I was gently reminded today that Thanksgiving is about more than just eating. And although many people don't like this holiday because of its foundations, I love it. It gives me a much-needed respite from college to spend time with loved ones. Of course, Friday morning shopping and hustling from my hometown to my boyfriend's can be stressful as well. And also, the food! My mom only makes her home-made stuffing once a year, and intend to enjoy it + leftovers!

I am entirely thankful for all of you, my watchers. When I felt at rock bottom last week, you flocked to make sure I was OK and to give me solid advice for dealing with new found problems of anxiety and depression. And while I still haven't been able to receive the much-needed professional help that I need, you all made me feel much better and more able to carry on.

Happy holidays to you and yours, no matter what you preach or where you reside!
