Finding Gratitude — Thanksgiving 2020
Look for the silver linings
Here in the U.S., it’s the week of Thanksgiving. We are in a time that continues to be like no other. My state is advising that we cancel this holiday this year…

I started to feel pre lockdown vibes a week ago Tuesday. I noticed that it was the 17th. And to the day, eight months ago (3/17), I walked out of our clinic for what I thought would be a two-week SIP (Shelter in Place) and returned three months later…

Talk of the holidays here in the U.S. and how they would be like no other. The businesses, like our clinic…
