 One of the traditions at our house each year is for each of us to say what we are thankful for --- of course most comments includes family and jobs --- This year with all that is going on being thankful for our Jobs carrys more weight then usual --- those that have them are very thankful --- they are not easy to come by right now .  Thought it would be interesting to see --- What are you thankful for? I'm thankful for a wonderful patient husband (if you knew my tribe you'd understand why I say that ... Love you Kendall) I'm thankful for a great job - I'm thankful to live in the USA & I'm thankful for my family and great kids. I have a daughter and a son. If I had picked their mates I couldn't have done a better job! I have a beautiful daughter-in-law who has given me two beautiful granddaughters and soon a grandson (Feb 2010) Sometime in the next year (or so) I'll have an "official" son-in-law.  He proposed to my daughter yesterday --- in a very sweet -- crazy way --- he's an awesome young man. Oh and she said Yes

I'm thankful I'm still sucking air even if it is assisted by O2 on a hose.

I was just thinking last night as I was sitting in one room listening to the kids and some of the adults in the other room playing "Farkle" and screaming and laughing that I was thankful for having travelled to the family get-together, and that we had stayed two nights instead of one (wouldn't have heard the laughing and screeming if we'd left after the first day)... Now, I'm also thankful that Daniel got the call... -Mike |

I'm Thankful for a great family, Frends, Great club we belong too. Thankful to be able to wake up everyday on the right side of the grass. Thankful to have 2 of the best motorbikes in the world the Valkyrie and the Gold Wing.
Lost two very important people in my life this past year (my father and an uncle that was like a brother to me). Just thankful to have right at 50 years with both of them in my life.
Donna (SugerBee) meant to say she was thankful to have me in her life as a very, very GOOD, close friend. As I am thankful to have Lee (BeeKeeper) and her in my life. Love you SB !

Thankful to have a job and to have enough, to have a Valk and a Majesty and the health to ride them. Thankful to have my VRCC family and friends and to be able to laugh a lot. Thankful to be an American and thankful to all who served and who are serving now. They made it possible for me to enjoy all I'm thankful for.

Thankful for my wife and 3 sons. Lizzie and I are very proud of our boys and the paths they have chosen.
Thankful for my motorcycle family (Ride For Kids, Rolling Thunder and VRCC). Riding motorcycles
has changed my life and the people along the way have changed it as well. I am extremely proud
to be part of the motorcycle community.
Thankful for living in the greatest country in the world and for all the soldiers that have given
us freedom and protected it and us. Thank you to all who served or are serving now.
Thankful I got to see an old friend last night. He had a brain tumor a couple of years ago and is
doing better. We both dropped the ball on keeping in touch. That will change. I am sorry I was
not more part of his life during his difficult time.

I’m thankful that I have a real nice roof over my head, my wife and kids are secure, and should be that way if anything goes wrong with me.
I’m glad I have no one coming after me for anything, nor do I need to go after them!
I’m glad my parents immigrated to America. Many people take that for granted.
I’m thankful that I got fired from my old job, was unemployed for ten months, then got a job that pays $5 more per hour.
I’m thankful that I’m over weight, and not starving.
I’m really glad I don’t live in a small town, but would prefer one larger.
But most of all, I’m glad I have a Valkyrie!
