Signs of The Times

Hope and Despair Sign

It’s the end of the year, and that’s not an easy time for many of us. From the emphasis on family and giving the right gift(s) it’s not easy. Also, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re in the time of the year where the sunshine is weaker than the weakest tea, and that doesn’t help with that holly jolly feeling we’re all supposed to have.

I get you, folks who hate this time of year. I hear you. I feel you. It’s a damn hard time on the calendar. You are not alone. Our current political climate doesn’t help any of us either. It’s a rough damn year – that feels like it has been two or three years in what we know is 12 months!

Next week, I will have up a Christmas fic for you. I try to do this every year, and this year I will succeed. Even if I have to bribe the husband unit to take care of everything for 24 hours so I can get it done. 🙂
