I never thought I'd be thankful for ...

I never thought I'd be thankful for my small fiber peripheral neuropathy diagnosis --- but it started my journey on Connect where I met many of my cyber friends and helped fill a void that I never knew I had.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Connect friends -- How would you complete this sentence? @thankful @steeldove @rivermaya34 @athenalee and all of my unnamed friends who would rather stay anonymous 🙃

I never thought I would be thankful for insatiable curiousity. It got me in so much trouble growing up! But it has led me down many fascinating paths in my life, to so many ideas, people and places - and has given me the opportunity and passion to continue learning. Connect and the cyberworld of information and friendships is just one piece of it.
These past 20 months have been at best challenging, and for some, heartbreaking. Today I will pause and reflect with friends (and remotely with family) on the blessings we each can find in our lives.
Thank you to each of you for enriching my life and easing my journey. You are too numerous to name, lest I forget someone dear to me. Wishing you peace and comfort.

@migizi. I never thought I would be thankful for the covid pandemic which forced my retirement. As a result and almost two years on a health journey, I have realized it was in the best interest of my overall health to retire (in spite of how much I loved my job). Crazy how something good can come out of such darkness.
I never thought I be thankful for SO many medical providers—surgeons, doctors, nurses, EMTs, social workers, MedEvac crews, and others—who saved me from dying three times in the past two years! And, my eternal gratitude for the man whose liver gave me a second chance for life…I wake up every morning thinking about him and his generosity for stepping up to be an organ donor.

I never thought I'd be thankful for all of the fiery trials in my life - past, present and probably future. They have redirected my focus, turned my eyes upward, allowed me to see the world in vibrant colors, deepened my gratitude for new mercies and blessings, given me opportunities to share encouragement and perspective with others, increased my hope, caused me to dip into hidden inner strength and now have risen out of the ashes like a phoenix. And so much more! Thankful to have found this community which has already made huge impacts on my life. Grateful for new friendships and the privilege of encouraging many beautiful people here. Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll! 🙂 @artscaping @macygollob @jenniferhunter @hopeful33250 @swats005 how about you?
