What are you thankful for?
When I put that question to The Roanoke Times’ readers, their responses were interesting, enlightening and endearing.
Often they were thankful for ordinary and mundane-sounding reasons.
That tells you this: T
hey understand the importance of appreciating life’s daily small miracles. And of the pitfalls of taking anything for granted.
Enough with my meanderings. This column is about you and your thanks.
So here we go — and Happy Thanksgiving.
Add a comment below. For what are you thankful?
Here's a previous blog post where readers offered the reasons they are thankful.
Good column, Dan.

As as Canadian with a son at RC I am thankful for the opportunity he has been provided to continue his lacrosse aspirations (and get an education?)
I am thankful for Mark Taylor enlightening me to the what hunting really means, for Linsdey Nair sharing a slow-cooker Jambalaya recipe, and the other regular contributors to RT. To my neighbours south of the border, take the time to enjoy today and try not to get caught up in tomorrow. And I am not trying to offend anyone, but, cheer on those Cowboys this afternoon!
