What Are You Thankful for in Dixon?

Share your thoughts with other readers.

Posted by Dixon Patch (Editor), November 21, 2012 at 08:00 pm

Although gratitude should not be contained to Thanksgiving alone, it's a holiday that reminds us to be thankful for what we have.

So you tell us: What are you thankful for this holiday season?

Your family? Your friends? Maybe a great local business or your kids' school? The community you live in? Share your story of gratitude with our readers.

Submit your stories in the comments, via our Facebook page or by posting a blog.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Just the ordinary things in Dixon I guess. Enjoying the nice weather, raking leaves, playing driveway basketball with my neighbors, eating a pastrami burger at Alhelis, nice turkey dinner with family, and of course watching football.

Family, friends, beating cancer this year and the love of my life Dave for the past 49 years. Dixon of course, is the best place to live having lived here for 42 years. I hope everyone can find something to be Thankful for this year.

I'm thankful that, after 25 years, I became reaquainted with my Jr. High School crush--Shelley is the love of my life and I only wish I'd had the guts to ask her out in 1977 instead of waiting until 2002. We've been married 9 1/2 years and it feels like only weeks have passed since we were reintroduced to each other.
