This quote hits home for us this Thanksgiving season. Tag someone who needs to hear this!

"True happiness is to enjoy the present,
without anxious dependence upon the future,
not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears
but to rest satisfied with what we have,
which is sufficient,
for he that is so wants nothing.
The greatest blessings of mankind
are within us and within our reach..."

- Seneca

🍂 Does fall ever stir up old memories for you?
Changing seasons can bring waves of grief, a favorite holiday tradition, the smell of autumn air, or the reminder of time passing. Seasonal grief is real, and it can feel heavier when the world around us is shifting.
If you’re feeling it this fall, know you’re not alone. Give yourself grace and lean into small moments of comfort.
