As the title asks, what are you thankful for on this day?

I am thankful for all the typical things, family, health and good fortune. However this year I am especially thankful that after enduring almost 8 years of Obama I will not be subjected to Hillary Clinton as president next year.
^^^Yeah, I was going to say: health, lots of good relationships, the fact of living when and where in history I do, and the electoral college, myself.
I'm thankful for my family and my happy, healthy 1 y/o daughter now. I'm especially thankful that, after being laid off in October, I'll be starting a new job here shortly . . . I just wish we didn't have to pick up and move again after getting here only two years ago@

Though I am thankful for my incredible family every year, especially my wife and daughter, I am more grateful than ever for these blessings today. A good friend of mine decided to take his own life not two days ago, something neither his family or friends were able to foresee. As I come to grips with this loss, I cannot understate how grateful I am to have my own family around, safe, healthy and sound. I wish the same to all other PF-ers around the country (and world).
I am thankful for my wife and kids, a roof over my head, and a great job. It's going to be great to see my best friend later tonight!
I will also be incredibly thankful once our siblings leave us the F**k alone and leave our house!
I am also thankful for my Big Green Egg, and the fact that it has made Thanksgiving great again!

Right now I am thankful that my wife is not in the room.
She went to work at 5:30 AM yesterday, got home at almost 10 PM last night. Then got called in this morning at 5:30 again for a surgery, and got home about an hour ago.
While she was in the other room, Henry helped himself to her fancy coffee:
That dog has no idea that he just had a near death experience!
I'm thankful for the continued safety, peace, and relative harmony in my life. I can, and often do, find things to complain about, but overall - my wife and I are gainfully employed, healthy, and happy. Our future is bright and a present is excellent. I can be thankful for the opportunities I have had and the hard work I've put in to allow me to take advantage of those opportunities. A number of my peers and colleagues cannot say the same.
I'm thankful that we will not have HRC as President, but I admit to being worried about the xenophobia and continued growth of anti-intellectualism in America that may be furthered under a Trump Administration. But I am thankful that I will have the ability to fight against those worries, if necessary.
Peace, Love, Cocoa Puffs,

Happily, I'll have Thanksgiving on Saturday, as Thursday in PNG is just another day.
And what a day it was- a PNG Customs audit of my department in the morning, followed by a medevac.
Shittiest year of my life but I've got a job and I'm not living out of my car so that's pretty cool
