I’m going to go do some more decorating, including my tree that smells so good. It’s hard to get motivated to do Christmas baking when it’s just going to be the two of us at home, and my usual baking partner can’t come home but it’s okay. We are attending a virtual Christmas party this weekend, and have started coming up with ideas for having Christmas with the kids even though they can’t come for presents and dinner here. It’s all going to be all right.
Hey, if you know someone who is alone? Please reach out to them and check in. This is a tough time of year for a lot of people at the best of times, so I worry about this year being even harder for some folks.
Please take care of yourselves and each other.
** full disclosure ** I wrote this in December of 2020 and it was current then. I debated adding it as a backdated post for fear of it being disingenuous. I feel it is relevant to my thoughts, feelings and processing of those at the time so I post it now (July 2021) with the original date in December 2020.
