i know you’ve probably been wringing your hands over what to get me for christmas. what to give a moody blogger?
1. books. used books are great. mr. k’s used bookstore is the bomb. books from your own shelf that you’re done with are fab. great words inspire more words.
2. music. mr. k’s again. or burn a cd of your faves for me. i love to hear what inspires other people.
3. love. i will likely be alone on christmas, as the kiddo disappears to see her dad’s family that day. there’s something about being alone on christmas and new year’s that just stings to the core, especially when i’ve known the joy of a house full of kids or a road trip to grandma’s for dinner, and i miss it so very, very much. send me love love love.
4. send someone else love. lots of people are lonely this time of year, but not everyone is able to say so. reach out with a card, cookies, or whatever gesture feels right. it makes my heart happy to know my tribe is spreading kindness.
