melancholy christmas

It's a sad Christmas for so many this year.  We've got our own sadness happening here, but we will press on and share our love with those around us.  We'll do the best we can.

So many people are missing loved ones this year. Whether staying safely apart due to Covid, missing loved ones that have passed on,  or simply being too far away to be together. 

Though you may be feeling melancholy, please know you are not alone. Reach out to someone in any way you can. Phone, text, email, video chat.  

Get outside. Go for a walk. We've got lots of places listed here on our website. Find one that intrigues you and just go.  Breathe some fresh air.  I was feeling blue today, and just twenty minutes at a park calmed my spirits and helped me to breathe.

And if you're thinking of someone special, let them know.  I recently recorded a music video using photos from Spruce Lake Bog.  The song is called EVERGREEN, and it reflects on spending Christmas apart from loved ones. Feel free to share it. 

​Merry Christmas, from Me.
