Today, I asked a single friend about her goal for the week, and tongue in cheek, she said to “get through it without slitting her wrists.” Though not quite as dire, I used to feel a version of that. It changed a decade ago when I decided to take charge of the holidays by orchestrating my own Christmas party. For this year, I reserved matinee movie tickets for 7 friends to see Star Wars. After that, everyone will come to my place for a feast. I’ve been plotting the menu for weeks and the last few days, I started buying the non-perishable ingredients. (Meats and veggies will be purchased Wednesday). This gives me a plan, a purpose, a sense of belonging. How are you doing?
