Again,'Tiz the Season

We have passed the moment of most darkness, but it is still crappy out there.  It is dark, damp, piercingly cold and windy.  "Tiz the Season once again.  Perhaps I'll drive around and look for over-lighted houses to perk me up.  I took the girls out to do that the other night.  They are 2 and 3 years-old cousins.  They were delighted, but confused about the whole thing.

Me too.

I am not going to work for these two weeks.  I left the office with very mixed feelings.  The last day was too extreme. Two of the people  I saw are doing very well and were headed out to happy holidays. But two others falling apart physically.  One is very old and things are starting to not work.  The other is quite young and his diagnosis is very scary.

But Alice  (see 12/9 post) came back in and a doctor had given her something for her pain which she was enjoying very much.  As her pain subsided Alice was once again very much alive and hoping to stay that way.  She was again filled with rage and thoughts of vengeance; back to her sweet old self.

So, to all of you who do not wish to impale your brother or throw your mother off the train this Holiday Season.  I wish you all the best.

Be warm, kind and respectful to all around you, no matter their views, or foolishness. We are all really just the products of our physical being and the experiences we have been through. We are all searching for a few rays of happiness.  We each have the power to give some of that to one another.

Enjoy.
