Here in the United States, we are celebrating Thanksgiving today and along with it comes an opportunity for us all - 
regardless of what corner of the world you call “home” - to reflect on the things in our life that we are grateful for. I’ve spent the past few hours reflecting and reading emails from our friends and colleagues around the world expressing similar sentiments and the heartfelt messages are pretty powerful.
It struck me as I’ve been reading all of the holiday greetings that so many of you are feeling the same “attitude of gratitude,” but are without a means to share it with the rest of the world! Initially, I was planning on writing a summary of what so many of you have shared with me, but I’m not sure I could do it justice. Your words are simply too powerful for me to paraphrase.
So I’ve decided to create this post so you can tell the world - right here, in your own words - exactly what you have to be thankful for today. This is your opportunity to give thanks and declare your gratitude below. Please leave a comment and tell us all about it! This is Powerful and you just never know who’s life you may touch in the process…

After facing serious personal difficulties, my consciousness has now developed towards an attitude of sincere gratitude. So many valuable aspects in life that I simply considered “for granted” before, now appear to me as true blessings from the Universe. Then, I truly give thanks today, for the possibility of having a new positive attitude towards life. THANKS UNIVERSE !!!
Thanks for it all
I thank you Lord
I thank you Lord
I thank you for it all
All of the mercy, all of thr grace, all of the
love that comes shining from your face.
All of the goodness, blessings great and small,
I give you thanks, I give you thanks,
I give you thanks for them all. Troy H Dobyns
Hi Greg and Stephanie,
Thankful…for so many things.
My family is healthy, we have two wonderful children and a beautiful grandson, we had safe travel home of a 5 day driving trip through the US, we have a large and happy family to celebrate Thanksgiving with today, our children are happy, we have clothes on our back and food on our table. We have been blessed beyond measure by the Good Lord above.
We are also thankful for our friends online across the world who have become a part of our daily lives, enriching us, teaching us, and actually caring about us. Thanks to all.

Hmmm, well this is a real nice thing to think of Stephanie. While I’m a Canadian, and we celebrate Thanksgiving on a different date I’d like to respond anyhow.
I’m very grateful first off that my loved ones and myself have their health for the most part. There has been a few scares this past year but, God has decided to allow us to continue on and the outcomes have been on the favorable side as compared to what they could have been.
I’m very grateful that this past year I have met so many amazing people in the internet marketing industry as well, some of whom have become very good friends. All of these people are such an inspiration in life and learning. It’s a pleasure to know them.
I hope that everybody has a great year ahead of them!
Thanx for letting me share.

To My Family: Greg, Marina & Morgan - you are the center of my world and I have been blessed beyond words at the joy you bring each and everyday to my life.
As a husband Greg, your love and support is unmatched and all that we accomplish is a result of you being by my side in strength and devotion. Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for the bond that we share and the life we have co-created!
Marina - My dear little grown up lady… You are far beyond your years and teach me (and many others) life’s lessons every day. You remind me of all that is beautiful in this world with your positive perspectives and never ending faith that ANYTHING is possible. I am thankful to give you all that I have and watch you flourish and grow.
Morgan - My darling free spirit… You brighten every room with your smile and laughter and when I see your perpetual happiness, I am thankful that we’ve given you a life that’s worthy of your exuberance. You’ve never met a stranger and your love for others is a constant reminder of the unconditional love that surrounds us all. Thank you for the light you shine!
To our friends and associates… Our passion is helping you and watching you achieve all that you are capable of attaining. I am thankful that you’ve joined our online family and give us the opportunity each day of the year to impart our knowledge, share our triumphs, and follow us on our journey. YOU are the foundation of our success, and for that we are eternally grateful!
Happy Thanksgiving to One and All!
Much Love,
Stephanie
Stephanie, just read your email and thought I would pop by and post what I’m thankful for.
First and foremost, I am thankful for having another day to spend with my beautiful family. While they all have their little “quirks”, I wouldn’t change them for the entire world. They are wonderful people, each of them, and they are indeed my life. Everything I do, I do for them.
Not many people have such a thing, so I think we should take time out every day, and not just on the holidays, to be thankful that we do have people we love around us to spend our time with. Even if the days don’t seem so great, think about what it would be like if they weren’t there. How different would your life be without the people you love in it?
Secondly, I am thankful for having such a terrific job that allows me to spend as much time with my family as possible. I love my job, even though sometimes I have some “rough patches”, and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world either. I love being my own boss and can only continue to enjoy more of the successes that I have thus far experienced.
Finally, I am so thankful for all the terrific people I’ve met by being an Internet Marketer. I have met some of my dearest friends through Marketing.
I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that this day, and every day are beautiful leaving memories that will last a lifetime.
Happy Thanksgiving Stephanie, and To Everyone!
Tracy Yates
this is such a wonderful way to share!!!
I live with an Attitude of Gratitude every day. I am so grateful for my health, my family, my friends - on and offline, the wonderful folks I’ve had the privilege of connecting with on the internet, my partner tim norton.
I wake up every day and smell the roses and try to share the same feeling with everyone I connect with.
In Sept 2004 I had a series of 4 unexpected and sudden heart attacks in 24 hours. The last one took me out, stopping my heart, while my family stood in the doorway of the emergency room. As I understand by the Grace of God that 4 electric shocks revived me.
The first couple of years I was unsure that I would make it another Spring as cautioned by my doctors but now I am having a 2007 Thanksgiven again this year with my wife of 36 years and 3 wonderful Children and grandchildren.
I have very much to be thankful for and I am greatly blessed to live in one of the greatest countries on planet earth. So this holiday and each and everyone that follows including the warmth of a new Spring is another wonderful, “Dancing in the Rain” Thanksgiven for me. I hope it is for all you also as well as our troops.
God Bless

I am thankful for my family, even though I am far away from them. They are in the US and I am in South Korea. I am also thankful for the opportunity to teach English on lovely jeju Island, for the friends I have found here, and the church. I am thankful for my puppy, a feisty Yorkshire terrier. I am thankful for my computer, the Internet and Internet Marketing, although it makes me want to pull my hair out somedays.
There is no Thanksgiving turkey here, because S. Korea’s Thanksgiving was in October. I have been teaching my kids about the first Thanksgiving in 1620. They have been coloring turkeys, Pilgrims and Indians all week. Have you ever seen a polka dot turkey with sunglasses? Instead of turkey, I had a piece of really delicious chocolate cake. That is something to be thankful for. Kaye Fenley
I am thankful to be alive. I am very thankful for my wonderful husband, family, and good friends. Most days we take things for granted so I try to spend everyday of my life thanking God for all of the good things in my life.
I am thankful for family, friends, salvation through the Messiah and I’m thankful for all the help you’ve been to me Stephanie and Greg!
I am thankful for my wonderful wife, family, and good friends. I try to thank God for all of the good things in my life.
How to observe Thanksgiving
Count your blessings instead of your crosses
Count your gains instead of your losses
Count your joys instead of your woes
Count your friends instead of your foes
Count your smiles instead of your tears
Count your courage instead of your fears
Count your full years instead of your lean
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean
Count your health instead of your wealth
Count on God instead of yourself

Actually, I’m thankful that great minds think alike, Stephanie and Greg! I put this same invitation up on my own blog yesterday at http://kristisayles.name!
I’m thankful for a loving, supportive husband that isn’t afraid to let me spread my wings and try new things in life.
Of course, I’m very thankful for my guys-Jarred, Jason, and Jacob.
Jason and Jacob are mine. Jarred is Terry’s. But they’re ALL ours.
We had another, named Joseph-Josey-but he was in a tragic car wreck a few years ago.
He’s always in our hearts, so I hate to exclude him. He brought lots
of love and laughter into our lives in his short 18 years.
I’m very thankful for my three grandbabies: Aaron, Michael, and
Aryana. I’d be even more thankful if they’d move back to Tennessee
closer to Grandma Kristi! But, they’re coming from New York for
Christmas! Yay! Oh yeah, I’m thankful for their beautiful mom, Skye
and their wonderful caregiver, Sean. He’s a jewel.
I’m always thankful for my mom-who passed away in 1992.
She brought me up to love God and treat people the way I want
to be treated. She was an incredible woman that couldn’t kick
the habit. So she died with heart problems.
My daddy, who’s in a nursing home in Kentucky. Such
a fine man! He had a brain aneurysm and needs your prayers.
My four sisters and two brothers-scattered all over Kentucky
and Texas. I love them all! We have lots of fun at our get togethers!
We had a weinie roast last Friday night! Thanksgiving fun!
I’m ever thankful for my friends. I’ve been teaching at Camden
Elementary School for 13 years and I’ve become close to many.
I dare not name names because I’d hate to leave anyone out!
But, I love you guys and gals!
I’m extremely thankful for my online friends. It’s amazing
how close you can get to someone just through the computer!
When I went to the World Internet Marketing Main Event in
San Francisco, the seminars were amazing, but the most enjoyable
thing of all, was spotting someone that you have been talking to
online and hugging like old friends! There was such a feeling of community
and friendship! Again, I’d hate to name names, but you KNOW who
you are and I love you! It was awesome meet your family, especially. I miss the girls! I just wanted to take them home with me!
I’m thankful to be able to walk.
Many don’t know that I was in a horrible 4-wheeler
wreck July 8, 2004.
I fell off a 15 foot cliff, the bike flipped, my leg
was crushed, and the handlebars landed in my ribs.
Actually, my leg landed around my neck with my toes
dangling by my cheek!
I looked like a pretzel! So, what did I do?
I sang “Amazing Grace” as loudly as I could.
After what seemed like an eternity of spiders and
wasps and pain, an old boyfriend named Tony
heard me singing and rescued me.
I was told to get used to the idea
that I may never walk again.
I didn’t want to get used to that idea.
I didn’t have to.
I have faith in God and in my praying friends
online and offline.
I stayed in the hospital for a month.
Now I have a metal legbone with screws
and twinges of pain
now and then, but hey, I’m walking! I’m thankful!
I’m thankful for all of my online businesses:
http://smartauthor.com, http://talkwithexperts.com,
http://yourchildandyou.com and a few dozen more.
Am I a millionaire? Not yet.
But, God has blessed me abundantly through MUCH more than money.
Don’t believe it? Just read the paragraphs above.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love you guys! Hey, hug the girls for me and pick a date in January to be on my show again!
Hugs,
Kristi
I am grateful to share this world with you.
Here’s a gift for you that you can share with others
that includes beautiful pictures and beautiful music.
May Heaven and Earth Touch Your Heart
Simply Replace “Rose” in the link below with your first
name and be sure to include the (?) mark, then copy
and paste the link in your browser to visit your website.
http://ourspecialcustomers.net/prayers/touch.html?Rose
If you wish to pass this website on to other loved
ones simply change the ?Rose to (? and the name of your
loved one, to make their name appear on the website.
For example let’s say your friend’s name is Mary, then
you would send them the following link:
http://ourspecialcustomers.net/prayers/touch.html?Mary
Then spread a little kindness to others in our world.

I am so thankful for the abundant blessings that God is pouring into my life. I am thankful for my wife and four beautiful children who all love the Lord and honor me. I am truly blessed.
I pray that all of you and your loved ones will become more and more aware of how blessed each of us are and that all of us will continually remind ourselves that there is One who loves us and has His hand upon us in EVERY circumstance and is using EVERYTHING for our ultimate good.
Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings to you and your loved ones.

Stephanie thanks for….well just a big thanks:-)
OK Stephanie have never been open online like this before but what the hey
OK I have never been open online like this before but what the hey
Well I say thanks for being alive for having my senses and for my family
Like many of the people here I had a few health hiccups that started with cancer
That was a doosey but I give thanks because I beat that (for now)
Thank heavens for my war pension as my career went the way of the dodo Heheh
Following more operations than I care to mention and several bits being removed Heheh
I like Lanny had a few heart stoppers however thanks to those paddles I am still here So I give thanks for being alive unfortunately I was left without my cognitive abilities on the last one so no talking walking all that stuff wow that was Scary with determination most of it is back
Just a few remnants in the mental abilities I give thanks then, for my senses.
I give thanks to my Family this includes all of you my wife children friends and acquaintances for so many reasons and because I can haha
Ok I will stop here with the health stuff because throughout this experience I have learned that one persons bad is not any worse than any others it is still bad so
I look for the good in things and so should we all.
Whilst living yes living through the above I finished my second degree started on line earned some money lost it then earned some again had two more heart attacks
Hence me loosing it again heheh and now I am back again like a bad Penney I keep turning up because success is a journey not a destination (someone famous quote)
I am not what one would call religious in the church sense however, whoever
comes to you when darkness falls and all seems like a nightmare in life
You know it, we all do. That one thing that makes a difference in our hearts and lifts us back up to face the day, whatever you call it say thanks to it for being there.
So thanks God for being there
I am very grateful for my family and friends, and am becoming more mindful of sharing my gratitude with them as often as I can. It can be easy to get lost in the day-to-day busy-ness, but in the end, it comes down to how we have expressed love, joy, gratitude and the recognition of our Oneness - each day - and with each person we come into contact with. I am so blessed in so many ways! Much love and gratitude to you all!
I am thankful for a chance to spend some time with part of my family I don’t get to see often. A chance to see grandkids we don’t get to see often.
Everyone needs to be thankful for families!
From the South,
Ya”ll have a Happy Thanksgiving
Carlton “Doc” Holliday
I am very grateful for my family. I have a very loving and open relationship with my partner and two daughters. I also have a very loving relationship with my extended family. I am very grateful for all my achievements, on the personal, social and career level. As a Filipina migrant in The Netherlands I feel that I have achieved a lot. For this I am very thankful for. I am also very grateful for my relationship with God. I feel God’s presence everyday of my life, and I know that He takes care of me and my family. For all these I am very thankful for. For more information about myself visit my website at www.kalayaan.biz
I am thankful everyday since I have come to know that all the treasures that I seek are stored up in my mind.
I know now that without my thinking abilities, I will not be able to create, therefore, the mind to me is the most important gem I could ever posses.
Mind tells me what was, what is, what is not, and what is yet to become according to the will of the most pure part of it/aka the true god/love/the original mind who at the beginning formed word/intelligence and began creating all things, judging them and saying: It is good!
I am thankful that the foundation of all things is love
yet, today will be a yesterday tomorrow.
And Love stays exactly what it is, Love
If I should follow Love’s likeness
that comes first in the form of inspired expressions,
I shall leave the world’s geniouses behind and become EXTRAORDINARY!
Much peace!
Marsha Anderson
What I am Thankful for:
I am thankful that I have a wonderful wife, Grace.
She is my inspiration everyday. Without her I would be
lost.
I am thankful for our little dog, Lady. She is
our constant companion.
I am thankful for the many friends that I have met on
the Internet this year. Some have been very helpful in
getting he started on the right track with my Internet
Marketing.
I am 74 years young, so I am thankful for everyday that
God sees fit to let me have another to try and do what
I should do with that day.
I am thankful that I have been able to help a few people in their efforts on the Internet. I hope I will be able to help many more.
I am thankful for people like Stephanie, Greg, Marina &
Morgan. Though Stephanie’s writing, I feel that I know
them personally.
I am thankful that they gave me a place to say all these things.
There are so many more things that I am thankful for, but I have taken too much room on this blog already.
In South Africa we have some utterly meaningless holidays. What a good idea, to have a day on which you can reflect and show gratitude, for what we do have, rather than the daily strife and hardships, so often encountered in everyday life.
We are grateful for our loving family and for friends, for health, for our faculties, for opportunity, for God’s love, for a roof over our heads, for a warm bed, for a full tummy, we are thankful to be alive!
Hello Stephanie, Greg and family,
and to all out there all the readers that is I am thankful for my life my world my husband and soon to be adopted 12 year old son from South Africa.

Hi Stephanie, Greg, Marina, Morgan and everyone else,
I am thankful for the simple things - health and happiness; My family and friends.
It doesn’t matter what else happens, as long as I have these four things, life is great.
I truly believe that if you maintain a positive outlook, the universe will provide.
For all in the US, Happy Thanksgiving Giving.

Thanks for thinking of us Stephanie, I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season!
God Bless
First to all reading I want to say I wish everyone of you the most fantastic life that I know you are all capable of, I am most grateful for being here on thanksgiving, There was a time that I missed all the holidays we had due to a JOB, I owe a lot to my fantastic family that made the sacrifices so I could now be home over a year now, Thanksgiving last year was the first holiday we had after my freedom, and will always be special to us.
I know those times were not the greatest, but in the last year we were able to make that time almost a forgotten memory. I tell you this to give you the belief that you can do whatever you want in life, in business or whatever your dream is. Take that positive thought of how things will be, the things you are grateful for and the ones you love that you are doing this for and make that you reason for doing what ever it is you chose.
As for Stephanie, Marina and Morgan, I am always thankful, the love I have for them goes far beyond what words could begin to describe. We have a life that most people don’t know is an option, we have from the beginning had a very simple business goal, to make every thing we do in our life a choice of what we want to do and where we want to do it based on desire and passion, not on what we can do based on the money available. Reaching that goal and teaching that way of life to our girls makes every thing we did to get there worth it.
I will share a secret with you here , if you treat everyone around you like this every day of your life, by being Grateful, Supportive and showing them the love and belief you have in them, it will have an impact on you and all those around you, If you can learn how to live life like this every day of the year, there is nothing you can not accomplish, the affect this will have on your life as well as those around you will be life changing, the world as in the part that is most important to you is totally controlled by you. So make the biggest difference that you can by sharing your love, Support and belief in others to all those that come into your life every day of the year.
Mommy is typing what we are thankful for:
Morgan: My doggie Sweets, and my 2 kittys Joy and Sabrina; I am thankful that you gave us our own computer, and I Love, Daddy, Mommy and Marina. I am thankful for Paulie, Scottie, Uncle Ross, Manny, Joe & Jackie, my buddy Sal, and lots more… and I’m thankful for Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer!
Marina: I am thankful for our cats, and that Sweets is not a “real” dog, just Morgan’s imaginary friend; I am thankful Mommy & Daddy work at home and teach me everything they know, and I love my whole family! I love meeting friends around the world. I am also thankful for all the people Morgan said, and also Tahir, Julius, Richelo, and Robert Puddy! I am thankful that we did all the cooking this year with Mommy, expecially the apple pies. And just remember… YOU CAN DO IT!
Love Marina & Morgan
Hi everybody,
Like many others who have posted here I am grateful to be here, to be alive, to be able to enjoy the sunshine and another day. I live in Australia and we don’t have Thanksgiving. An “attitude of gratitude” is very important. I am also thankful that I can live according to my values, can express them and teach them. I am grateful for my family, my husband and my wonderful son who inspires me every day with his insights, his “can do” attitude and wisdom beyond his years (he is only 6!).
i don’t live in the U.S but i’m still grateful and thankful that through the internet i have been able to have you and your newsletter come into my life.
your celebration of thanksgiving serves to remind me, and i hope all of us,that Grattitude is still the mother of all virtues.It is so timely in reminding me to keep my grattitude journal going for the next 221 days
peace & love
may it be a most delightful thanksgiving for you and yours
maurice
Thanks Stephanie!
All I have to say right now is that I am thankful to know, and befriend, some of God’s Angel’s on Earth.
That I can dream the biggest dream I can, and God will top it with fresh whipped cream. Amen to that!
That even when I am doubt filled, I am still right on time.
That I am stepping deeper into my truth and power, and being more of myself every day.
And I am blessed to have Cookie Monster as my Divine Team Bliss Manager. He keeps me on the cookie trail.
Blessings InJoy.
Keep following your Cookies everyone!

Ron Donna and family.
Article is very nice.I’m thankful for all positive changes that the Universe is bestowing upon me. I’m thankful to be alive, and for all the great experiences I’ve had in my life. I’ve grown from all of them.
I’m thankful for a lot of things, but right now top of the list is simply being here.
Two weeks ago I had a miraculous escape from what would almost certainly have been a fatal car wreck. My car, parked beside a busy road, was rolling slowly backwards down a slope towards fast on-coming traffic - and I was standing right behind it.
I’m not very big, and there’s no way I have the strength to halt a moving car against the law of gravity, but I pushed with all my might and prayed aloud.
It wasn’t a sophisticated prayer, at all - more of an instinctive cry to the Lord for help - but it was heard. Only inches from the traffic, the car stood still.
Seconds later three vehicles swept by, so close to each other that if the first had struck my car the others couldn’t have avoided hurtling straight into the wreckage.
I still find it hard to get used to the fact that it happened, but I’m very, very thankful that it did.
