the eve of christmas eve

Well, Christmas has sped up as it always does. The holiday is nearly over, and as usual I feel like it has passed a little too quickly.

This is a hard time of year for me.

I miss my girls - a lot.

I've been doing my best to keep my spirits up this season, there have been a few challenges, but mostly I think I have managed it.

I'm afraid this won't be very poetic, but sometimes there isn't poetry to get the feelings across.

I'm going upstate for a few days, this is a much needed break from every day stuff.

It's really been a rough week or so, I'm ready for some down time.

I'm feeling the weight of the chill outside, and I wish that things didn't always come to a head during the holidays, but I suppose that is how it works. We all get stressed out and the little things somehow feel bigger than they really are.

We'll recover. It's what we do.

So ..cheers to you, my readers and friends... I hope the holiday is as kind to you as you deserve it to be. Enjoy..be responsible, and share your light.

talk to ya soon.
