Winter Solstice

No deep thoughts right now, just wanting to share a sense of calm and warmth with the world. This is my favorite part of the Yule season. Everyones' gifts are bought but my half-sisters, and I know what I'm getting her, I just have to find it. Everyone is going to be happy with their presents and get good use out of them, if they aren't already doing so. The days of food and laziness and bonding are almost here, and for some have started already.

A little one-on-one talking with my mom, a bit of, well frankly, yelling at my dad for upsetting Corbi, and lots of Doug, and I'm all peopled. This is my world right now, as limited as that is. I don't want to be part of anything bigger until New Years. Right now is the time of turning inward, taking stock of what this year has accomplished in my life and the lives of those around me. Mom is dating her other ex husband again, and Aunt Rhoda still smokes, and Doug still spends too much money on computers. But all is well. Things are going their own paces and being generally cheerful.

Have a real cool Yule, a happy Christmas, and a prosperous New Year.
