In Which Writing Brings Christmas Close to the heart!

Hello, hello! Good morning, my friend, reader of this present post!! Happy Tuesday, how are you? How were your past days so far? I hope yout week is going well, one step at a time! As for me, it is okay I suppose, days of quiet melancholia and dryness. Not all, but many have been on this unfortunate scenario. It is not as bad today, I won't take any moment of less sadness for granted! The weather has been on a pattern of heating, given it will be summer soon, on the land down under, but still I can wear socks, I can use sweaters on the late evening. Soon even the night will be one of hot air. At least It will also be December, and the christmas season will alleviate the horrid sun. Have this nice Artificially generated image, in a festive mood, because it will soon be December!!! A bit belated, of course, given my birthday is two months behind, but still... One way I have of bringing the season, the beautiful Christmas Holiday, into my life some more, given as I live with mom, deco...

In Which I make plans for the Christmas Day and consider an afternoon at the beach?

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! Happy Friday! How are you today, now that we are so close to the very height of the christmas season of 2024? As for me, I am pretty okay, yesterday I went with mom to the mall to purchase some new clothes, and I liked it a lot. It was as fun as I remember, and I have not been out to the mall in almost a whole year. It was also at the right time, because of the beautiful christmas decoration! And indeed, this year they did a very good job and were quite creative! I took plenty of pictures, and I could not be happier on doing this! A tradition of mine to go taking pictures of everything christmas related, as to register the wonderful time. 

Speaking of which, I am loosely with a plan on going to the house of grandma for the christmas, or at least for a visit, I am not sure if I'd like to stay for more than a day because I get homesick. One thing is grandma living relatively nearby, other entirely different is living in a neighborhood 30 minutes away, add 1 hour to it if there is excessive car traffic. I do have the tradition to spend at least a day with her on the season, there is that. Also, gives me opportunity to take more pictures of christmas decoration! We will see how it goes...

After a hectic but enjoyable Thursday, today I am just resting... mom invited me to go to the beach with my aunt and cousin at the afternoon. I am considering if I should go with them! In one hand, I haven't been to the beach in a while, and not with mom and aunt... on other, I do like to be by myself at the house, for some reason I am still to decipher. We shall see. I miss building sandcastles, if the opportunity arises I could do some. Again, we will see how it goes. 

Took this picture yesterday at the mall, so beautiful was the decoration there!



In any case, I do love December, beautiful month of Christmas, even if it's celebrated in summer where I live, alas. I love it because it is so carefree, a time for vacation and relief, really. It has been such a hard year on me, with the surgery, and I am happy to rest and take the good things that come my way as I can. As we approach the end of another blog entry, I wonder how many more I will write in 2024! I am not sure if I will do a retrospective, because the first half of the year was particularly harsh and also a blur in my mind. I can only perhaps wrap up December when it's time, and open the double doors of the horizon to January, soon afterwards! One thing remains as the same as it was the beginning of this year, and the beginning of every year since 2018: I do hope I don't bring the blog to an end. I like to write, it is enjoyable and I deem it as a healthy and productive habit. Again, I should proceed dividing the time in small pieces as I can, as to not feel like I need to turn this into the project of my life, as if I had the energy for such thing. What else is there to be said? Time to wrap today's entry! Of course, do not distress, I should return soon, I hope I do a blog on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, even if I won't force it. Sometimes we can rest a bit more as well, I don't see a problem on this basis. Crazy it is the last week of 2024, basically! Well, I wish you the best, as always, and I hope you may keep on having a beautiful season!
