If the holidays are challenging for you, if you are struggling to feel merry and bright, if you feel a complicated mix of joy and grief or sadness or inadequacy or dark and nameless emotions — I see you. 💙

It’s still egret time. These guys were just hanging out in my backyard until a great blue heron came and chased them away. Then the heron left too, trailed by our resident osprey. We’ve had many cormorants as well, but I still hope to see a merganser this year. Migration season is so entertaining.

If you are in a part of the world that celebrates the winter season in December with a holiday tree or lights, when do you decorate, and why? I used to wait until mid-December, but I see more and more people decorating in early November. I’m decorating today, because ~*dopamine*~ #holidays #festive

Earlier this year I spent quite a lot of time helping an analyst who was experiencing some challenges with a complex project. Assistance was outside my scope of work but was critical to project success. This morning, I received this message. It’s been a tough week, and this means so much to me.

23. God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Still my favorite of his books, although Cat’s Cradle runs a close second.
