PR reminded me just now, on Bones' thread--to celebrate ANYWAY!
So I'm gonna. In my own eccentric but happy ways. I swear, that food court Handel just kickstarted it.
I won't "go big" with it emotionally, but the music is my path in, to the light in winter, hope in darkness, the spiritual side of it. And I do love that. Plus, I will likely get invited to a party or two and I'll gladly go.
Meanwhile, I have my plan in place for a family- (and phamily-) less Xmas Day. It's going to be fine, since I'm spending it with people who don't recognize the English calendar.
Fur people. Saturday I went through orientation (procedures, safety, who's safe, who's maybe not) for being a volunteer dog-walker at our SPCA. It's a wonderful, positive operation and those pooches are so in need of a little relief and leg-stretching. On Christmas Day, I'll most likely be hanging out with some big ole' hound dogs.
I'll go in the morning and again in the afternoon. I really enjoyed it. Plus, this helps the animals and helps myself have another "exercise date" each week--it's a win win. (No possibility of self-pity in that place.)
xo ho ho,
Hops
