Merry Christmas
To all of you who celebrate but also to those who are alone, afraid or just not in the mood!
I know these holiday times can be tough, stress of family perfection and presents for everyone - and then add uncertainty of health, financials (at least in the US), work and relationships- makes for a stressful experience. Historically I have often opted to escape - away from those who love me, after connecting around a meal or drinks, but then it is hard for me to relax or even relate to the often mundane conversation that seems so irrelevant to me… but with a young child it makes it both easier to 1) center the conversation on her to avoid conflict 2) do activities that she loves that often involve physical exhaustion or mental work… thank you Liv, for always saving me from myself and thank you transplant friends for hopefully understanding?
