Holidays

Right now I pretty much just hate the thought of Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or New Years!!!  Sounds kind of negative, huh?!!  It has become our reality as we live with a daughter who goes into major panic / anxiety mode when these major holidays come around!!!  I'll stay home, I'll eat nothing, I'll see no one......if I could just not go to the place where my daughter goes around the holidays!!!

Yes, disappointment comes when we are STILL dealing with this, yet I KNOW we have made progress.  For some reason, the holidays are MAJOR triggers.  We have been doing so well that this feels like such a setback / discouragement, yet, once again, I have to focus on how far we have come.....

So, yes, we have been having some hard days!  Days where I want to just bury my head under my pillow....  I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!  It has been helpful for me to focus on things I am thankful for.  Eph 5:20 "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."  I am struggling to be thankful for all things as I should...
