    I'm thankful for the fact that my kiddos don't have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. #cfcachat

    @clos1981:Absolutely! Even more when you realize one McDonalds meal can fund a month's meal for people CFCA works with! #cfcachat

    The little picture: I'm thankful for my washing machine. Sometimes I tell it how much I love it. I've lived w/o one. Not fun. #cfcachat

    @worleygirl Definitely. Those daily essentials are so easy to take for granted. Stunning to know they're not "givens" for so many. #CFCAChat

    Q4: My dishwasher broke. When I wash by hand every day, I am conscious that my inconvenience is the only option for others. #CFCAChat

    @CFCA A2 I like to express gratitude by paying it forward, taking time to say "thanks" verbally, and old fashioned snail mail! #cfcachat
