Happy Turkey Day!❤️ (Patreon)

Hello lovely moonkips, I hope you are all well on this Turkey Day. Things are pretty crazy here. Not so much celebration at this time rather than recalibrating and resting. It’s funny how the seasons change and you notice you are changing with them. Growing a bit older, a bit wiser, all the good stuff.

I was going to make some small tasty things and enjoy the cooler weather, we’d been making this pumpkin pudding that I've been really excited to do and we got a turkey to take apart so there’s a few things to be excited for but I’ve just had almost no energy with the ongoings of late.

That said, I hope Turkey Day finds you in lovely spirits. I hope there’s lots of festivities where you are, and you get to hold loved ones close, making lots of memories.

But if you aren’t in that kind of life right at the moment, I get it. I’ve struggled to enjoy the holidays and I felt silly making content celebrating it because it felt disingenuous when I haven’t had holidays to be excited about.

I’m also sure there are people who feel similarly about holidays and hate the fake cheer, so here’s a little more authenticity for those folks:

I hope you find some comfort in the small things you can do to celebrate your life even if it feels like there isn’t much to celebrate right now. You might not be where you’d like to be, but it’s just one foot at a time towards that goal that closes the distance. You’ll get there, you were never the kind of person to give up, were you?

Things are ever shifting, ever changing and we will always adapt until we find the path that lets us step into the life we always wanted and deserved.

For those of us that feel like that today, please know you aren’t alone and you deserve gentleness today.

Even if it only looks like a good drink, a quiet game, or giving yourself permission to rest.

Wherever you are, w/e this holiday feels like for you, I’m glad you’re here & I hope today makes space for something soft.
