I have spent the past nine months or so at a residential-treatment mental health clinic. Thanksgiving and most likely the later holidays at the end of the year will be here at the clinic for me. The residence kitchen will have a festive-style traditional menu planned. We residents will be socially distanced in the dining room, and some of us will get our meals on a tray in order to carry dinner out of the dining room and dine elsewhere in the residence. I feel grateful, privileged, and fortunate not to be alone and to be somewhere with other people and excellent care.
