'Tis the Season for Wonder - With Just A Hint of Sadness
It's been hard for me to get into the holiday spirit this year. 2021 has been a tough year of dealing with grief, recovering from injuries, and battling depression on top of the general business of just being a self-employed farm wife and homeschooling a special needs teenager.

Therapy
Blood, promises, pain, and tears. It was my first date. The boy and I had been talking for a while, and he finally asked me out. I had no intentions of doing anything other than movie and dinner. He had no intentions of letting me not do it. The movie was his choice, some type of horror. Never really been into those type of movies. I saw Final Destination 3 or 4, the roller coaster one, 3 times and never liked it any of those times.

Blood Isn’t Thicker Than Water
My dad died about a month ago. While I felt sad at first, mostly, I felt nothing. Turns out, I had already gone through the grieving process years ago. I thought I would at least feel something when his time came. I knew it would happen sooner, rather than later. When I stopped talking to him almost a decade ago, he was already old and in pretty terrible shape. Being an alcoholic and chain smoker, along with having 30 years of unresolved medical issues, does that.

Coped
This is the surreal moment when you wish a parallel universe would reveal itself to you. I unexpectedly lost my mother. I know she fought a battle all her life and I knew she would lose it someday but, on that day, I just couldn’t see to whom or what she lost this battle to. For far too long, I had witnessed her demons, her struggles, her kryptonite. I loved her for who she was and hated her for what she wasn’t. There is a difference.

If You Understand How the Brain Works, Life Becomes Easy
Life, this tumult, this wonderful gift ... and the way we understand what we receive with it… We live in a time when society is suffering from an acute lack of understanding, lack of tolerance and respect, nervousness, more and more depressions.
