Have a random post. No sponsored credits. A good old fashioned blog post to read. Nothing major, just felt like it.
It’s Christmas Day and I’m on the sofa watching Jessie Stone and waiting for dinner to cook.
I have chicken, potato’s and pigs in blankets in the oven. In the steamer is loads of vegetables near ready for lashings of yummy gravy.
I’ve seen my son and his wife this morning and tomorrow my daughter and hers as we congregate on Boxing Day as a family at my sons.
I chose today to not share Christmas as I just wanted to be alone. I’ve not felt it this year for many reasons and you’re no doubt familiar with the whys as this year has been in black and white on my blog.
If you missed it then you missed it.
I’ve found my trust in people compromised and my good faith has changed. First time in many years I’ve learnt that sadly people are just that. People with huge flaws.
My rose coloured glasses no longer exist and I’ve seen the world for what it is. Unforgiving and so flawed that I’m struggling to celebrate it.
All I know is that actually I want to pull those close to me closer. What matters most is good family and good friends.
The rest is just filler.
I aim to start 2024 differently, that’s all.
Have a good Christmas and hold your dear ones close x
