The happy place

there are now some Christmas lights hanging from our windows, charms against the oppressive darkness soon to come.

Or wards maybe,

Anyway ok so there’s that start, a dark tone but a hint of hope, represented by the lights in each window.

Then what? There’s no getting away from the fact that it’s Sunday again.

They are heavy I think.

What can I do to light some Christmas lights inside of me? I will get a gym card, go running — pumping Ava Max until my iPhone warns me, be with my family including the small dogs.

That will help.

And I’ve got my book to read, a word to hide in for a while.

And the coffee.

But but yes, yes yes I will start with the jog, now that the sun is still shining,

And then I’ll see if that helps.
