Good morning! Today I am thankful for...

In light of the fact that Mike has passed away, people losing their collections, bad news, etc... I thought it prudent to cheer things up a bit and create a thread about stuff or people on here we are thankful for. Who knows how long this thread will continue on, but the point being that it's a place where we can come and say thank you or things you're thankful for in regards to the hobby.
I will start off by saying that it's amazing how a group of people, many who have never met in person, can come together from across the globe and do a good deed to bless a family in need.
Have a good one folks!

I'm thankful for all the knowledge that I have gained over the years from reading this board.
Finally, I'm thankful to my wife for "letting" me spend money on cards

I am thankful my back surgery and recovery has gone about as well as one could have hoped for. I am in no pain for the first time in years.
I am thankful for my wife - 22 years next month and counting.
Nice idea for a thread - thanks for starting it!

All this. And more aspect of CU that I'm grateful for is the opportunity to buy, sell and trade with members. I've lost track of how many deals I've made in the last year. I really appreciate it because my nearest card shop is 90 mins away and eBay gets tedious. And I don't have friends who collect.
Thanks for the happy thread Guru

<< <i>Life sort of sucks for me at the moment. I have a $60k degree that I haven't been able to use. Work in retail. Away from home. Nearest full-time hockey rink is 2 hours away (playing hockey regularly has always been a major, major stress reliever for me). But I'm definitely VERY thankful for my beautiful fiance and our son. Also thankful to PSA for this board and the collectors who make it worthwhile.
Thanks for the happy thread Guru

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
<< <i>being able to call my youngest daughter and my wife SURVIVORS! >>
That is so great
I'm thankful for this board quite a bit...such an amazing outlet for me in many ways. Most of all thankful for my beautiful loving wife and my son and how proud he makes me feel to be his Dad. Can't complain about much, that's for sure.

Can I borrow one of yours?!?
Our 8-year-old son had a heart that couldn't handle the elevation of this place for the first few years of his life.
Thanks to successful surgeries and God healing the pumping function of our son's heart (something that even his surgeons and cardiologists have agreed they could not fix and has happened because of a "higher source"), his heart is strong and ready to handle places like this.
Thankful for my awesome wife and three great kids.
I am very thankful for, hobby-wise, :
1. That I discovered baseball cards at a young age, and have stayed with them off and on since 1961.
2. That I discovered the mail order firms of the mid-60s, Wholesale Cards Co. and The Trading Card Co.
3. That I was able to attend an early adult hobby convention, the major Detroit show in 1972, thanks to the kindness and compassion of my dear mother.
4. That I was very privileged to finally get the one card I wanted most---an exceedingly attractive specimen of the 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mickey Mantle. This was accomplished 15 years after I got the first card I wanted the most---a '52 Topps Mantle. I wish I still owned that one. I sorely miss it.
5. For my precious wife of 30 years, who has stood by her man, and encouraged him in his hobby, as long as he doesn't overdo it. We were given a marble rolling pin as a wedding gift. We have a family joke that if I should get out of line, she will indeed knock me one. Fortunately for me, she hasn't had to use it yet.
6. For my hobby friends, editor Tom Bartsch of Sports Collectors Digest, and the guys and few gals on the PSA and Net54 message forums.

Today I'm thankful for 3 things...
1. My father in law who is coming over to help paint our trim today.
2. As I was cleaning things up and packing my collection away for this painting project, I realized that I have some pretty cool stuff. Thankful that I've been able to find these gems that I consider a way of experiencing the past.
3. This morning I'm meeting the guy who is like my grandfather. Both my grandfather's passed away when I was young and he has taken me under his wing for a long time.
Have a great day guys!
1. The smell of bacon frying and coffee brewing in the morning
2. Having a good job that pays the bills and allows me to indulge in this hobby
3. A long upcoming weekend and celebrating another decade on this planet with friends new and old
2. My wife, 2 kids, and extended family.
3. I am sitting at the urologist getting ready to get a stent out after having a kidney stone last week. So, I am thankful for life without pain.
4. My steady job to be able to provide for my family.
5. Freedom, although I think it is in danger.

I remember those days, you're good for a while now until they start crawling/walking and getting into everything possible
I am thankful that all of my long term money is in bonds and all of my short term money is short the stock market.
I haven't lost hope for this year though.
I am thankful for my wife and son
I am thankful that I still have my Mom
I am thankful I get to go to work everyday, teach 7th graders, and have a blast doing it.
I am thankful for being a wrestling coach and having just a super group of great guys to coach. I get more from them than they do for me
I am thankful for being able to chat with people on this board and my comic book board and enjoy two hobbies that have brought me much joy over the years

The big 4-0 right?? Congrats man! PM me the exact date.
I'm thankful that today marks 10 years since I married the love of my life on 9/25/04.
And next month makes 12 years since we fell in love.
Today I'm thankful for...
1. Getting to actually see MY doctor instead of the fill-in. It's been difficult dealing with the fill-in as I've been having health issues for about 2 months now.
2. The doc thinking my problems and pain have been coming from my gall bladder.
3. The ultrasound tech that was really nice as well as the lab nurses who took my blood.
4. A patient wife and family who have waited on me the last 2 months as I've suffered in pain and not knowing what is actually going on with my body.
I'll hear back in a couple of hours what's going on. Doc said if it's really severe then I'll have surgery today. If not, I'll schedule it out. Till then, I'm off my feet and resting. Be well today friends.
