I love this post. I'm much, much older than you are (like.....80), but I can relate to those difficult times. I'm very thankful for your Sweet Brain--I hesitate to call it "dumb", because it seems to work a lot like mine, and I like the way you put my feelings into words. It's very helpful.

Thank you Katie... I still don't like the name of this newsletter—your brain is far from dumb. Thank you for your work... and just for being you. Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm so thankful you're here, too, Katie. Which sounds dumb, it's your newsletter. But MSDB only exists because you keep showing up, and I'm so grateful you do.

A succinct reminder of how to practice gratitude is a PERFECT newsletter for this moment! Especially with days getting shorter/colder and the hustle of the holidays picking up. Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good emotion to get me out of the dumps, it’s something that helps me stay focused and grounded.
