When you get into a tight place and it seems you can’t go on, hold on, for that’s just the place and the time that the tide will turn.

Powering through these last weeks of 2020 is proving to be more than I can handle very well. Even though powering through adversity is an often used tool in my skill set drawer, it’s not working right now. Apparently it has gotten rusty.
Writing…amidst the exhausting news of rising pandemic horror, political uncertainties, isolation and various personal conflicts…is just not happening. Life has become more of a free-fall overwhelm into Twilight Zone territory. Last week’s Snow Day post made me realize where I was headed. I know I have plenty of company, but still. So my point today is that I will be taking a break from my presence here, but hope to be back with all my blogging buddies soon. You are all very important to me.
Take care, stay safe and I hope you can enjoy your holidays…whatever they may be.

You too. We’re living in weird times and since the holidays are always weird in their own way, this is just compounded weirdness. I will be glad to see you when you return. Meantime, have a good break and find a little peace in the madness somehow. ❤

Thank you for thinking of me with your sweet note and virtual hugs. It made my day. I am okay, just taking it one day at a time as the saying goes. Sorry to miss your “up” challenge this month. So far, anyway.
