Whew. The Newsroom is a helluva choice to binge whilst enjoying boiled peanuts. "Christmas is not the boss of you." My dear hubby doesn't feel any warmth for this time of year and I try to make sure he has space to get away from *gestures vaguely to all the shiny bits that I love* all of it. It wasn't until I was in my 30s that I realized the whole "drawing inward" and peaceful silence that gets shouted over by the noise is exactly what I love about this time of year. Learning that the lights got put up because the days were so short and the celebration of the solstice and return of the light appeals to me still, even through cookie sugar induced haze.
And now I want to go back and re-watch that opening monologue from the Newsroom. Happy New Year, Therra. I am truly sorry that you lost your love, and so appreciate that you create and share with us out here on the interwebs. ~ N
All blessings to you in the New Year, dear one- with as many sparkles as you choose! 💖
