It’s Thanksgiving week and in that spirit, I’d like to ask our community, “What are you thankful for?”

I’ll start:

I’m thankful for all of you, our Twins Daily community. You give me so much food for thought. You give me an outlet to discuss my passions, my fears, my skepticism. Our community makes Twins fandom great, and I haven’t found another one like it.

I’m thankful for our moderation and community leadership team, we get to work together to help make this site as conducive to robust Twins Fandom discussion as possible.

I’m thankful for our founders/owners who keep the lights on, John, Nick, Seth, Parker & Brock

I’m thankful for our writers who continuously churn out tons of great new content for the front page.

Last, but not least, I’m thankful for our blogs and bloggers who write awesome work. One blog post I’d like to point out as a moderator, was written by one of our moderator/community leadership team written 5 years ago. Posting styles discussing our frustrations about the Twins - In My Opinion - Twins Daily. I encourage our community members (myself included) to try a longer form of writing. What are you interested in? What gets your blood pressure up?

If I took the running theme of my posts, the partial thoughts, frustrated rants, one-off comments and collected them up, I could write something longer form… maybe. I dunno…

 

I’m unsure

 

What I write, might suck, it might unravel as soon as I put it out there. I don’t really know how to write prose. But that’s the power of our community and why I am so thankful for you. We as a community will offer candid feedback, support, encouragement, disagreement, and perspective.

I don’t know if blogging will work for me, or if I have that much to say, but maybe I’ll give it a shot. I encourage you all to do the same.

How about you, what are you thankful for?

I’m thankful that the Twins and MLB brought back live baseball to ballparks around North America, and I’m glad the Twins did NOT bring back the stupid, annoying Dance-off.

Was reading the words of Solomon this morning, the end of Ecclesiastes Chapter 5: "Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life."

So on Thanksgiving, eat, drink and be merry, enjoy those who are around you and give thanks.

Thanks to everybody here for a great forum for all things Twins. You know, God foretold us about baseball in the Bible. It all starts with, " In the big inning . . . " ( you have to say it, not read it). Have a great Thanksgiving everybody. ?

I'm thankful the Twins still have Byron Buxton on the roster. I'm thankful the 2021 season is over.  I'm thankful I can say,  "Wait 'til next year". 

That and a whole lot more.

I am thankful for my favorite local team, the Minnesota Twins, who like family I may not always agree with, but still love dearly.   I am thankful for Twins Daily and staff, for the best coverage of my favorite team, and the first place I go to read about them every morning.

I have a lot to be thankful for. Now that the Twins signed Buxton, I have more to be thankful for. With 2 MVP potential players, Buxton & Polanco, we have something to cheer for. 

I've also decided to try an early New Years resolution of taking the high road pertaining to this FO. It'll be hard to keep quiet with things I see but I'll try my best.
