What Are You Thankful For?

Patch asks community members to share their Thanksgiving thoughts.

In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to get caught up in the holiday spirit overlooking the true meaning of the holiday. This Thanksgiving, we asked Sayville residents what they are thankful for.

"I am thankful for my family, especially Keira and Jack, my two grandchildren.”

Eileen Tyznar, TEACH Consulting Services

“I am thankful for my health, my beautiful family and so thankful to be able to live and have my business in the best community in Long Island...Sayville!!”

Kiersten Bartolotta, Owner/Coach of Walk To Run Fitness in Sayville

“I am thankful to all my Sayville clients who meet with me every week even though they are tired and very busy with their jobs and their families.  They still come with their sneakers and a smile and do their run/walk workouts without complaint (well, maybe a little complaining!) and for that I am very thankful.”
