In this time of thanks, I understand how many are having a difficult time finding that feeling.

In this time when we are supposed to be gathering with family and loved ones, many of us only have a virtual connection to them.

In this time of year that is supposed to bring holiday cheer, many are wondering how they will pay their bills through the end of the year.

In this time when so much feels in constant flux, I know that I do not hold the power to set anything right with these words.

But know still that this is a general wish for your wellbeing and success. Know that there is someone out there wishing you well and hoping things turns around for you.

For we are starting to see some lights at the end of this tunnel. Just as this point on the calendar feels nothing like it did last year, the same point next year also holds the promise of difference. In time, this will be a year we tell stories about, stories that may even define us, because of how much we went through and still came out the other side.

Until then, may your holiday season start with some peace. May you be able to find that feeling in whatever space (no matter how small) it lives, and may you be able to take a moment to take it in and gain the perspective that comes with calm.
