This is December 23 — Welcome, Fellow Griever

The days leading up to the holidays can feel heavier than the days themselves. Anticipation, memory, and nervous-system overload often show up before anything actually happens.

Today’s Daily Nugget offers gentle permission to pause — to stop pre-handling what’s coming, and to let this moment be enough. You don’t need a plan. You don’t need a script. You don’t need to decide how you’ll feel tomorrow.

Tonight is about staying close to yourself, exactly where you are.

The Night Before the Big Days — A Daily Journal Prompt:

“What am I carrying into the next few days — and what can I remind myself I don’t have to decide yet?”
