Happy Thanksgiving! I'm also thankful for all the big things that have already been mentioned. I'm also thankful for little things. This past week, we've been enjoying a Steller's Jay which has been coming to our backyard to feed on peanuts. My neighbourhood does not have a lot of colourful birds and I've never seen a Steller's Jay in the city before, so this bird has provided a lot of entertainment! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXGwnYEzFsM

I'm culturally appropriating your Thanksgiving! Grateful for so much.... for my amazing family in the Real World who keep me sane and for the wonderful family here in the ether, who feed my own particular insanity! So grateful to Q3 and to everyone who contributes here, however much or little because the sum total is Atop in all its diversity.I have been moved by some things written here today...everyone has their story and their cross to bear. I'm grateful to those who share part of themselves in these pages. Happy Thanksgiving!

As we laid our grandpa to rest today and many tears were cried there is still so much to be grateful for. He kept his humor until the very end and was lucky to recognize everyone until the end. He will be deeply missed. I want to thank him for showing me how a tree is felled, wood is made, bees are kept and honey is won. For giving us the freedom to let us hammer the most crooked nail into the filthiest piece of wood to our hearts desire. On Saturday my brother and I shared beautiful quite time with him and goodbye, before he passed on Monday. I'm am very grateful for this. Even on this day I can‘t help but feel overcome by the love of our family coming together. My brothers girlfriend making a huge effort to be here and us picking up my uncles boyfriend from the train station and taking him with us. Like you before I'm grateful for my family and friends, for my health, that I can walk, talk and think for myself. I'm grateful for Adam and the things he has moved in my life, his inspiration. I'm thankful for this forum of kind-hearted people, who give me, a young person, hope and faith in humanity with their dignity and manner of respect. I was moved by heartfelt stories before mine...thank you! Big huggs to all of you
