Today is American Thanksgiving Day

Among the things I am thankful for in 2020 are all the folks here at PMR/GCAuk. You've all been so helpful and supportive, and above all, kind, from my very first visit.

We may never meet in person, but we still hold hands on this journey. Thank you, my friends.

I hope you managed to have a good Thanksgiving in spite of all that is happening. Being new to this journey we are on, I have to say, that I totally and utterly agree with your sentiments.

Had a wonderful time, thanks.

Believe it or not, this is not the worst of times. It may not be the best, but it's not the worst.

And by this time next year, if everyone abides by the rules and gets vaccinated when it's their turn, next year is going to be a blast.

What a lovely heartfelt thing to say and I couldn't agree more on all counts. Your last paragraph made me feel quite emotional, as I know that if in another life, I were to meet certain people off this forum, we would definitely form a strong friendship. But in the absence of that....I loved the thought that we're all holding each others hand. So comforting.It's oh so easy for this condition and it's host of varying medications to cause us to often feel, 'frustrated', 'disappointed', 'isolated', 'let down', 'victimised', 'alone', 'scared', 'confused', etc......and we can repeatedly end up asking ourselves; "Why me?" It's so important to recognise the many blessings we all have and be thankful for them.....however big......or small!I know this is a little late, but Happy Thanksgiving.

You, too. We're in self-imposed lock down as cases are rising alarmingly in towns just a few miles down the road. We walk the beach every day with the dog, and you can bet no one else is anywhere in sight in November, even with the unseasonably warm days we've been having.

The Lucky Dog is wearing her winter fur, and we dress as though we're on the ski slopes. We've got miles of beauty all to ourselves.

Take all precautions to stay well. This too shall pass, and we want to be there when the party starts!
