I’m struggling to find things to be thankful for this year. To be honest, there have been a lot of challenges:

• Lost dad in December 2024
• Had foot surgery
• Can barely walk and I’m considered handicapped
• Lost my job
• Lost my car
• Relationship issues

With all that going on, my mental health has been a challenge. Still, there have been things to be thankful for. I got a new job that pays really close to what I was making. I have health insurance for both me and Phillip, again. I have a roof over my head and plenty of food to eat. I have clothes to wear and a bed to sleep in.

Sometimes, it is a challenge to put things into perspective so I can see positives. The positives are always there, but when so many things are happening at once, it’s hard to see them.
