Dear Addy,

I am sorry it is so hard right now. Sometimes a holiday (or bunches of holidays/anniversaries clumped together as you have this week) can stress us out ... even would-be joyous days, if we are vulnerable, can take a toll.

I am glad you will be talking to your doctor about tweaking meds.

I love Thanksgiving - which isn't celebrated this side of the ocean - and i miss it. My mother however tries to honor it for me a little by making turkey-somethingorother, which i think is sweet. One thing i do at the table which my parents often do not do very seriously, is ask each of us to say something we are thankful for.

One thing i am thankful for, Addy, is YOU.

Lara's description of your Thanksgiving meal together sounded wonderful. I'm sure whatever you prepared is/was delicious and that your family was... also thankful for your meal, your presence, for YOU.

Pulling for you to make it through today, and every day.

~ waves ~ with lots of love your way
