Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away. For much of the country that means copious amounts of food, time with family, a lifetime of special Holiday memories, feverish shopping, and the gateway to the Christmas, Hanukah, and New Years holidays. It is also a time to reflect and to give thanks, something most of us should probably do more often but take this special opportunity to truly reflect on our blessings.

For many, however, the Holiday season kicking off this week is not nearly so festive or happy. In fact, it can be a very difficult time because it can remind us of all the things we don't have. For those rejected by friends and family all we've got to cling to is painful memories of times gone by. For those struggling financially it is a reminder of all the things we can't afford. For those who are alone it can easily make us feel more alone. All these things can make the Holidays something to survive, not something to enjoy.
