SuperForest

Yes, Thanksgiving is a holiday muddled by history, but now we are presented with the opportunity to make something positive of it. Every day could be a day devoted to gratitude, but only one bears its name.

That said, Team SuperForest would like to tell you, our readers,what we’re grateful for:

Jackson: I am grateful for the chance to make every moment a new beginning, a chance to be love.

Drake: I am grateful for love, and the ability to explore it in this world we must take care of.

Julius: I am grateful for the knowledge I receive everyday and for all the love I receive from friends, family and SuperForesters.

April: I am grateful for my folks, Shady and Archie. They are both wise and silly, strong and soft. I’m grateful that I live in Australia. I dig the sunshine, the sprawling coastlines, the kind gestures. I’m grateful for my positive mindset, though I’m not sure if that was bestowed or a choice I made long ago. Either way, it has gotten me through many trying times. I’m grateful for my faith, the practice of which has spurred me to feel gratitude all day, every day. I’m grateful that I have a new family in SuperForest; that the experience of being a SuperForester has meant I now go about my life constantly searching for the good, the uplifting, the smile-inducing. I’m grateful for love. Who knew the answer to so much pain and strife was contained in a teeny four-letter word? I’m also grateful for the chance to share what I’m grateful for with you.

Jackie: I am grateful for Love and Life :)

Patricia: I am grateful for everyday life and its small moments of connection - that I can make someone laugh and laugh with someone (and that someone would take the time to teach me to laugh at myself;) - our capacity for wonder and sense of the absurd - You and Me and Us. And coffee.

Heather: would like me to refer you to the post she did on CANADIAN Thanksgiving day.  Rivalry! Just kidding.

Carla:  I am grateful for everything that has been, for everything that is, and everything that is yet to come.

Chris: I am grateful for my mom, who is always supportive of my endeavors (although some may be short-lived), and who realizes that success is not the amount of money in your bank account but rather the amount of love and compassion you have in your heart.

There you have it.

What are you grateful for?
