In Which a Defeat feels like Victory

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! Hope you are okay? Do let me know! And maybe the weather is also fairing not as summery, instead leaning more on towards Autumn, assuming you come from the north! Here, the weather of September has been mild, which is a blessing! As a whole, the month so far was one of a slowly fading winter, in towards what one can pray it may be a fresh spring. As for me, the weekend was relatively calm. I did play some games, and I could work on my first 2026 season christmas postcard! As a personal tradition I have, I do it early, as I adore christmas. I was worried if this year I could have done it as early, fortunately the answer is yes! As usual, this is dedicated to my dear pen pals, excellent online friends, that I have cultivated across the years. It has a sparkly feel to it, more than in past years. It just ended up this way, and I like it. No reason for it to look particularly optimistic, just happened in the end. God knows I have my lament...
