Yesterday

I hope you had a good night's sleep and that things look better this morning. The whole holiday season, from Thanksgiving to New Years, can be very challenging for some of us. I too have been going through a very dark time, and some of your posts have brightened my days and lightened my spirits. I can't tell you how much that has meant to me.

Know your DU family is here for you, and don't hesitate to reach out. You are not alone, friend.

Sending love and healing vibes your way,
Susan
