Getting by with a lot of help from my friends

It has been a hard last few days for me and I haven’t really had it in me to communicate. But, I really wanted to make sure that I got this post out.

I have started to write this post a few times and not finished. But, this being the eve of Thanksgiving, it felt like the right time to take a moment to talk about how grateful I am for my wonderful support system.

I have said thank you before but I just can’t fully express how grateful I am for all the amazing people in my life.

I really don’t think that I would have made it this far without all of you. People have bought me food, brought me groceries, sent me cards and books. I have received constant prayers and well wishes. And it has meant everything to me.

So much of life has been a battle lately. I am struggling to cook, clean, take care of myself. I am locked in constant battle with my disability insurance provider and I am struggling to afford things.

But, at all the moments that have felt the darkest, there has been someone who reached out to me and offered help. Your help, your thoughts, your prayers. That and my faith are really what has kept me going.

And so I say thank you to all of you out there that have shown me that you are a part of my tribe. I feel so fortunate to have you all in my life. You are all a blessing to me.

The happiest of Thanksgivings to all of you.
