The Fireplace
Crackling, red warmth.
Seep into my bones, and stay.
Rejuvenate me.

Ups and Downs...
How do you know if you're living up to your potential?
Well... would most folks who know you say that you're a good person? That you have compassion in your heart and kindness on your mind?
Who cares if you're LATE accomplishing the goals you've set for yourself?
Sometimes the best thing to do for yourself, is to remember that you need care too.
We all need time to rest, relax and rejuvenate for the next thing on our plate, whether it's about to be Monday again and we're starting the grind all over for the millionth time, or whether we need a project brake to help our voice become fresh and new.
NEW GOAL: MORE. SELF. CARE.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year! HA!
Going to see Santa, from your sweet baby's perspective...
Mom, where are we? There are a LOT of kids and lights and cotton ball stuff strewn around.
It smells funny in here, and it's hot.
Wait, we're entering a line... is it a line for ice cream? Cause' that would be great, I'm hungry, and ... wait...
Who's that weird looking person on the throne.
Why are those daddies handing their sweet babies to him, I don't ---
WAIT A MINUTE. IS THIS A CHILD SACRIFICE LINE?!
ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THIS OLD SWEATY DUDE IN VELVET IS THE GOD OF CANDY CANES OR
SOMETHING?! YOU KNOW WE CAN BUY THOSE! DON’T GIVE ME TO HIM!
I PROMISE NOT TO THROW MY CUP ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT THE ONE THAT’S THE WRONG
COLOUR, I— NOOOOOOOOO!!!
I DON’T WANT TO BE A SACRIFIIIIIIIIIICE!
TAKE ME BACK SAFELY IN YOUR ARMS, DON’T GIVE ME TO THE GUY WEARING A FUR TRIMMED
VELVET ONSIE!! PLEASE NO!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! PICK ME UP! HE CAN’T BE SANTA!
SANTA SMELLS LIKE COOKIES AND JOY AND THAT NEW TOY SMELL THAT I DON'T GET TO INHALE FUMES
OF NEARLY AS OFTEN AS I SHOULD! THIS GUY SMELLS LIKE SWEAT AND TIDE! DON’T LEAVE ME WITH HIM!
WHAT ARE THOSE FLASHES! ARE YOU TAKING PICTURES??! WHY ARE YOU DOCUMENTING THIS?!
IS THIS MY NEW LEGAL PASSPORT PHOTO?!
I DON’T WANT TO BE—- oh.
Oh, I get the candy cane? We’re leaving? Wait, are there presents?
Oh, we can go home. Thank goodness. My tiny heart is beating out of my chest, I was so scared.
I was too terrified to even pee on him so he’d let me go and I could run to you to save myself.
Can we have ice cream now?
