Those of us in the United States will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday. This is a day to reflect on what makes you thankful in your life...and also a day to eat much too much turkey, stuffing, mashers and cranberry sauce.

I extend a Happy Thanksgiving to all of my new found friends on HDAC and wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season.

I am thankful for the response among family and friends to support our family after what has been a very tumultuous year. Material things can come and go, but a true friend is worth liquid gold!

Happy Thanksgiving!
PattyThanks!

I am thankful for so many things in my life..My boys {all 3, Hubby included LOL} I cant imagine a day without them in my life. My family who supports me in every way. My friends- I couldnt get through life with out them, they will tell me how it is, they are there to laugh and cry with, and so much more!! For the people I have met here and am able to come to with any situation. For finding Face Book and reconnecting some really old-lost friendships. I shouldnt say this out loud but for a November with out any major issues occuring with Dad {for yrs Nov seems to be when things go bad}. For a doctor who calls in my anti dep meds with out asking to many questions LOL.

Most of all this year I am Thankful I have spent this past year coming to terms with so much. It has taken almost 6 years since hearing of HD but I have found my way back to ME {with help from so many!!} I love being me and I love being a Mom. I have found my place in the HD community both locally and Nationally which has helped me personally to prioritize my life with HD. I still may become a victim of HD but I am not going quietly because I have a full life to live and 2 great kids to raise!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone-----Dont eat to much and if do I hope you have elastic waist pants on and a comfortable couch for the after dinner nap!!!!

I am very thankful that today we received the news that my daughter will not have to wait for a hearing or see another Dr. for her SSDI - it has been approved! Could not have asked for anthing better - except a cure for HD.
I am thankful.

I am thankful for my good health as a caregiver so I can help my spouse with hd and be there for my children in many ways. I am also thankful for all the support systems I have found including this one to give me the knowledge and comfort of others going through stressful and difficult times as I experience. You help me see the cup half full, not half empty as the analogy goes. I scan message board daily now . If I can share with others as well as receive info and humor from postings you have improved my day. Thank you all on message board and the blessings from religion as my divine intervention.
