dear sweet baby Jesus in a manger, I need to seek refuge here under my spiritual handle because I got yelled at for being such a Negative Nate, which is so normally not my default. I checked myself and realized the only thing different lately is my insistence on concentrating /1
on the 24-hour news cycle and watching all the speeches, all the interviews, all the soundbytes, all the Q&A, all the way through #iWatchSoYouDontHaveTo and it's turning me toward a familial default I had shed decades ago, one of complete disappointment in humankind.../2
and that's, like, #ChristmasOpposite, right? I'm sure it has nothing to do with having to get some emergency pants two sizes up because we don't eat flour or sugar anymore & I HAD to bake cookies to give away during Advent... (shuddup, and yes I gave MOST of the fudge away...) /3
so, I gotta be all Miss Patti LaBelle, children, and get a new attitude cause I sure as shootin don't want to waddle across the line at New Year's end with another earful from my delightful husband about what a shrew I am. peace on your head, with love n kisses #LentUnEdited
