It's easy to give thanks when everything is coming up roses; but during a year in which it's hard to find a silver lining, and when many of us are separated from family through no choice of our own, my best advice is to try to remember the past blessings we've all been given.  God bless.

This is the worst thanksgiving of my life.
Pandemic, divorce after 26 years of marriage.
Older stepson took his mom’s  side (even though she’s an alcoholic),
So now I cannot see my only grandson. Our own son together is fighting with me,
and wants to move far away., leaving me 100% alone, all family gone, disconnected.
My brother and sister won’t speak to me because of politics.
I’m 53 and truly alone and very depressed.

So sorry AE. If you want to hang out here a little more and talk music or guitars, it may help. I know it's sort of a "get-away" for me, but I do understand everyone is different. Hang in there, things have to get better. :)

I agree with TaylorGirl AmericanEagle.  Talking about Taylor Guitars and all things about guitars, and music in general is a nice release.  Time heals and music helps time go a little better. Hang in there.
