“I am thankful for my two children that are healthy. I’m thankful to be alive at the end of this year. I feel like a lot of people are unable to say that this year. And so, I am most thankful for that. I’m thankful for the roof over my head also since that are a lot of other people who are unable to say that as well.”

“It has been somewhat of a challenging season but when I look beyond the clouds and I see the sun, beyond the adversity I must say I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to live, to be alive, to have my health, to have the opportunity to even speak into this microphone is an indication that Ive been blessed to some degree. So to be in a state that is beautiful, water, everything I need, the basic necessities to breathe, that I am ultimately fortunate for because if you’re still alive then there is some fortune in life so I am grateful.”

“First of all, ten toes down, I’m blessed and I just got back from my graduation from Kansas State with a Masters in academic advising, already looking towards a PH.D. I’m greatful that my young men have never been in jail, I don’t have baby mama drama and I’m finally comfortable. I’m not stressing about my bills, I don’t even stress about when my check is gonna come anymore. So being able to calm down the hustle and really being in a place I’ve never been which is to stop and enjoy. He has blessed me, my birthday just passed, I’m 51 years old and I’m grateful I made it while he is still giving me ten toes down.”

“I’m happy to be alive, I’m happy for my mother, I am happy to be breathing, I am happy to have a job and gainfully employed. Man, I’m happy for everything, just to be existing, waking up in the morning, you know what I mean, simplicity.”

“Im thankful for life! I was a dialysis patient and just received a kidney transplant in June of this year, so I am thankful for life, man!”
David Kaggwa…
“I am thankful for really being alive, well, walking on my own two feet. I know that there are so many people out there that have it much worse than I do, so I am thankful for being able to do what I am able to do now, walking, talking, being able to communicate with people, that is what I’m thankful for.”
