MENTAL HEALTH MONDAY

As I've shared before, I started blogging as a way to journal, which is one strategy to cope with depression. I admit--sometimes I get a little political, [I know. "Knock me over with a feather."] but I also like to keep things a little bit on the lighter side. Hence, headlines from the Babylon Bee & Shameless Joke-Stealing. Just thought you'd like a reminder.

"So what do Americans wish weren't on their Thanksgiving plates?"

> Candied yams 27% "Yams" is just another word for "sweet potatoes," which I hate.

> Green bean casserole 25% I like green bean casserole, but not as much as stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, & dinner rolls with real butter.

> Cranberry sauce 24% I hate cranberries.

> Sweet potato casserole 21% See previous comment.

> Stuffing 12% Lois' stuffing is world-renowned.

> Salad 12% Who wants health foods at Thanksgiving?

> Mashed potatoes 8% Are these people Americans?

> Dinner rolls 7% What I just said.
