Thanks for posting this, Susan. Thanksgiving comes a little later in the states (November 28) but it helps to have an attitude of gratitude year-round. When you are single and have a longing for a partner that is not fulfilled, it is easy to focus on what is missing. I do have a lot to be thankful for:

A nice home that I own outright (no mortgage)
More than adequate income for a single person
Good health
Faith
Being retired and being able to take whatever interesting classes I want
My volunteer job in the parish library
Living in a place with a climate that is conducive to spending time outdoors
