I have a lot to be Thankful for but I too hate the stress of fighting the crowds at the grocery stores, spending 2 days getting ready for a dinner that is over in 15 minutes.

So we decided that next year we are going to go camping on Thanksgiving instead of the usual Dinner at home. If any of the family wants to join us all the better but a simple dinner and the great outdoors sounds much better than the rat race.

This post is what we are the most thankful for so this is what I'm most thankful for besides my family, health and job.

I have a friend who last year was diagnosed with a Blood cancer and a tumor that was spreading through out her body. It was so bad that all the Doctors told her she would not make it to Christmas. She saw doctors locally and at Hospitals like UC Davis and some where in Southern California all told her the same thing. She asked the Doctors if there were any treatments she could get to help and all said the cancer was to advanced to do anything now. She continued to work even though she was weak and could not keep down any food, she was getting weaker by the day. So a whole bunch of us started to pray for her, we had many families praying and many churches as well. Well today the cancer is in remission, she is healthy and can eat like normal and now is getting better every day, plus the Doctors are totally stumped. She is only 26 years old and has a lot of life in front of her, so this is what I'm thankful for.
