I'm thankful for each and every one of our amazing community members and for the family we have here at R2R!

- I'm thankful you done this to happen ages ago @revhtree , if wasn't you (or people who done it with you, that moment now will be completely different I know, so Thank you REV, and thank you R2R Community !!!!

- I'm thankful I'm still alive and can wake up after 3-4 hours (only) sleeping and still have enough power to help the people with my services (computer and micro/macro electric repairs), which actually deliver me happiness and make me doing it and wake up with smile most of the days.

- I'm thankful for the hobby (which keep me awake every single late night, which is better for my life understanding " when I die will have the entire time to sleep and get rest, so now 3-4h per 24 are enough and not wasted time in doing nothing"

- I'm thankful to many people here in the R2R community (will say some of them, some don't member the name, please excuse me, but have a problem with remembering names): @revhtree , @Daniel@R2R , @vetteguy53081 , @KJ , @Crabs McJones , @sfin52 , @JGT , @fishguy242 almost every one who is supporter and partner member (with all this people REV and the team can keep going much better every single year).

- I'm thankful I can be part of this family and to enjoy it (if wasn't the R2R forum,wasn't anything there to make me to step in it, R2R give me such a power to decide and to jump in)

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO READ THIS, FEEL SELF BLESSED YOU ARE ALIVE, YOU ARE GETTING LOVE (one way or another), YOU ARE THANKFUL AND HAPPY AT LEAST BY YOUR OWN (some are that way happy only)

[Reef Box]

I am thankful to be working during a time when not so many people are as fortunate. I am thankful of my partners who keep me safe while we are reminded daily of the dangers of our job. I am thankful for my amazing wife who puts up with all my shenanigans (even though sometimes I know she is just pretending to put up with me). I'm thankful for my kids and the grandkids. Overall I have a pretty amazing life. I had to work hard for all of it but I'm still thankful for the opportunities both for success and for failures.

 

[LadyMac]

Oh gosh there’s so much! I am thankful for:

An old friend who gave us the opportunity to work. Without which, I wouldn’t be able to afford anything for my reef. He has helped us to get a little out of debt.

Everyone here, who’s been amazing and offers shoulders to cry in, support and fantastic advice.

My lawyer for finally settling on my case from five years ago. We didn’t get much but it also helped us pay off some bills.

My family for dealing with my crazy needs for my fish tanks.

Understanding from everyone that I do have health issues causing my hands to not function sometimes, making it difficult to paint.

And above all else, God for blessing us with all we have, and helping guide us through this train wreck of a year. Helping me to overcome daily struggles where my mind wanders into places it shouldn’t. Keeping my anxiety and depression under control.

 

[maceto]

Thankful for this community. Amazing community helping me every step in the hobby. Thankful for my wife, my family, my work.

 

[saltnut]

I am thankful that my family and friends are healthy.

 

[TN_Huskymama]

I am very thankful for the health of my family, the strength God gives me daily to deal with my struggles and my family”s struggles,
And I am very thankful for this community! There are so many friendly and positive people! Given the negativity on social media this year, I find myself on R2R so much more just based on the shared knowledge of the group and the positive vibes from the group members.
So thank you all for being here and a part of this group!!

 

[cshouston]

I’m thankful for this great community!

I’m thankful for each new day of my life.

I’m thankful for the scientists who spend their lives working to protect the oceans. I’m thankful for their hard work in searching for ways to combat climate change, and to counter the existential risk it poses to coral reefs and to humankind itself.

I’m thankful for the healthcare workers who are working their butts off on the frontlines of the health crisis we are trying to overcome.

I’m thankful for those who choose to wear a mask in public because they care enough about the risk to themselves and everyone around them.

[KWT]

I am thankful for love, life, and liberty.
This site and all the community members.
The ability to help others when I can.
For friends and family.

 

[Rubymoon286]

I am thankful for my chosen family this year. This year has been a hard one, I'm disabled, high risk, and on travel restrictions with work (I work in epidemiology and disease research.) I have basically not left the house except to go work in the lab or go to doctor's appointments since March, and it's been hard. The people I've chosen to be family all put their heads together to surprise me, and have decided to tighten their quarantines for the next two months so that they can come down to visit me for the holidays, and my birthday on Christmas. I feel so loved and wanted by them.

 

[StormyVT]
