Stands to reason, if I have shed a few tears, in as many days, then a check-in here, is in order. Not a lot of tears, but a few have rolled down my cheeks. Ahhh, it's darker out. The holidays are a big time, of much reflecting. Missing many, near and dear to my heart. And with these remembrances, and anniversary dates approaching, memories are both fond and not so fond.
I find the act of appreciation, more sorrowful, than heartwarming. Though, the heartwarming moments, more humbling, than jumping up for joy. Melancholic, is more like it. Yet, there is something different about this year, than years past, I can smile, a real smile, even through the melancholy.
