I would like to wish all my American friends a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. I miss celebrating this holiday; as much as it was new to me when I moved to North Carolina in the beginning of the nineties, it was as difficult not to celebrate it when I moved back to Europe again.Hopefully the tryptophan in the turkey will not make you as sleepy as it made me, when I celebrated my first Thanksgiving with my very good friends in the US. I fell asleep on their sofa after the feast and they took a picture of me to prove it (very embarrassing!)
The older I get the more I realize how difficult it is to find really good friends; it was easier when I was younger. There is nothing like a good friend, at least one, to make you forget your troubles and cheer you up when you are feeling down.
I wish you all a very pleasant evening with your friends and family.

Zuzanna,
Thank you for the thanksgivings day wish. I had the same experience when we came back to Europe to live - being in-between cultures is at at times not comfortable.
I wish I could sleep that easily! At least they took a good pic of you:)
You're not wrong about finding real friends and I don't think you should be embarrassed about that photo, it's kind of cute!
Thanksgiving is also a bit of a mystery to me even after 13 years here, but I will miss it if I ever have to leave the US so have a great thanksgiving day yourself even if you have to go to work!

I love the picture of you napping. You capture a Thanksgiving tradition beautifully.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate and a Happy Thursday just to celebrate.Thursday Thirteen

Happy Thanksgiving memories!

You cheer ME up, dear friend!
Happy Thanksgiving to you...
I'll be at work most of the day, so I'll steer clear of the turkey.
I am grateful for you today.
happy thanksgiving Zuzanna!

what a great picture Zuzana! so cute and comfy.
you can still have a few friends over for a meal now and again. I know what you mean about friends, I have a few close ones, that is all I need.
I have met many fantastic cyber friends also! like you for one.
hey, I love your outfit! Do you still have that skirt! Happy Thanksgiving, have a lovely weekend.
You know what Zuzana, we are really missing out here in Europe. But I can't think of any good reason why we can't also celebrate Thanksgiving so here goes - I wish you and all your friends a Happy Thanksgiving Day!
I love my country (as I suppose everyone does) and I'm immensely proud of the fact that we take a day out to thank God for the blessings of the past year.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone...wherever you live!
You look like the Sleeping Beauty!
ha. a lovely picture...sleeping beauty indeed. smiles. thank you for your warm words and comments always. hope you have an amazing day as well!
Indeed, when adults, it's a bit harder to find the kind of friend one needs and wants. Maybe we get more specific as to what we look for in a friend? But when we find it...there are no words to describe the feeling! Even if they are not close by, and live in far away countries. Something to be thankful for on this day, wouldn't you agree?
Oh, Zuzana, what a sweet post, and you look so beautiful asleep on the sofa. I treasure your visits to my blog and the friendship that we are sharing. Can you see me? I'm waving 'Hi' and sending you hugs! Have a wonderful day.
:)

Wishing you and yours the most blessed of days as we break bread with friends and family or spend our time as a volunteer with any one of the numerous charities in need of our time and talents.
Peace, plenty, prosperity - my wish for the United States of America.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment on my blog today♥
I am thankful for you, dear bloggy friend! That photo of you napping after a feast is adorable and quite the norm following such a large meal!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Gaelikaa nabbed it. Sleeping Beauty is exactly right. Sweet post, my dear friend. :)
At least you aren't drooling all over yourself or have your mouth hanging open. And your friends were nice enough not to draw all over you with a marker! LOL
I'm so used to seeing you with black hair, the blonde was a bit of a shock!
There is no reason you couldn't still celebrate Thanksgiving just because you no longer live in North Carolina. You could take the day off work, invite a few friends over and have a wonderful meal. It doesn't even have to be a turkey dinner. :)
Thank you so much for your visit!
Happy day to you and I love the photo of you on TG. It is an oh so familiar sight :)!
PS True about friends. They are precious!
It's just me and the pets today. No turkey. Chicken salad was the menu! Husband is working a 42 hour shift at the hospital.

That is a comfy, cosy picture, and captures Thanksgiving for sure.
The evening here was simply amazing, Zuzana! Wish you could have joined us!!
so you were caught napping! nice picture..
you are right.. its easy to make friends while young.... as true friends too
Happy thanks giving
i'm looking forward to the triptophan! :-) and i'll need it after the frenzy of cooking (since my thanksgiving not 'til saturday) i'm doing, starting now. :-)

Sorry I'm so late to the party :) Thank you for the good wishes. And you can celebrate Thanksgiving no matter where you are! Maybe you could start a new tradition where you are. Love the pic of you on your first Thanksgiving - so peaceful! We spent all of yesterday lazing around...
=Rosezilla,
thank you so much and I think your idea sound wonderful, I might start a new tradition here.;)
