I unabashedly love Thanksgiving (here's an essay I wrote two years ago exploring why). One of my favorite parts of the holiday is the corny ritual of going around the table to say what you are grateful for. In that spirit, I invite you to send me your gratitude lists, either written this year or in years past. Share what you are grateful for in list form. I'll post gratitude lists on Thanksgiving. Handwritten, scanned (not photographed) jpegs are best. Mail to todolistblog AT gmail.com. Happy listing and happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. If you are sans scanner or your handwriting is too illegible to share, post your gratitude list in the comments.

I loved your book (just devoured it after receiving from amazon.com) and will become a devotee to your site, as I have to the PostSecret site. Thank you for letting me know I am not the only one "out there" that does some of the list-related things I do! Look forward to sharing some of mine with you soon. Have a great holiday from www.anissastein.com
I am thankful for:
God
My family and friends
A wonderful job with great opportunity
my horses
my health
for living in a country where I take for granted freedoms that many others only dream of.
for weight watchers...to help me get rid of the turkey and fattening stuff I KNOW I am going to eat today!
For friends that tell me I look like I have lost more weight even when I KNOW for a fact (scales don't lie) I have not.
Love your site - I'm a compulsive listmaker too! And because I'm a blog-geek as well, my list of things I'm thankful for is here. Happy Thanksgiving!
