The conversation between my eldest bother and I this morning went like this
Me: Happy thanksgiving!!!
Eldest brother: Ekpen, Doo. Happy thanksgiving to you.
However, the events that followed later in the day would have been enough to convince myself that there are no reasons to be thankful. I am still thankful and wish to join all those celebrating today to say
Four Main Things and People I Am Thankful For
My Existence
I am thankful to the one who created me (God Almighty)for the breath of life that I still have. If not for His love, mercy and compassion, I would have transitioned and maybe long forgotten.
Family and Good Friends
Without the support of my family and good friends (including those whom I've met on the steem blockchain), I wouldn't be where I am today. My indebtedness to them is great.
The Steem Blockchain
It would have been impossible to express myself on the steem blockchain if it never existed. For creating the steem ecosystem, I am most grateful to , other members of the Steemit Inc. team, all Steem witnesses who secure the blockchain, whales, orcas, fellow dolphins, minnows and redfish. We all work on the steem blockchain through posting and curating content.
Many thanks to ,
, the Nigerian community, curation team,
members.
Special Thanks To 
Special greetings go to my brother and friend, and his family. Thank you for everything!
Enjoy the family reunion and celebration.
