There's plenty to be upset about these days - terrorism, global warming, inequality, hatred, poverty, sickness, Trump, to name a few. But there is plenty to be thankful for, as well. For me, I just finished my first week back at work after a great 2 1/2 week vacation, and I got good reviews for my performance this past year. I'm sitting on my back porch, smoking a good cigar and drinking tequila after a nice swim. Life is good.
I invite you to express gratitude in this thread, to whomever or whatever you want. It may be to life, the universe, God (as you define that term, if at all), your family, your significant other(s), a friend. I'm filled with a sense of gratitude and feel that I want to express it. I invite you to do the same.
Thanksgiving came early, did it? :P
I'm thankful for having bare necessities, especially when I'm reminded of how such things are taken for granted. I have somewhere I call 'home' and the means to buy food and water when an increasing amount of people don't. I don't feel particularly safe but you can't have everything I guess.
My mother who was always there for me and helped me in every way she could. She's someone I can count on.
I'm thankful to my supervisor for accepting me in his lab and everybody in it who have helped me grow.
I'm thankful to myself (?) for getting into a public university. I didn't have to pay to have certain doors open.
I'm thankful for being alive, because I really enjoy it.
I'm thankful for this place.

Mothers! Thanks for mothers!
I am grateful for being here. I feel loved and nurtured by myself, as well as others. I feel grateful for being able to help others in need and to get help in return. I feel like we're (on) a unique planet with lots of wealth and wisdom.
I am grateful for people much smarter than me! It seems like I will never know enough but perhaps I'll be happy 😀
Hmm... Are we talking recent events, in general or like... Define your own scope type of situation?
I like the fact that my vacation is over. Also, I like that I managed to spend three weeks doing what a physicist might call nothing to the point where I can't even remember any of those things I did or didn't do.
Also, I'm grateful to a person I'm unwilling to name or otherwise identify here for offering me a pretty cool job. If ever you should read this and know me for... Well, me, sorry I had to say "no." You know my reasons. I do appreciate you coming to me with this though - unprompted. That... Means something.
Hmm... Other things..?
Nope. The Asmo is a self-centered asshole with entitlement complexes. Gratitude! BAH! Is no more than His fair share, that there! >:( Hashtag deity. >:(
I'm feeling
very grateful for the extra two days off! :party:
It feels like Friday. This calls for some terrible music.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
I'm grateful to Mrs Git for looking after me.
I guess I'm grateful...for being alive? :shrug:

Today is Friday...this is the perfect way to end the day. Thank you,

I'm grateful for it all, grateful I get to be a part of the tragicomedy. And I'm super grateful for my cat. He's a really cool cat, a stripey ginger.
