1. Vet Centers for veterans (they offer free counseling for combat and MST survivors, as well as free social activities and other resources)

2. People checking up on me (how sweet; I feel the love!)

3. Free Thanksgiving Dinner from the Vet Center (if you're a veteran or know a veteran, you can call a local Vet Center to see if there are any Thanksgiving Dinners left to give away; if you are a civilian, you can call either 3-1-1 or 2-1-1 in your area to ask for resources for free Thanksgiving Dinner giveaways for needy families and individuals)

4. Holidays (even though I spend them alone, I find ways to make them feel special and worthwhile - at least online)

5. Giving (there's nothing like the spirit of giving, which is a form of helping; it feels great to help brighten someone else's day and sometimes to also declutter)
