BiggerPockets

I am thankful that the recession seems to be ending, that my wife is as awesome as she is, and for our new baby daughter.

Great topic!

Congrats Bryan and Charles on the new babies!

I'm actually thankful that we didn't have a baby this week! The little guy tried his best to break free about two months early, but the doctors convinced him that we'd be okay without the extra tax break this year...

Wow real estate investors are fertile! Congrats

I am thankful for my wife and 2 boys, and all of us being in good health. Looking forward to many good memories with my family in the coming years.

I truly believe gratitude is the best emotion to feel every day. Of course thats every day.

On thanksgiving I will be thankful for the turkey naps and football!

Great topic!
I am most thankful for my wife, and our two sons, who are 7 and 3, and that we're all in good health. They are really the reason I get up in the morning.
I'm also thankful for having a good job that earns me enough that we don't have to worry about paying our bills. I've seen what be short of money can do to families - the stress even more than the doing without - so I feel like it's good to stop once in a while and think about how fortunate we are that there is nothing like that standing in the way of our being happy.
I'm also thankful about 2010 being the year that we got off the sidelines and got our first couple of properties - we made the step from thinking about/preparing/wishing for our dreams and actually started working on them. Despite this just being our first couple of baby steps, that's a big deal for us.

Great topic!

Joel-- I agree; we must be thankful & happy for what we have, but if we dream of more, then we can't be complacent. We have those dreams for a reason! And as it was already mentioned, money just gives you options. Without it, you have few. With lots of money, your options can be almost limitless!

Sure, I want the financial security that comes with being successful, however, the last 2 yrs or so, I've really started to give back heavily, but wish to do so much more in that area. Its hard to make a big impact in the world with limited resources. That is one of my "drives," to see how much I can give back.

What am I thankful for? Awesome health & physical shape; great team members to work with; incredible teachers over the years who have taught, pushed & challenged me; a wonderful girlfriend and her son--he is 3 yrs old and has cystic fibrosis and had a liver & small bowel transplant, but has been doing really, really well. Honestly, too many things to really mention here, but you get the message! :)

Jimmy-- what are "turkey naps?" :wink:

Joel:

If you wish to carry on side discussions - please use PM for that. Otherwise, stay on topic - please??

DUH! Perhaps the 2 of you could then start your own forum topic - I think I would be thankful for that basic consideration from both of you!

Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

I am thankful for a great family and a very supportive wife.

I am very thankful for coming across BiggerPockets and I am also thankful to you guys for making BP a wonderful resource. Some of the more experienced members may not realize what a huge impact they make in the lives of newbies like us, so a BIG THANK YOU to all you guys out there. :-)

Max, BP is a great resource and I'm also thankful that Josh and the many other contributors put there time in making this site possible. The site has been around 6 years and continues to grow. Thanks everyone for your willingness to share your experiences, knowledge and time.

I hope that many new investors are able to find this place because it can help get them started in the right direction.

I am thankful that I have a great family to wake up to everyday. It was this time 3 years ago that I almost lost my wife and unborn son. Eventhough he ended up coming 2 months early (on Christmas day) due to the complications, he showed me how strong such a little person can be.

For me, when it comes to the end of the day, all you have is your family.
