I understand what you’re going through. I’ve always suffered through the holidays due to past trauma. It seems to get worse and not easier. I wonder why I always looked to the future for things to get better or easier? I haven’t mastered the art of living in the moment and appreciating those things I have in this moment. That’s something I hope to work on.

I have a grandchild I don’t get to see. I’m sad about that. I find myself wishing I’d had more kids so that maybe I could have a family right now. I totally understand your struggle as I am going through it with you.

What could we do to make things better? In this moment? Do you have a pet to hug? Can you take a nice walk? I plan to love on my fur babies and spend some time outside.

I’m here to talk if you need someone to listen. I hope we can look forward to some happier days again. That’s what I am working toward. That and enjoying what’s good right now like my sweet fur babies while I still have them. [emoji3590]
