After a bit of discussion we dragged out the big Christmas lights and got them on the tree. The tree has doubled in size since we first bejeweled it in 2011 with the lights wound nearly to the top. Now, the tree is just skirted in coloured lights.
It brings me joy.
I can see them from my spot on the sofa :-)
The sun made an appearance around noon which helped to make the cool day feel a bit better. We didn’t need gloves but if the wind had been blowing that might have been different. As it was, it was nice enough to cause us to linger outside, doing odd winter-readying tasks.
Last month I made a pact with myself that I’d dress up for dinner and we’d eat at the table most nights - it’s part of my covid depression shield. I think I’ve managed at least 50% of the time which I would consider a big success. Tonight we had salisbury steak meatballs & mushrooms with roasted brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes - I wore a dress and heeled shoes - Carm changed his shirt - the tv channel was changed from CNN to the 70s music station - all in great fun!
“There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human—in not having to be just happy or just sad—in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.”
