Yes, 2020 has been a tough year, and Thanksgiving is a time to give yourself a pat on the back (self-gratitude) for you and your family’s resilience, endurance, and putting one foot in the front of the other!

Says Dr. Bonnie Eaker-Weil, family therapist: As a family, appreciating the good in each other, and kudos for getting along, even while being together 24/7, during a pandemic, is a reason to celebrate!

Love is HEALING, remember that as you give thanks. Many families got a chance to get closer and spend more time with parents, partners and children, from the pandemic. Use that love and closeness that you all rekindled as a guiding light going forward!!
Dr Bonnie Eaker-Weil, author of Make Up Don’t Break Up, wishes you a “safe” loving thanksgiving and a beautiful new path.
