I’m repeating a Thanksgiving blog from 2016. The following bloggers have been regular readers from five years ago. We were probably brought together by the Blogging University. A great experience to build community. Barbara at https://en.gravatar.com/ghostmmnc, Dawn Marie at https://en.gravatar.com/dawnmarie823, Yinglan at https://en.gravatar.com/yinglangao2003 I think some others were also readers then, but you did not leave a like so I can’t tag you.
My Blogging Friends, we have some things in common to be thankful for:
The ability to spell and write coherent sentences
Discretionary funds which allow the equipment necessary for social media
Physical strength, health, and mobility
The drive and unction which made us enter this cyber world
Enough confidence to put our “selves” out for critique and evaluation
Now for some thanks from me to you. With age comes a dwindling of opportunities to socialize, to educate, to learn, to have fun, to argue, to influence, to inspire. My experience in Blogging has opened all these opportunities to me. I am grateful to you, my Blogging Community. Thank you.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Sweet aroma 
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Oneta! There’s plenty to be thankful for, and we’re all thankful for you.
Thanks, Linda. That was kind of you to say that. Hope your day was pleasant.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
And I’m wishing a happy day after Thanksgiving to you. Hope Yesterday was good for you.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Oneta!! So thankful you’re part of my cyber world. 🌹
I like it in here with you. 😀
Happy Thanksgiving, Oneta! I’m so grateful to have gotten to know you a little bit and thankful you’ve put yourself out there blogging.
Thank you, I.B. You have given me an “adjustment” in my thoughts on several occasions. I think we have accepted that God did not make us all “saint-like” even when he made us saints.
Happy Thanksgiving, Oneta! I love the phrase “the drive and unction”… I am thankful for you and our blogging community members who sue words in ways that make us think and grow!
I do indeed love words, even though mine match “Dick and Jane” more closely than “War and Peace.” I sometimes ask myself which I like best – your message or the way you put they message out. Both are great. If I had had a teacher like you, maybe I would not have been such a late bloomer.
I always told my students that they should use the RIGHT word, not necessarily the longest word or the ‘smartest’ one. You have that natural gift and developed skill of finding the right words!
Thank you, Sweet Lady.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving xx
My Thanksgiving was pleasant, made easy on me by the work of my sons and their wives. Plus others who pitched in as they could. Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thank you 😊 yes very 👍
Thanksgiving celebrated in some nations as a special HOLIDAY reminds us ALL of what we have and should focus us towards the ONE whose BIRTHDAY we now journey towards remembering. Exuberant thankfulness of heart to ALL because He came so long ago. Happy advent as we remember in His Word the old, old story. Blessings.!
Historically you did not have the same reason for a Thanksgiving Day, but you do have much reason for Thanksgiving. Hope our historical celebration sparks some thankful memories in your hearts also. God’s faithfulness is a reason for thankfulness from us all.
I am eternally thankful too for all I have come to know through our blogging. Thank you Oneta always informative and helpful, You are valued and loved.
I am also thankful to know you via blogsville. Remembering your need for a special prayer for your health. God will work out good and will direct a successful surgery.
So grateful that unction carried me your way too, Oneta! Hugs to you this thanksgiving and beyond.
Hugs and blessings! Indeed you are. You have certainly had a change in your family unit during these last five years, haven’t you. I know you are blessed and are a blessing.
I think a lot of us feel that way, Oneta. Over the past two years, many of us have been thankful that we had a way of connecting with others all over the world without leaving our kitchens. I’m glad you are a friend I got to know a little better during this time. Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving.
I think we bloggers get to knew each other in important ways not often acknowledged in our face to face meetings with friends. Thanks for sticking with me in this sphere.
Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope you had a wonderful time with your family and friends!
thank you very much, Kally.
Hope you and your family had a lovely Thanksgiving, Oneta! Hard to believe the year has gone past so fast. I’m so glad we connected through our blogs way back then. It’s been such a pleasure to read your posts and thoughts. ❤
Thanks much. We did have a good Thanksgiving Day.
Wonderful! ❤
Happy belated Thanksgiving Oneta— the Mayor and Sheriff have been keeping me a bit busier this holiday so I’m trying to play catch up!!!!!
You can catch up with me pretty fast. I’m running slow! 😀 Alright, make that “slowly”.
