Sadly, we’re at the 250K statistic of Covid-19 deaths.  Most of us won’t be celebrating the holidays as we had hoped in order to keep our loved ones and ourselves safe.  Although I cherish doing Thanksgiving “with myself” (alone), it’s tough this year because it will also be my 72nd birthday.  But, it is what it is, eh?

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful that a Facebook friend posted this check list of wisdom for our mental-health well-being.  Hope it helps you too.
