Gentle hugs to all ...

Memories of growing up (and living in) domestic violence, incest and abuse for 33.5 years usually impact me in a more pronounced manner around the holidays.

Add to that a recent (and extremely late discovery) of a rather serious autoimmune disorder that has resulted in a lot of lost ground (physical health impact) for me this year, and ...

Whew, Boy!

Let's just say it's like a double-whammy this holiday season and leave it at that.

I'd say maybe next year will be better, but at this stage I'm not so certain of anything anymore!
