    Hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving!!! I realize it will be difficult for some and know that you are not alone. Try to let you mind rest from all the "turmoil" even if it's just for one day. We ALL deserve at least that.

    Yes, have a wonderful day, everyone. Whatever our situations, whatever challenges we are facing, we are all moving forward in one way or another, and we're doing it with the support of a whole lot of great people! (&&&)

    Yes, on the first or second Monday in October, IIRC. I've often wondered about the nature of the celebration and its timing in Canada.

    Brunch buffet here. Same old shit, different year. Well, it's not shit. It's actually delicious, but the buffet lines can be long.

    Happy T.G. everybody!

    Happy Thanksgiving to my wonderful E.C. community. I am having a couples therapy session this afternoon, so I'm a bit worried about starting something that will get drug through the day tomorrow. But to be certain, I am thankful for the E.C. community and that I am on a journey towards wholeness. I am not trying to be anything but what I am, and so are many...if not all of you!

    As it is primarily a harvest festival, it's held here in October due to our shorter growing season.

    Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends!

    (and may your turkey leftovers be consumed before X-mas!)

    Happy Thanksgiving to all, even if you are eating Tofurkey instead of turkey.

    I want to wish EVERYONE a great Thanksgiving! Be thankful for every little bit of your life and for what inspires you to be who you are. For some it won't be a comfortable time but for many it will be a new day. Enjoy!

    Our Thanksgiving will be a bit bittersweet. It will most likely be the last one with my dad. Most of my family, less one brother, is here. I'm excited and a bit sad.

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I am thankful to have an anonymous place here to relax a bit. Sometimes I feel like I am living three different lives simultaneously. Not secret lives mind you just unspoken.....oh crap that Turkey is waiting.

    Despite all the haters in the world, I'm so thankful for the few people in my life who aren't.

    I'm a little nervous about this next 4 days. Today I get to meet my BF's family for the first time, then tomorrow I fly down south to confront (I mean see) my parents for the first time in 5 yrs. Although I'm a little nervous about it, it's like my BF said, there's nothing they can say or do to you now that they haven't already done. (at least legally anyway, since I'm over 18) My nephew and nieces get to see their aunt too !

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving everybody! (and a belated one to the Canadian friends!) I am so glad that I found this community. You all have helped me a lot to discover myself and come out to my family. And I also like that I can talk about subjects like gender identity and sexual orientation without anyone giving me weird looks. The freedom to explore and talk about new ideas is one of the main things that I like about this community. You people are the best!
