Whatever Your Holiday Looks Like, I Hope You Enjoy It

Remember, this season can be a lot of things to different people. Some happy, some sad. Some will be adjusting to new traditions as their families change, some will be mourning the family they no longer have, and others will spend the day overseas away from their families, or alone with their own space.

Whether your holiday this year means celebrating Papa Noel’s arrival on the Bayou on a boat pulled by Gaston the alligator, like some of us down in Louisiana do, or spending the day doing whatever you choose to do, I hope you enjoy it, and that you remember the most important thing at any time of year. Whatever you need to do for your own mental health, is a good way to spend the day.

Thank you for choosing to follow this little blog, and here’s to an even better, healthier, and happier 2019.

I have no words to describe it. I can personalize it because I was someone at risk. I know what would be missing if I had lost that battle. I’d be missing from everything that has happened in the 30 years since. I don’t like to think about that. I can’t imagine a world where I never met my wife or many of the incredibly special people I’ve come to know over the years. I’m fortunate that it isn’t the real world, but I’m also aware of how easily it could have been. I was able to get help. I found support when needed. It wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to keep me connected to life and other people.

    Please, learn about suicide prevention. Ensure that you and everyone you care about are aware of the 988 number and other local resources available to you. Learn about how you can “Change the Narrative” this year at the WSPD link above.

    Perhaps you won’t be surprised to know that Angela and I went on our first date exactly 5 years ago tonight. We’re both just a couple of fools! I definitely didn’t foresee what was to come over the next 5 years, but then again it just goes to show you how much life goes on…
