Happy Thanksgiving

I am going through some huge changes in life right now, including a location and entire lifestyle change (which I can only hope will be for the best), and an intense, emotionally draining personal issue, which I also hope ends up for whatever will be best, whatever that means in the end. Besides all that, my ancient desktop died last week (Murphy's law), and I am trying to keep my stress down, and yet rely on what I know brings me strength and comfort in the long run, which includes being here. Reaching out to others makes me feel needed, and stronger. It's also been said before one of the most wonderful things about this place is that we all CAN be there for each other. For that reason, I decided to stop what I was doing, and reach out to leave this message I feel the NEED to leave, NOW.

All that celebrate , and even those that don't {just take this message in, removing the 'holiday aspect" } I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with good food, good times, good company, good memories, good feelings, whatever makes you FEEL good. I am SO grateful for all on The Teams on both coasts, the mods and staffers here, and of course, my fellow posters, many of whom I consider friends I just haven't met yet. My life would NOT be the same without any, and all of these factors. And when my life has been tougher, like it is now, you have never let me down, giving me strength without even knowing it, and I am forever grateful. Huge hugs to all, know you are thought of, and appreciated. I am thankful for ALL of the above. I will especially be glad I left this post now if I don't get to watch the Saturday Marathon Show. I only hope they all feel how much they have, and will, add to my life.

Sorry if this got a bit emotional, but I had to get my thanks and feelings out there. We never know when life might turn on a dime, and I NEVER want to feel I left ANYTHING positive and thankful unsaid. I also humbly ask for your caring thoughts and positive energy.
How are you today?
 
SH I’m sending you lots of positive energy and hugs. I enjoy reading your posts. Here’s hoping the coming year will be full of good things for you.
@Ravens girl - You just warmed my heart. Thank you , my friend, who I just haven't been able to meet (and hug) yet.
 
How are you today?
@Welsh_Dragon - Hanging in , thanx. Enjoying the 12 hour marathon show in bites, here and there, while still trying to deal with all that's going on, packing, and the personal issue Also TOTALLY grateful and DEEPLY touched and humbled by all the wonderful, caring messages and show of an actual community and family here. I've known that for a LONG time, but I still get deeply touched, and emotional, every single time I feel that - whether towards myself or others. And always love to make others feel seen, validated, appreciated when, and if, I can. Here, and in my daily life.

Between that, and being able to be a tiny part of the wonderfulness of what's happening with GKTW, and knowing how many families have/will experience the joy I have over the years (continuing with the show today), my heart is a total melted mess right now. In a beautiful way. Paying it forward - you truly DO get SO much more than you can ever give.

@disneyworldsk - Thank you, and you're right - Joisey girls is a special breed, honey! Even though not born or raised here, I have been here since '84, and it's been part of my backbone through the years, and certainly with what I'm dealing with now, so PROUD of it, and THANKFUL for it! I think my tough Russian/Ukranian ancestors are also helping me - ya know - Circle of Life/ancestor looking down kinda thing. ;)
 


Sending you happy vibes! It's been a pleasure meeting you through the computer!
@TresGriffin - Thank you, you as well. You have definitely always struck me as somebody I would love to "hang out" with, for sure. One of the "bites" of the marathon show I caught was you playing that game. Once I'm in my new location, and settled, I definitely want to watch that over,and get to "know" you better, along with many other pieces I only glanced at, or missed entirely.
