To You From The Poetess  This time, a year ago, dark days were upon my doorstep. It was my first Christmas without my late husband, and I wanted t.o crawl into bed t.o not wake up until New Year's had passed. I spent that week in a rented Air B'nB house because I couldn't bear the holidays within our old home. Too many memories t.o haunt me, too many laughs that would never occur again, too many promises of tomorrow that would never come t.o be. Yes, it was a dark time in my life... "Life happens and it goes on the next day" ~Poetess People always ask me how I am doing now. The reality is that the current -pandemic has given me a grace period t.o grieve and t.o find myself again. It has taken the burden off of me t.o be in social structures that would be uncomfortable. It has allowed time t.o pass and t.o heal my heart. It has given m.e time t.o write and create, t.o feel and emote. Therefore I have found the virus has graced m/e with lots of gifts, even through the challenges I have learned many lessons and some came with a price, like losing my friend Adam t.o COVID. It has taught m.e that no matter how many tools we have in our arsenal, we are all human and have t.o allow the human processes t.o happen. And lastly, it has taught me great -patience and resolve t,o live each day t.o my fullest. One of the tools death has given m,e, is the ability t.o stop people from being self absorbed, if only for a second. When someone starts bitching about the shut downs, or the election, or their family member drama...I tell them I will be spending my holiday alone because I am widowed, and for a minute, they forget t.o worry about the small stuff and focus on their gratitude for what they have. If you are alone this Christmas, know that I se.nd you a big virtual hug and heartfelt sentiment that you are able t,o find the joys and gifts you can in your solitude. In the end, tomorrow will come whether we want it t.o or not, so you may as well enjoy what you can of this day. May you have many more days to be grateful...  Song addition for this post Happy Christmas - John Lennon |

Happy Christmas John Lennon So this is Christmas And what have you done Another year over A new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear ones The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fears And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong The rich and the poor ones The war is so long And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fights A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fears And so this is Christmas And what have we done Another year over A new one just begun And so happy Christmas We hope you have fun The near and the dear ones The old and the young A very merry Christmas (And a happy New Year) Ooh, oh (Let's hope it's a good one) It's a good, it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas And what have we done Another year over A new one just begun

I was due to spend boxing day with my nieces. Unfortunately we have a new super easy to spread variant of Covid in the south east of the UK now. So we've been told no mixing between households, so thats stuffed that idea. Oh well better safe than sorry. Sorry for your loss. You are right we should always be thankful for what we have, rather than what we don't have. Thank you for the hug & please know I am sending you warm thoughts & a big hug from the UK.
