A quiet holiday I crave
To reflect on all the blessings gave
To me this past year
When I have known such fear
And shed so many tears…
After the holidays, after the winter snow
Spring’s warmth will come to show
The way…
To a brighter day!

I’m forcing myself to be optimistic and human… as long as the Holidays are not only involved.

Good for you, Deborah. The holidays are the most difficult. Many people suffer from depression at this time of year. May God bless you and keep you positive and upbeat. 🤗 😘

Thank you, Janice. You never know how you’re going to react to things until … you react. Memories of holidays through the years … I should have expected it, I guess. I’m learning, don’t expect anything, but making the decision to spend some time alone doing some deep soul searching, meditation, and healing seems to help. It’s time I stand on my own. 😍
