Pum-Pum Pum-Pum Pumpkin Pie
I like turkey -- the dressing's cool.....
With potatoes round a gravy pool,.....
The thing that really makes me sigh.....
Is pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie!.....
When it is Thanksgiving Day.....
Aunt Edna comes from far away......
I kiss her cheek, it makes her cry,.....
I do it all for pumpkin pie.......
Oh! Pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie!...
The tables set, I bow my head,.....
Then my private prayer is said,.....
"Thanks for your blessing from on high,.....
This pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie!".....
The time is close, I start to stutter....
And stick my finger in the butter......
As mom asks, "Now?" "Oh! Yeah!" I cry,.....
"A big HIGH FIVE for pumpkin pie!.....
Yes!!! Pum-pum, pum-pum, pumpkin pie!".....

Circle of Love
Holidays can be bittersweet when beloved family members or friends are missing from the gathering. This "circle of love" is a lovely way to honor their memory.
"The most important part of Thanksgiving for my family is what we call the Circle of Love. We hold hands in a 'circle' of sorts (we usually have about 50 people so we're really winding through several rooms) and say a prayer. We remember family members who have passed on and anyone can chime in with a prayer or thanks." - Sarah E Crowder

The Elf! Need I say more?
It's my favorite Christmas movie. A couple of years ago I went to the musical, it was amazing!
Let's see. My mom's sweet potato casserole. Pajamas. I have FIVE days off in a row! Christmas trees. Shopping.
I am just excited. However, tomorrow, I plan to rest! It will be good not to have to be anywhere, sleep in, and just relax!

"How to Overcome Loneliness When Surrounded by People
Loneliness is one of the most challenging feelings to overcome. For those of us that suffer from loneliness, it is emotionally crippling and can lead us into depression. In fact, the most frustrating part of loneliness is that even though we might be surrounded by people, we still feel alone and disconnected. Luckily, though, there are many things we can do to overcome loneliness. Don’t give up, there are people who care about you. You will be able to get through your loneliness if you stick with it.
1. Recognize that being lonely and being alone are two different things.
2. Try to better understand your loneliness.
3. Be true to yourself.
4. Avoid people who make you feel bad.
5. Go somewhere you'll be welcomed."
Today, I again... still... am feeling extremely lonely. I am grateful for my therapists, for moving forward even when I don't want to, for the sun rising and for hearing that things will get better as I acknowledge this and look for something more in my life. Acknowledging that this ***loneliness*** is holding me back from having the life I want to create for myself... recognizing I am worthy of healthy, loving friendships... coming to terms with the fact that my actions CAN change my thoughts, not the other way around.
