I'm in the hospital by myself for the holiday & last night I found myself kinda bummed about it. My family is kinda falling apart & nobody celebrated at home either, so it had a gloomy overtone overall..but I pulled my head aside &I accepted it for what it is. I'm actually someone who cherishes their alone time, & I get it in spades this holiday. I don't have to play fake with a bunch of family I hardly speak to. I don't have to spend a crapload of money on gifts that I know people aren't truly grateful for. I don't have a girlfriend who cleaned me out to prove my undying love for her during the holidays...overall I have a lot to be grateful for!
I called my grandmother who's 95yrs old & talked to her for about an hour on the phone..I made her laugh a ton & by the end of the call she expressed how happy just a simple call made her entire holiday. I instantly felt better.
I wish everyone here at SS a great holiday, whether you're alone or with a room full of people. Onwards to New Years & making 2019 the best year yet
