I can enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner with them in the spot of the Pilgrim's very first days in the New World. Here is where they landed, right there is where the Mayflower was moored, they found corn on that hill, etc. It's a true wonder to me, really.
