My friend is 52 years old and has never carved a pumpkin.

She grew up fanatically religious and left the church about 8 years ago.
I have known her for about 6 years and I knew she dressed up and decorated for Halloween, but I never realized she didn't carve pumpkins. I stopped carving them years ago and I had ceramic pumpkins with candles so it never crossed my mind when I saw the pumpkins uncarved.

Today she asked me to show her how to carve a pumpkin and roast the seeds. I honestly thought she was joking.

She is having so much fun, she is like a little kid. It has brought me so much joy to help her and watch her have fun with this children's project.

I love that she trusted me enough to ask me to help her as she has a lot of shame around not knowing how to do this simple task.

She is so excited I am here to stay with them, she is talking about all the projects she wants to do/try. It is great for me as I have really been in my head the last few months and it will be good to be creative again.

I think this will be a good place to be for a while.
