Open Image ModalWhat I’m most thankful for in 2014 is the continued health of those that I love and the gift of their presence in my life. This includes my friends, my co-workers, my sister and my daughters. Health is a very easy thing to take for granted, except when it’s no longer there.-- Arianna Huffington, President and Editor-in-Chief, The Huffington Post

Open Image ModalI’m thankful for a job that never feels like work, and for colleagues who share a fierce commitment to walking the tightrope of ideas that risk idiocy in hopes of becoming inspired. I'm thankful for the judges, juries and voters for various awards who continue to recognize HuffPost Live as an innovative platform. I'm thankful for a body that's held up despite some 365 plane flights over the past 3.5 years. And I'm deeply thankful that my son is enjoying his freshman year of college, my daughter her freshman year of high school -- and that my delightful wife isn't dreading the moment when the nest is empty and it's just me and her.-- Roy Sekoff, President and Co-Creator, HuffPost Live

Open Image ModalI am an only child and an only grandchild, and this year was kind of a rough one for my tiny, extremely close family. My 82-year-old grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to have a very invasive surgery over the summer in order to remove it. I am more than thankful to the doctors and nurses who were so patient and understanding with us, and for doing such an excellent job caring for my grandmother. I am even more grateful for her now clean bill of health, and the fact that after 60 years, she has finally quit smoking.-- Jamie Feldman, Associate Editor, HuffPost Style

Open Image ModalI'm thankful for the birth of my beautiful godson, Mason Jax. I'm thankful that he is healthy and happy, and I'm thankful for my cousin and best friend for bringing him into this world!

Open Image ModalI am thankful for my brave daughter Uma, who is teaching me what an amazing girl she is. Uma was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2014, and we are committed to help many other families facing this challenge. Life is so precious, and we are strong in this new chapter of our lives. We want to help other Hispanic families suffering from the condition. Millions of kids are waiting for a cure, and we are positive that we will have it. We are thankful for waking up every morning.-- Hirania Luzardo, Senior Editor, HuffPost Voces

Open Image ModalI'm thankful for the incredible friendship I've shared with this girl for half of my life. The phrase "best friend" just doesn't do our relationship justice. We know each other's pasts, support each other's futures and appreciate each other's imperfections. We are a "tribe" of two, and I wake up each day with a smile on my face knowing that this bond we share will never fade.-- Alena Hall, Associate Editor, Third Metric

Open Image ModalI'm thankful not only for family but for the amazing girlfriends on my block that are such a wonderful support system. Not every mother of three can say that they do a girls' weekend with their neighbors -- usually eight to 12 other mothers go -- to Miami every January. We've done this five years running. Now that is a special neighborhood, in Montclair, New Jersey, for which I am truly grateful.-- Shelley Emling, Senior Editor, Huff/Post 50

Open Image ModalI'm thankful to still be working in a job I love at age 64. The economy has been unkind to many older workers, and I am thankful for not just the fact that I have a job, but it's a job that I wake up eager to do each day.--Ann Brenoff, Senior Writer/Editor and Huff/Post50 On The Fly columnist

Open Image ModalKnowing she wouldn't live the extra month to their 45th wedding anniversary, my aunt put on her original wedding dress for a surprise of epic proportions. As I helped her get ready, she joked that if it weren't for the ovarian cancer and subsequent chemo treatments, she never would've slimmed down enough to fit in the dress again. Then she walked into the garden where our entire family was waiting, told us she loved us all and proceeded to kiss my uncle long enough for me to snap this photo. She died about a week later, and the last thing she said to me was, "Hey kid, whatever you do, take down a few extra bad guys for me. Now, get the hell out of my room and go get up to some good." This Thanksgiving, I am certainly sad that I lost her but not nearly as grateful as I am to have had her to begin with.-- Carina Kolodny, Senior Editor, Special Projects

Open Image ModalI'm thankful for my dog, Bruna, who never met a clean pile of laundry she didn't like to topple over. I had no idea when I took this rescue pup home in March she would turn into such a loyal companion who gives unconditional love to me (and unconditional malice to the neighborhood squirrels). With her, every day seems a thousand times funnier than it would have been otherwise.-- Kim Bellware, Chicago Associate Editor
