I’ve sort of surprised myself and managed to not just motor off at the mouth lately. Winter is usually a very difficult time for me, emotionally, not physically – weather isn’t much of a problem where I live. In fact thanks to climate change we are in a drought and having warmer than average temperatures. Again or still, take your pick.
Where was I? Oh yeah, winter sucking hairy balls. I’m coping okay this year. That’s about all I want to say at the moment. I’m okay, really.
One of my favorite Christmas songs, yes, even Yoko doesn’t totally ruin it:
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
And what have I done? I’ve learned a lot this year. I may have accidentally grown a little bit. I’m learning to walk again. It’s true, you have to walk before you can run. I’m learning to be patient with myself. I’m learning about forgiveness. I’m realizing how far I still have to go.
So very fucking far.
One of the best things I’ve done is realized I need to slow down, let things go, and breathe.
I wish you peace, and may the new year bring good things.
