Have a Wonderful Holiday Weekend

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Regardless of how you spend this coming holiday, I wish you peace, hope, and happiness.

Remember, no matter what is going on in your life this holiday season, you are not alone. Healing is possible for all survivors, and all people dealing with mental health issues. This holiday may not find you where you want to be, but the journey to that goal is ongoing, and you can get there.

In the mean time, take a moment to give yourself credit for being here. Personally, I am grateful that you are.

For myself, I will spend much of the holidays recharging. Working a regular schedule, but not traveling, which affords me the possibility to enjoy some time with my wife, and the comforts of home. It’s always nice to get a chance to do that before the hustle and bustle of it all starts again!

In the end, it always comes back to taking care of yourself. 😉

To further growth and healing in 2017!

    So, the thing I want us to talk about this year is not just encouragement to call a hotline or to reach out to a friend for help, or even to tell our stories and erase the stigma around mental health issues. I want us to consider doing more than that. I want us, as a society, to figure out how to provide hope. As much value as there is in all of those other things if I can’t provide some hope that things will get better, that we are working and advocating for things to get better across all areas of our culture, then I can’t honestly say that there is a reason for someone to hope, and at the end of the day, the thing that truly prevented me from taking my own life when I was at my worst, was the hope that life wouldn’t always be that painful.

    As it turned out, my life wasn’t always that painful, and even in times of pain, I can look back and remember that.

    How do we provide that hope for others who have been beaten down and worn out with life right now? Where does their hope come from?

    I’ll be hosting the March edition of the Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse later this month, and given my own Irish heritage, and this being the month we celebrate the Irish with St. Patrick’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to make the theme of this year one that speaks to the Irish part…

      I saw this over the weekend while window shopping, and it struck me as something very appropriate for my life. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the plot, why things happened, why my childhood was what it was, why I was the way I was, etc. In all that time,…
