Hey everyone and welcome to practicing human the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life

I am your host Corey Muscarra and this won't be much of a podcast today because if you can't tell I'm

feeling a little sick. It was a long day it's Christmas Eve here for those of you who celebrate Christmas Eve. You know that can sometimes be hectic

So I was hoping that whatever is has caught me would subside but it seems to have worsened over the evening and it's now close to

midnight my brain's just not functioning too well for an episode and it feels

important to prioritize some self-care and sleep.

So for those of you who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas. For those of you who celebrate any other holiday throughout this month, January, before,

or really any time throughout the year, I wish you well too.

These holidays mean different things for different people.

They take different forms and shapes.

They change from year to year.

The people we're surrounded by often are different from year to year and decade by decade.

Some people are still there, some have passed, and sometimes where alone.

So as we discussed for Thanksgiving, I hope you can make space for the many shapes

that these days can take for you and learn to bring kindness to other people, to yourself, to the family

with whom it's easy to get along with and with whom it's difficult. It's okay to set boundaries, it's okay to put those

boundaries down and I hope that whatever you feel like you need you can practice

giving that to yourself. That is my wish to you. So thank you for your

forgiveness for a shorter podcast with very little content. I do hope to be back in shape by tomorrow, but we will see. So I wish

you well until then. And as always, take care. here.
