I am praying for the energy I need to get through the next round of weekly chores, and Holiday preparations. Got sideswiped with grief a few days ago, well, ever since before American Thanksgiving, TBCH....and naturally, it sends me reeling for awhile. (Lost my brother in February; and lost my Dad just a little over two years ago.) It's all still very painful, and "just" below the surface, I found out....

So, compassionate hugs for anyone else facing the same kind of Christmas/ New Years....and for anyone in pain, period.
