Happy Thursday, friends!
And Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers! I hope you’re all enjoying plenty of delicious eats and good times with family and friends while the rest of us have to work and eat cold leftovers. Bitter? Who, me? Never 😉 I may not be sitting down to a delicious turkey dinner tonight, but I do have plenty to be thankful for; and in the spirit of the holidays, I’m taking a break from my regular Thinking Out Loud posts so that I can spend a minute or two giving props to one of those things…
You guys.
Mmm hmm. Readers. Friends. Blends… The random person who stumbled across Spoons by searching “is it safe to share a spoon?” I’m thankful for each and every one of you. It may sound a bit cliche, but blogging has been such a huge blessing for me and it’s honestly hard to imagine life without it.
So thank you.
For every comment, every tweet, every e-mail… for simply being you. I’m pretty sure that I’ll never manage to properly express how much it means to me, but I just wanted to say that you guys kind of rock my socks off.
Aaaaand I’m seriously getting a little misty-eyed over here. Wow. Was not expecting that one… Does anyone else do the “fan-the-face-like-crazy” technique when the tears threaten to come? Because that’s exactly what I’m doing right now (when I’m not typing, obviously). So on that more humorous note, off I go.
Enjoy your day, enjoy your Thanksgiving if you’re celebrating, and enjoy all of life’s blessings 😀
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! It’s a time for gratitude and celebration, and I’m glad to hear that you’re finding things to be thankful for. While it’s common for people in the United States to gather with loved ones and enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast, it’s understandable that not everyone has the same opportunity. Even if you’re not able to partake in a traditional Thanksgiving celebration, taking a moment to reflect on and appreciate the things you’re grateful for is a wonderful way to embrace the holiday spirit. Gratitude can help foster a positive mindset and bring awareness to the blessings in our lives, big or small.
I read this on Thursday but was on my phone at my family’s and didn’t have a chance to respond. What a lovely post!! I’m thankful for so many things, including you!!!! xo
Right back at ya. Thank you for blogging, reading, commenting and just being you. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you though your blog so thank you.
You are such a sweetheart! THANK YOU for your inspiring posts – your warmth, support and encouragement!
Awww, love you lady!! And though I can’t remember how I stumbled over Spoons all those years ago, but I’m forever grateful that I did and SO happy that you decided to come back…you know, after abandoning me! 😉 xoxo
Thank YOU for always sharing your thoughts with such honesty! I love checking out this blog everyday because I always leave with a smile. And who doesn’t fan their face when they start to cry? Isn’t that the universal technique? It works like 40% of the time.
That’s random google search is hilarious!
Thanks for all of your amazing posts. Your writing is always so enjoyable, and Spoons is always one of my fave places to visit 🙂 Have a great weekend.
Thank you for being you!!
I hope you are enjoying your time with J.
Beautiful words. Happy Thanksgiving!
Ahh I just love you, Amanda! Thank you for being my blogging role model (seriously) and for being such a genuine blogger. Hope you had a wonderful day!
Thank you Amanda for being you and continuing to inspire and be a huge help to others!
I’ll dedicate my turkey sandwich to you.
Thank YOU too! And Happy Thanksgiving from America!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you,

ALways makes me smile!
I am thankful that I finally found my long lost sister!!
Such a lovely post, enjoy your day and your time with your man xo
So thankful for you and your bog and your patient responses to my email. Thankful that you are recovered from your ED hell and are such a beautiful hearted person.
Like when I can’t remember that you are allergic to nuts and do not eat gluten free intentionally!
Ha Ha! I’m loving the fanning the face picture in my mind! I would say, “I’m getting verklempt!”

Enjoy your day…and maybe eat some stuffing and mashed potatoes to celebrate your American friends. 😉
Thank YOU for being writing this blog, allowing me to discover it and therefore letting me get to know you as the wonderful person and great friend that you are. <3
Lovely post. 🙂
Haha you’re so cute! I love reading your blog! Have a happy Thursday!
And I am thankful for YOU!! Keep your awesome posts and recipes coming :).
Hi Amanda! I’m relatively new to your blog and I’m loving it so far. Can’t believe I hadn’t found you sooner! I’m a fellow Canadian so I’m not getting any turkey today either. Not going to lie though. My boyfriend is half American so I get a thanksgiving feast this Saturday. Can’t wait! I hope you have a nice day :).
Love you! Enjoy your time with J 😉
Happy Thanksgiving, Amanda! I hope you enjoy your week with Jay to the fullest and we’ll be thankful to have you back afterwards 😉 I wish you a heap of delicious eats today!
We’re thankful for you, too!!
Thank you Amanda for your sweet words. It is pretty awesome the impact one person can make by sharing her story. I look forward to reading your daily musings. There is comfort knowing I have a connection to someone over a thousand miles away. Have a terrific Thursday!
Thank you back! And yes, I will eat turkey without you, but I’ll have an extra slice of pie in your honor.
