I hope you were able to have some positive family interaction over the Thanksgiving holiday. I know I sure enjoyed time with my family. Make plans to do something positive for Christmas and don't just get sucked into the commercialism of this time of year. We remember relationships long after the stuff has broken and been tossed aside!

Being thankful is one of the most important things we can cultivate to stay healthy mentally. Thanksgiving should be more than a holiday once a year, much more than turkey or football, but a way of living. It is hard to be depressed when we focus on gratitude!

Having lots of social contacts is important for your health. It could be friends, relatives, a neighbor, your long time hairdresser, church members, card playing group, garden club, or more.
