I follow many writers, journalists, and historians on the “Stack” these days, but I always turn to your postings 1st, to set the tone for the day/week. You manage to balance seriousness with some levity, and graciously share yourself, and life, and wisdom. I’m grateful for you and the others that guide, and hold my hand in these days of uncertainty. Thank you for your work and wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.
That’s very kind. As I said, I’m just discovering this kind of community journalism. Still learning the ropes, still need to find ways to integrate what I’m working on with what you all know and understand. But it’s hugely rewarding (in most ways!).
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I was very disappointed when ABC dropped you, and I have boycotted them ever since. However, I am glad that you are here and look forward to your postings.
As you shared your thankfulness for having us as readers in your life, I am sure I speak for many that thank you for being in our lives now. I don't remember how I stumbled onto Substack, but I am so glad that I did. I only read three Substacks on a daily basis- and yours is one of the first! Wishing you and your family health, happiness and love.
Beautiful poem - Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Moran Family - so glad you are here on Substack in continuing your journey as a independent journalist- we are grateful to have you!
Yes, I am grateful for you and others I follow. I am grateful for you and other’s who have been blessed with your knowledge and communication skills. I believe life is meant to be simple and the day that comes back I will be grateful again. I thank you once again for you telling the truth in order for us to hold on to our freedoms. I will always support you for what you are doing for all of us.
"One forgets about parenthood. The on-and-on-ness of it." How shrewd for you to recognize the wisdom of that line and kudos to the one who wrote it. My nest is empty these days and I am gratefully watching a brood of grandchildren also moving on in the world. It is both joyful and bittersweet. I am thankful for your insight and prose on Substack and the community that you are creating. Happy Thanksgiving!
I am truly grateful for you, Terry, the inspiring words, honest, compassionate reporting, hope when it may feel like there is none, redirecting me back to peaceful thinking and feelings. We are all blessed and thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your lovely family, Terry. Gratitude. Such a heavy word for so many happy and beautiful feelings. Selfishly, I am grateful that you left ABC and are sharing yourself with us on Substack. I am grateful every single day when I open my eyes each morning. Yes, I was given life by God and the enduring love of my parents. I was also given life by an unknown and unselfish man who cared enough to be an organ donor. #organownerbecomeadonor. Happy Thanksgiving to all and a giant prayer for Ukraine. Thank you. 💚♻️
Love your gratitude for the hope Terry inspires in our Substack Community through his skillfully written words, and your reminder after your personal miracle, to support organ donors, and send BIG prayers for Ukraine, Susanne!🙏🏻
Thank you. I love our country. I liked it a lot better when we didn’t have to worry that our country would make good on the promises it made to a democracy up against Russia. And I also seem to rember arms President Biden promised to Ukraine that this administration halted.
It is clear to me that Felon47’s 28 Point Plan was directly copied from Putin’s playbook. I have heard that the awkward Russian translation through Google provides evidence for this assumption.
I believe Putin has enough blackmail material to control the actions of our nation’s leader. When will Felon47 finally be charged with TREASON?
Expressing gratitude is a win-win for the giver and the receiver. It deflects from negativity and focuses on things that are most important. It’s therapeutic. Years ago, when I had DBT at a difficult time in my life, I learned to think daily of three things I was grateful for.
Thank goodness for Thanksgiving, Terry Moran, and this community.
Both poems so rich! The first serene as satin, and Hopkins' bursting with joy. You're making my Sundays happy with a new ritual, Terry! Thank you so much.
You have been a blessing to me since you appeared on Substack. Your decency, humanity, clarity and balance have helped me through some bouts of despair as Trump seemed to have the upper hand. Thankfully, more and more people are realizing he has empty hands and a twisted heart. I love James Wright. "Blessings" is transcendent. "Hook" is stark and austere but shows kindness of a stranger. Hopkins and his delight in language is skin-tingling. I enjoy you and Joanna and am waiting for more. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

I’m sure you’ll get better as you go along.
You took the thoughts right out of my heart.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I was very disappointed when ABC dropped you, and I have boycotted them ever since. However, I am glad that you are here and look forward to your postings.

As usual, Terry, you hit a golden spot of generosity, caring, love with your candor.
Thank you for all your gifts you are giving us.

Thanks! Don’t give up the ship!
Thanks for the earlier like, Terry. I'd certainly like to get to talk to you more in depth.
Well said indeed. So happy to have you on Independent and truthful media

Beautiful family, perfect poem. So happy you are sharing your meaningful work and positivity here with us!
Thanks, Rose. I loved my time at ABC, and I am looking forward to this new media with even more enthusiasm!
Happy Thanksgiving to the Morans, and to all here!
And to you and yours, Bridget!

I hadn’t read “Hook” in years, Doris. Thanks for bringing it back to me. And Happy Thanksgiving!
