One thing about adulthood is that you get better at peering behind life’s facade and seeing its complexities.
That’s not always fun, but the good part is that you get to decide what to make of it for yourself.*
If there is a wizard behind the curtain, shouldn’t it be you?

This holiday season won’t be what we hoped. I won’t be seeing my family in person this year. I keep reminding myself how tiring the drive is but it’s thin consolation.
What isn’t thin is that I can rest easy knowing that I won’t be passing on any Canadian Covid, or even the flu, to my immunocompromised family members. That’s a whole lot of yay.
We also now have the option of making this holiday whatever we want. An author I follow had a good take on this idea so feel free to head on over and take a gander.
It’s ok, I’ll wait.
It’s not like I’m going anywhere.
“This won’t do.
You still have a right to peace and happiness this holiday season, whichever holiday you choose to celebrate. Decide what that happiness is and go for it.”
— Ilona Adrews
Excellent idea.

* Also, if you want to have ice cream for breakfast, dangit, you can.
