Thank you staff for hosting another great event and happy Thanksgiving to everyone! 🦃

What I am thankful for is to be blessed with a beautiful home, a gorgeous & amazing wife, and to be a part of a loving family on both sides! 😁 I also am thankful for my cute, lively puppy! 🐶
 
I'm thankful to have my family. Even though I'm too far away to spend Thanksgiving with them, I still feel their love from halfway across the country. I'm thankful for my spouse for always being loving and caring. And I'm thankful for my birds for being the sweetest little stinkers in the world. 🥰
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all! I am thankful for everyone in my life who has gotten me through the past couple of months. I recently went through some big life changes and decided to leave an abusive situation and am very grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way.
 
I'm grateful that I've been able to talk about my mental health more with the people I'm closest to in my life. Life has been really difficult for me lately, and the depressive feelings I have felt have been scary and hopeless. But my mom and sister have been incredibly supportive and kind to me during these hard times. My mom started to realize how much I was going through once I opened up, and we've talked a lot about therapy. She's listened and understood and validated me, and things have felt a little less hopeless🙂

Thank you for hosting staff! Everyone's posts have been very sweet and inspiring❤️
 
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! I lowkey always forget US has Thanksgiving in November 😭 I’m very grateful to my closest friends. They’ve helped me a lot throughout the years, especially through a lot of my lows and I truly don’t know what I would do without them. 🥺💕
 
ooo thanks for this giveaway! Pumpkin Pie!!! :D

Today, I am most thankful for my family who are a part of my life. They’ve made some mistakes here and there but are always in the end. They are always there for me when I needed them most, to keep me from feeling down on myself or giving up. It’s because of them I an here and still here today. I have grown up with 6 siblings, a very kind grandma, and two of the best parents I could have ever asked for. Of course, I can not for get my loving dog who I spent 15 years with, bless her soul.

I am also thankful to be right here and right now, in a perfect house and a perfect time period to be happy and healthy. I am also thankful for just being me, I have my flaws but I’ve also begun to feel proud of who I am. I’ve been so angry and bitter from time to time, but in the end it’s not as bad as I thought it was. I am just so thankful for being alive! :)
 
I'm really grateful for my family, friends and amazing partner who I've shared the past two years with. I'm also grateful for my access to education, and that I'm able to study something I'm interested in while being supported by my family.
Thank you for hosting the raffle! 😊
 
Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for my family and for their love and patience.

I'm thankful for my friends. I'm not the best at socializing so I don't have tons of friends, but I have a good amount, enough to satisfy me, and I've known a number of them for a long time now. Good, strong bonds and quality over quantity.

I'm thankful this year to be able to visit my best friend (who lives hours and states away) for a week for Thanksgiving and my birthday next Monday. I'm thankful that we're so close and have been able to be friends for so many years now. Hopefully that will continue for many more years to come as well.

I'm thankful that I'm around at this point in history. There are many bad things going on these days and which potentially loom in the future, but there are also a number of aspects to modern life that enhance our lives that previous generations did not have. I'm generally a pessimist and worry a great deal about what the future holds if we stay on the current trajectory, but to think of what our lives could be if people could sort some things out gives me some hope and something to strive to see realized.

I'm thankful that I'm an adult and was able to experience the transition from the 90s into the current day and to have that perspective. I could even do with being older, but hey, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I'm thankful for this community, the kind and generous people that can be found here, and the reasonable marketplaces to acquire Animal Crossing items, Pokémon and Pokémon items that got me to sign up back in 2015. I'm thankful for all the work the Staff put into events throughout the year to give the community fun activities to pass the time with and to enhance the various holidays.

I'm also thankful that the Pumpkin Pie collectible has returned and is tradable. I spent all my TBT during the Halloween event and the random factor to the pumpkin/key lime pie distribution doesn't get my hopes up, but even if not now or anytime soon, it opens the door to possibly getting my hands on one someday for my baked goods lineup.
 
What a fun idea! I’m thankful that I was recently promoted to a full-time children’s programming position at my local library. I’ll have my first day on Monday! I’ve worked 2-3 jobs at a time for all ten years of my adult life and never had health insurance, so knowing that I’ll be able to pay for my wisdom tooth removal, that I’ll be putting money into savings, and that I will be doing work I genuinely love is such a huge relief.
 
I'm thankful for my wonderful mentors and teachers at work who are always striving to help me become a better person and pushing me to grow every day. Sometimes people can create a toxic culture at work, but my coworkers and bosses are always trying to keep the mood positive. When you spend so much time at work as we all do (and especially in my profession!), it's probably more time than you spend with your family, so I am so thankful that it's a pleasant environment!
 
I'm thankful for my family.
This past year was a stressful mess, which ended up with me being homeless. Family took me in though and I've been back on my feet ever since.
I'm thankful for the opportunities presented to me throughout the year.
 
I’m extremely grateful for my new job. The hospital I worked at before was not a good fit for me, I went into work stressed every day, but I didn’t realize how bad it was because I was just happy to have a good job in my field. Since starting at this new hospital, I’ve realized how important a good work environment and supportive colleagues can be. I’ve always associated work with stress, so I can’t believe this is my life now. I get paid to do what I love every day and I’m so grateful for that.
 
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Not to be cliché, but I'm genuinely thankful for my family. This year is the second Thanksgiving without my mother and my first Thanksgiving without my grandmother (may they RIP). My grandfather was able to fly in to celebrate with us and my cousin and her family moved here from CA. My boyfriend is away in medical school, but he has time to video call and join in on our festivities (and will be back for Christmas). We have a big crowd this Thanksgiving and I am behind thankful for it. I'm grateful for the chance to spend more time with everyone and make more memories. Plus, the food is always beyond fantastic.
