What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

I will spend it with excellent, supportive friends. Actually looking forward to it.

Despite dealing with infidelity in my M, I have so much to be thankful for this year: my personal growth, the friends I have met here, the entire MB philosophy and its principles, and the general support of one and all on this forum.

What a wonderful group of people. While I am sorry about the fact the problems in our marriages have brought us together, I don't think any of us could wish for a stronger network of support at a most troubling time in our lives.

I am grateful to each and every one of you!

I'm going to spend the day with my cousins in NYC. Assuming, that is, that I survive the four-hour drive and the cold that seems to be coming on. This is the first time in a very long while that DD has really seemed too energectic to handle. And objectively speaking, she's having a pretty low-energy day herself! (Right now she's dragging the cat carrier around the living room and giggling.)

I am headed to a small town a couple of hours away where my Son and his W live. Son is a great cook so he is busy cooking today. I on the other hand can barely run a microwave.

Ha-Ha

Happy Turkey Day

Spending Thanksgiving with immediate and extended family. I too have much to be thankful for. Most notably, the peaceful place I'm in right now, despite the route here. Blessings to all.

Last year W and I were apart and she spent the day with OM.

This year since we are in recovery, we are going to spend the day together and cook our own meal. No families!

Warmest wishes to everyone!

I'm cooking for my mother, brother, father, husband, DD and DS. Small gathering but that's okay. I think in the evening I'll get my Christmas decorations hauled down from our battic (yes, where the bats live), and go to bed early so DD and I can hit the stores early!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving and my next year's holidays be better than this year's!!!

Well I'm cooking already. Spending Thanksgiving with my 2 boys - 18 and 21. This is a big change from all the other years where WH and I spent day with huge extended family. I'm very thankful that my boys are doing okay. I'm thankful That most of the troops have come back from overseas. Also thankful for the many troops that are still all over the world defending our country. God bless each and every one of them.

Nothing planned other than catching up on some work, probably grabbing something to eat at a restaurant and watching some football. At some point, I will play telephone roulette and try to talk with my family out of state.

Well, so far it sounds like everyone is making some kind of familial/friendship connection and will somehow make it through this holiday. That is great news.

...except for Foolish Bird, that is. Catching up on work? "Grabbing something to eat" at a restaurant? If it must be at a restaurant, with someone, I hope. I don't know your situation, but I certainly hope there will be more to your Thanksiving day than what you posted. I hope you have someone - a close friend, perhaps? - to share your day with. Something you can give thanks for?

No, it will just be me. And yes, I am thankful for many things, but not the position in which I find myself presently -- as a WS. But that will change.

My best friend is the one I hurt with this A. Other friends, quite candidly, don't really matter now. But I am thankful, just the same, for having so many years of happiness, the hope for a better tomorrow, for my family and all the weirdness connected to that, and some personal growth I am experiencing.

I tend to reflect on those things for which I am thankful more than once a year. I guess that attitude prevents me from getting bummed out on a day like tomorrow -- in this case, just another Thursday. But to those celebrating with friends and family, I must confess a degree of admiration.

All the best to everyone. Regardless of one's politics, we have so much to be thankful for in this country.
