I am thankful for...
I JUST HAVE to do this for the weekly #powerhousecreatives contest this week. I was overwhelmed with the heart of gratitude the recent Sunday and was inspired to create a post of thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was just around the corner, and the timing couldn't have been better. Then, today I came upon the newly written post by @jaynie, The email that changed my life!.
If you have not read what the post is all about, please do so because it is nothing but an inspiration for this week's PHC contest. Though a simple one, I hope that you guys can actually think through and write your hearts out for this one. Who knows, you may have realized that life isn't so bad after all in 2019. Be blessed as you pen down your entries.

I would guess that it’s incredibly hard to feel thankful if we’ve literally gotten every single material thing we’ve ever wanted handed to us our whole lives. Living in such an environment, why would we feel thankful for anything; unless we’d experienced having a need that was out of our reach before we became wealthy?
Thanksgiving is everyday, not just for one week! by @ireenchew

Thanksgiving should be everyday; not just one day and dictated by a President that is long gone from this world. We don't need to be told that we should be thankful or grateful for what we have today and now. If we're to be told, then there is no meaning to the word Thanksgiving. Which also reminds me as to why we have turkey on the table during Thanksgiving dinner? Different country = different culture ?

Merry Christmas my friends, today begins the month of December and I'm very happy, one Christmas more or one Christmas less, everything depends from the point of view that you look at it.We can be thankful for the good things that happen to us; I believe that feelings are an essential part that fills our spirit and gives us faith and hope to move forward. The love for our family, for our children, friends, neighbors are a fuel that fills you with energy day by day to move forward.

Childlike in our wonder by @wales

Today I walked out into the back garden and immediately saw a black cat that looked just like the one that comes into the garden from somewhere each day.I like the black cat; we’re becoming acquainted. It used to run away from me when it saw me, but now it doesn’t, and just sits there and watches me. It is learning not to be afraid, but is still cautious.

At one point it was hard for me to come up with something I was grateful for. During that time even breathing was painful and waking up was another day of torment.Things have greatly changed and that I am thankful for. Since I have been on my journey I have learned the importance of being grateful for even the smallest of things.
On Being Grateful by @porters

I found this a wonderful opportunity to give pause and reflect back on the year, giving thanks for the many things presented to me in 2019!One big thing that I'm very grateful for, as it had been weighing on my mind with a change in teachers, is that the new teacher that I work with in Pre-k, loves the kids, is enthusiastic and dedicated to providing a safe and secure place, providing many opportunities, opening doors, for the children to grow to their greatest potential!
The Present Of Life by @redheadpei

No matter where or why we celebrate Thanksgiving, it is a time to be thankful and grateful for the food the harvest has provided and the family and friends we have to share the fruits of the bounty.Thanksgiving signals a time to not only gather around and share a scrumptious meal but to appreciate the blessings one has.
Thoughtful Daily Post by @justclickindiva
A few months ago, I redecorated my dining room and needed a picture to hang on one of the walls. I found the most beautiful canvas that literally spoke to me, so I purchased it. It was perfect for my space and my state of mind at the time because it read....

Thanksgiving is easy when what you've set out to do, you've done it. Grateful to God that has allowed me to be alive and healthy to see my grandson grow and continue to share with my family. I give thanks for the good and bad times, we cry and laugh. Venezuelans are full of hope for a new year. Bad experiences are just learning. At 54, I'm still learning. I thank life for the people I have met on this platform, I respect and esteem them. We cannot live for hatred and banalities. Let us put our hearts into living.

2019 seems good to me. This is the year that I finished my studies, this is the year that it gives me more knowledge about steem. I meet new people and new discord server because of @steemterminal community. By joining in a different community it gives me knowledge that I can use here in steem. Not just me but also people who were there motivates me to keep on writing. Also, the people who are always giving me confidence. Most of those people can be found on steem terminal. I'm so thankful for the people who are there, they're too many but I can mentioned few them. Pardon me for doing that. @brittandjosie, @kittygirl, @xcountrytravelers by ren and @wesphilbin. Those people are always there to help you, trust me.
Congratulations

How is my account voting on all of your posts? lol I've changed my keys 3x and I still get these random votes to your account and like 3 others. Were you on ShadowBot?
Hahahaha, yes. Wait, are u on shadowbot? I was wondering that too. Sorry about the force upvote
I was. The deactivate button didnt work. So I changed all of my Steem keys. 3 times. Somehow it's still using my account to vote. It makes absolutely no sense.
weird... are u trailing any other trails on steemauto?
1 but Ive disabled it before. It's definitely shadowbot because I'm getting votes from grandpawhale and others still. I have no idea how they could still be doing it though. Makes no sense. I've disconnected every service I've ever used. Still did it lol
Hmmm..... I think you may need to DM shadowbot about this... I think they set it to autotrail.
I tried haha. That dude disappeared. He posted about how he's not maintaining it anymore. So I'm out of ideas on it. It's not too much VP so it's whatever. It's just really weird.
