I'm thankful that I am an American.
I may have a president that I disagree with and I may think that my countrymen are all a bunch of idiots, but dammit I can still say that the leader of my nation is a no good, cocksucker without worrying about the secret police kicking in my door tomorrow and hauling my ass off to the gulag.
I'm thankful that I have a job. Speaking with a view of humanity in general, I am one of the wealthiest people on Earth, and the conditions that I would consider to be poverty, should I be forced to it tomorrow, would still put my living standard far and away above the rest of the people that I share this planet with.
I am also thankful for my family. They may be a bunch of fucked up weirdos with more issues than National Geographic, but dammit, I love the lot of them and I know that they love me...in their various ways, none of them being physical of course, we're not from Mississippi after all.
And most importantly, I am thankful for the Detroit Tigers. Back to back American League Central Division champions for the first time in more than 70 years, winning their 11th American League Championship in franchise history, the second in the last 7 seasons, and now bigger and stronger with the addition of Torii Hunter, on their way to their third consecutive AL Central Championship, second consecutive American League Championship and first World Series title since 1984.
