My Thanksgiving

Although I didn’t spend Thanksgiving with my family, I feel festive. I have not felt this way in a long time. I believe it has something to do with all the time I have spent with myself. Doing what is popular these days, healing. I am so happy and content with myself and all my realizations about life. I am totally accepting of my decision to not be in contact with my family. It does make me a little sad when I see all these families online, but I just project those feelings toward knowing I will give myself that one day when I make my own family. I still went ahead and cooked. Mac & cheese, turkey, greens, etc. I did it for myself and I feel great about it. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and if you didn’t spend it with loved ones, do not count yourself out. It might not be the same but comforting yourself and appreciating what you have put into yourself this year counts. Happy Thanksgiving!
