Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  And if it is not happy as you read this it might get a bit better with some reflection and/or action.  If you are unhappy because you lost someone you love who made for past Happy Thanksgivings, then your sadness is in part because this was a wonderful person in your life.  We are sad when we lose the gift or a living relationship, but we did have this wonderful person in our life at one time.  We lost a gift, but it was nonetheless a gift.  For some of us, we are not with family or friends we love on this day.  When this happens to me, I try to plan for being of service to others who might be struggling this day.  I remember getting together with  other single persons who were away from family and making a Thanksgiving together at one of our apartments.  In other words you don't have to be alone and lonely.  For some of us, our solutions for loneliness are very self-destructive.  In San Francisco, we call it "Taking It To The Bridge."
