This event is for those who may be new to the Boston area, or those who want to share a meal with the community, or those who may need a bit of help in providing Thanksgiving for themselves or their family. And for all those in between, all are truly welcome at the United Parish table.

            [post_content] => We hear about self-care; we understand that it is beneficial to our physical and mental health. We also practice self-care activities on a daily basis. Often though, we think they take a lot of time or are expensive. So, here are a few things to do each day that take only a few minutes. Write in a journal about your thoughts and feelings. Write a list of things you did that day of which you were proud. Write a list of affirmations on what you like about yourself. Do a puzzle: jigsaw, sudoku etc. Call a friend. Go on a walk. Look at the clouds or the stars. Cuddle with a pet or a child. We encourage you to try these activities and come up with more of your own and share them with us at: louise@upbrookline.org.
