Melodramatic ?
Yes, I haven’t been around here.
Nor anywhere else for that matter.
No, I haven’t been swamped with work, but I should be.
Can I do anything about it?
It would be Christmas soon.
You can practically smell it coming.
There are birthdays coming up.
Parties.
Even weddings.
December’s here.
I should be ecstatic.
Heaven help me.
Melodramatic? Hand me a towel, melodrama’s all I got right now.

You ever had those moments in your life, when you feel you’ve got it all planned out?
Think BIG for a moment. Nobody fancies staying in a rut for life.
Then think small. Tiny. Like for the next three weeks, you’d want to have a quiet moment with your family. With friends. A chocolate splurge. A crazy spree. So what if it costs money? You can’t put a tag on what makes us human. To feel. To savor. To live.
Sadly, money not only buys fun.
It buys health.
Well-being.
I could finally appreciate what insurance companies are for… But then again, they capitalize a lot on other people’s misery. I take it back.

I know I don’t have to, but I still will apologize. I’m sorry if I can’t keep up with the ceremonies of the season. Those who know that I can’t let it pass without even the tiniest hint for each person I care for, know me well.
