Being the Holiday season (and Thanksgiving in the U-S, Canada celebrated a month before..)
I thought of this thread listing we have to be thankful for, whether it's travel related, frequent flyer related, or Flyertalk related.

I have so many things to be thankful for, but I'll try to give some of the ones that most come to mind:

*Having a job that allows me to travel.

*Having a love of new places, new things and not being afraid to take a risk.

*Have a bankroll of miles and points to treat myself to upgrades and nice rooms, and sometimes share my good fortune with my closest friends.

*This Board, even though it sometimes disintegrates to childish, high school behavior.

*Yaz and Eddie for letting me endulge in this board, although reminding me with their own "biting" humor when it's din din time!

*United not going on strike right now, it's pilots getting a new contract, and I hope the mechanics there (and at Northwest) and the U-A flight attendants get fair deals as well.

*A brain so I can absorb and learn from you Flyertalkers.

*Being blessed with so many Flyertalk friends, who have touched my life and become family and the things they do. Just a few examples:
>Rudi's good natured, welcoming spirit and humor (and showing me a love of Tescheur chocolates.
>PremEx, for being the true BIG BRUDDAR and always looking out for me. You are the best man.
>Dgolds and his heart and love of life and starting the Secret Santa thing again!
>Punki's royal spirit.
>Essxjay's bits of wisdom.
>Jon Toner and his advice.
>Quiet Lion's trip reports.
>Randy for starting this thread
>And you wanderlust, for so many things, and helping me develop the "no worries" attitude on life. Thanks man!

Oh so many of you I am to be thankful for, don't think I forgot any of you if I didn't write about you here.

Happy Turkey Day.
