Comments Below: 1

Despite the economy it's not hard to find a lot to be thankful for this year.

We got plenty of good health news.

Most Americans reported being in excellent or very good health.

And we're living longer too.

Death rates dropped significantly for 8 of the 15 leading causes of death.

Our teeth are doing better.

Nearly 40 percent of us never had a permanent tooth extracted

People around here had their own list of reasons to be thankful.

JeCobia Stepp, "I'm thankful for being alive and all my food that I get to eat and my parents and grandma."

Lauryn Higgins, Thankful, "I'm really grateful that I have 3 different places in town that I can go to without having to travel through Holiday traffic and I have a wonderful family and we're all in good health right now."

Vicki White, "Just about everything. Family, mmm hmm. Just a good life. We're a very fortunate family."

The environment can be thankful too.

The government released figures showing we're buying more fuel efficient cars.
