My last post was kind of 'dark' and I really expected no one would comment. I was surprised at the number and at the profundity of the comments. I thank you for this. Wish we could all sit around a table, have some tea and cookies and share thoughts with each other.
I get so excited about Christmas...the lights, cutting down the tree, the music, the decorations, the schmaltzy stories on Hallmark and Lifetime channels... I love it all. And then just like "that" it's over and we plunge into a gray January and the chores of removing browned pine roping, dead wreaths, and needle-dropping trees. In dealing with "Resolutioners" who take up precious parking spaces at the gym and inside on MY machines.
Maybe it's time to make like the bears and frogs and turtles, and burrow down and get 'cozy-warm'. It's time to drink hot tea with lemon and honey, make soup with little meatballs, bake loaves of breads dripping with sweet butter...It's time to plan a few small get-togethers with neighbors and perhaps friends we haven't seen in a while. We'll all make chili and share...maybe get together for that highest of holy days: Super Bowl Sunday. And maybe it's not so gray afterall.
