Tracking “Thankful” on Twitter

About a half hour ago I saw this on Twitter from @misc:

tracking “thankful.” call me a hopeless sap but there’s something heartwarming about all that gratitude & happiness streaming in.

I decided to do the same. Here’s a snapshot of what people on Twitter are feeling thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
