The third definition is my favorite. I am well pleased. I am glad.
I am thankful for so many things in my life this week. I found myself walking across campus through the wind yesterday, thinking about how often I forget the lengthy list of things that are going well, especially when things don't feel like they're going at all.
Despite frustrations, disappointments and unwanted surprises, I am so thankful for the life I lead. I have friends, family, pets and a significant other who loves me. I have a career that challenges me and a home that makes me feel rested and safe.
I have every reason to be thankful.
I second that...so thankful for you, my friend. And I am happy that you are well pleased :D
