You did great

even if you just survived

This is Duke, an adorable golden doodle with whom I spent Thanksgiving

If you live in the US, you probably celebrated (or at least acknowledged the existence of) the Thanksgiving holiday last week.

How’d it go?

Did you get to relax and enjoy a few days off? Spend a relaxed and joyful time with beloved family members?

Did you overextend yourself and take on way too much? Stress and seethe and white-knuckle your way through?

I’m here to tell you that you did great. Even if all you did was survive.
