Who's with me?

 I'm staying up, apparently, as we hit the winter solstice at 320CST this glorious Saturday, December 21. Must be the pagan in me causes me to be awake, eh?  We did get our first winter dump of about 5 or 6 inches of light fluffy snow; you couldn't make a snowman or even a snowball if your grandmother demanded... (lol, inside joke. Not MY grandmother, but those more "determined" types... ;-) nttawwt, heh.

Beautiful to coat the landscape, freshen the air, drop the temps, and bring in the sunshine for Friday and Saturday before a slight warmup for Christmas holy days beginning next week. Good for the travellers and those who like to get out,

I just hope this winter passes quickly.  Too much pent-up anger and insecurity in our shared American hearts. The country is changing, and some people really do not like that and are only now realizing they cannot stop the shifts that began decades ago.  Insecurity causes hoarding, and hoarding causes isolation and isolated people do not know one another and the cycle intensifies...

The only cure, of course, -- (not to sound trite or sample sound lyrics, but...) -- is to let it be. Hold on loosely, but don't let go. Go with the flow (ok that's not a lyric.)  The bigger they are the harder they fall, so do your best not to fall...

Check yourself out of the game before that happens and you inadvertently take yourself out.
