We had Thanksgiving in our own home, after being homeless for 7 months. My kids finally have their own rooms again and we have our dogs back. Life is good.

Linda Truax's avatar

That is certainly worth celebrating…I'm sure you worked hard to get back to that…congratulations!

Colleen's avatar

Way to go! I am glad to hear you get outside now and then.

I'm still waiting for my good news. It's the day Trump is out of the white house. Hopefully he lands in a jail house.

Aaron, I just love your smile when talking about your marathon training. You are the best.💕 I can see myself as your baba or babka. Your perseverance and honesty fills me with hope for your generation. And remember as Gabor Mate says there’s The Myth of Normal. Best wishes. Keep up the amazing work.

My good news is that a black cat I adopted from the shelter turned out to be a pure Bombay, the most gorgeous and loving cat but acts like a dog. 🐕

Alierias's avatar

How can you tell?

Our huge black cat also thinks he’s a dog🤔

gerri caldarola's avatar

We had a cat in the 70s like that too... glad to hear we were not the only ones

Janet Moos's avatar

Bombays are very special cats! We had a cat that was part Bombay and wow, was she smart!

Angelica Reyes's avatar

Those are the best kind of cats. 😸

Mike Hammer's avatar

He’s only 1 ½ and powered by rocket fuel. He keeps me in shape!

Congratulations! That's incredible news. 23 years for me.

Terri's avatar

Happy AA birthday, wish you a lifetime more!

Louise Edington's avatar

So much goodness. My good news is that I walked/ran my first ever 10k 2 weeks before my 66th birthday and raised over $1300 for the food bank. I was the top individual fund raiser.

AND the numbers that took part in the 5/10k were double from last year.

Benjamin R Sutton's avatar

I am an American in Sweden trying to find a medical treatment or cure for my rare disease, ataxia. I met with a neurologist on Thursday for the first time, and I hope that we can work on a gene therapy. I really appreciate you sharing this!

Louise Edington's avatar

That’s fabulous! I hope it works out :)

Benjamin R Sutton's avatar

I’m seeing a lot of gene therapy out of the UK, I think the treatment or cure for ataxia is within our lifetime!

Jaclyn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Brit's avatar

I hope you find something! Let me know because I also have ataxia, it's a symptom of Functional Neurological Disorder in me. We can be rare together!

I smacked my arm across my partner's face while I was half asleep the other night 😳 my sleep meds had started wearing off early. I feel terrible still! (Better than throwing a cup of juice all over myself though!) Take care friend 😊

Benjamin R Sutton's avatar

Ooh!! Let’s talk more. I can’t figure out how to DM you. Anyway, SCA8 herr

sunsand's avatar

Brings a smile to faces & actual fungible value too - a terrific achievement!😎

Kim Mccleerey's avatar

good news for me is my son is living with me hadn't seen him in three years. and yesterday we bought a car together. I have been without a vehicle for a year. so we are both very happy 😊. Thank you Aaron we both love watching you and listening to your insight on what is happening in this crazy world 🌎 much love and respect and gratitude for you.

Angelica Reyes's avatar

I felt that! Reunion is amazing. 🥰

Dana Batista (Graham)'s avatar

A piece of good news about me…? I finished writing my book. Now I need to do some basic editing before I shop around but it’s done. That’s a really big deal for me.

Diane Marie Fallon's avatar

Congratulatios Aaron. You deserve everything good to come along in these uncertain times. We love your substack. You stay on top of everything.

sunsand's avatar

That’s a big deal, period ! Writers are one of the most vulnerable of artists. Thx for sharing😉

Catherine LD's avatar

Our local pet store donated 2000 pounds of dog food to a local food bank, knowing if the furry friends’ people can’t eat, they can’t either.

AuntTami's avatar

I recently attended my 50th high school class reunion. I have reconnected with several of my friends and at least once a week. I’m meeting with someone. For years I lived alone with very limited contact with anybody so this is very good news.

Angelica Reyes's avatar

Awesome. Isolation is not good for us. Community is so important!

AuntTami's avatar

You are so right thank you

Terri's avatar

Awesome. A gift to connect. I am happy for you!

Deb Fyfe's avatar

That is incredible news! It's so much harder when we get older. I'm so happy for you! 🔥👏🏼

Lulu's avatar

As a big animal rescue person, thank you! Remember, the shelters are full due to people being sent away—open your hearts and homes💕

RM Cavallo's avatar

Thank you for this message. It is another aspect to the cruelty of this regime. I firmly believe that a special bond develops with rescued pets and their people.

Louise Edington's avatar

We have 5 rescued cats. Would not do it any other way

Joan  Boling's avatar

I have 2, the only way for me

HELGA D KIVISTO's avatar

We have two shelter cats that we first fostered and then adopted. They love my husband!

Marjory Button's avatar

We did & now I have the cutest tiny rescue Pomeranian lapdog EVER‼️

RM Cavallo's avatar

My mom adopted a chihuahua Pomeranian mix rescue in 2012. When she passed in 2016, I adopted him and was lucky to have him five more years. I look forward to adopting a rescue again when I’m able. Until then I try to support local shelters.

I work with young people (14-22) trying to earn their HS diploma. They often are poor and have a history of trauma. Two current students sent me messages of "Happy Thanksgiving" and one of my 2022 grads was the CNA helping my mom.

Deb Fyfe's avatar

That's awesome! ♥️🔥

Dr. Edith's avatar

My good news is actually about the grandson - starts his first job today. I texted him a ‘Have a great day at work’ text (surprised when he answered).

Tori Knows Nottin's avatar

My good news is I started back to work again. Somewhere I feel loved and appreciated! it truly makes a difference.

Sarah Brown's avatar

I got a job in my new field for my dream company that I'm genuinely loving and my youngest turns 18 today!

Mary Dougherty's avatar

My good news is I found someone who's going to plow out my driveway and my sidewalk because I'm just too damn old to do it anymore. LOL

Cherae Stone's avatar

No small thing! Happy for you!

Catherine Hollingsworth's avatar

I survived an earthquake here in Alaska on Thanksgiving morning..minor bruises only!

Cherae Stone's avatar

Oh, how scary! Glad you’re OK.

Angelica Reyes's avatar

😳 Glad you’re ok.
