Dark of the Year

My roommate has been posting some various little cartoons about the holidays. I watched a few of them and you know what? I honestly, actually feel better about things now. I needed that.

Things are hard in December. It's cold. There are a lot of obligations and expectations. Because it's the end of the year, a lot of changes start to hit, things that can often feel overwhelming. Maybe that's why we bring in colors and ribbons and shimmer and songs. It helps and distracts. It brings us comfort. A lot of the stories connected with this time of year are about hope, wonder, and taking care of each other. We need that during the dark of the year. It's what helps us move forward.
