For the holidays

I really feel like the holidays are coming sooner than later I know sometimes it's hard for people around this time so I'm just like to appreciate those people that have it hard for the holidays and have a hard time because of different reasons I'm really missing my mom but I've learned a lot since she's been gone I'm taking good care of myself. I just want to tell everyone that out there that is having a hard time that you are important and then you can get through this you matter

I 100 percent agree with you, jessekay. I'm fairly new to this group, the holidays are really bad for me, since I don't have my parents or siblings alive and my husband and I have 2 furbabies. I often think of the "what ifs", especially when I go to their gravesites to put stuff on for holidays, etc. My husband doesn't have any parents and lost a brother in a freak accident at his job when he was 21. We both have each other to pull out of this rut and focus on making the holidays as special as possible. He's only now working 2 days a week and unemployed the rest because of covid. May everyone have a loving and peaceful Thanksgiving.

Don't let the SAFE Thanksgiving and the happy holidays end… Start Christmas decorating in your house soon and maybe the yard as well. It will cheer you up. Just don't invite people over because we need to hang in a little longer to stop the spread and deaths from covid. We have already put lights on our house and the front tree :-). We have Christmas presents for pets. Put on Alexa fireplace sounds or play some Christmas music. Watch a Christmas show. Have a long, happy, peaceful and SMALL & safe Christmas, everyone!

What a great message jessekay! I hope you have a peaceful holiday season.

This is certainly a remarkable year. I will spend thanksgiving alone, but I’m okay with that! I have plenty of projects to keep me busy and letters to write and zoom calls with cousins.

Wishing you all a wonderful season. Very thankful for this place!!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
