Sharing The World Introvert Day with my Sister, the Extravert
The second day of January always belongs to my sister, Kitty. She was born on that day, so I must celebrate the world's day set aside for introverts with her! She is the furthest creature from an introvert that could ever be. That is my role. So, the sharing is perfect. I will have to share an imaginary day with her because, you see...we live in two different worlds, it seems.

The Reckoning.
The reckoning. Revenge in its entirety, sharpens the edge of enmity, Atrocious in its nurture, harrowing its existence under the breaths of animosity.

Lighten the Dark Room
Regret. We should have said more of this, or done more of that. Each of us has baggage that we need to release, and our own dark rooms.

Breathe Deep
Close your eyes A deep breath in. Relax, let go. It's time to begin again. Life is hectic, painful, and sharp. The edges cut, blunt force bruises.

"DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM, & EQUALITY FOR ALL". Content Warning.
The song "Democracy is Coming to the USA" by the late Leonard Cohen is approriate for this New Year 2024. I woke up with the song in my head as I crawled out of bed this morning.

My If-ffiness
Another great idea by Rick! You can read his piece here: Here are my responses... If I were a rich person I would be free. Free of debt. Free to travel, if I wanted. I probably wouldn't want, but I'd be free to. That's the thing. Free to live anywhere I wanted. Free to write. So many hours freed up every day to think, dream, create, polish. These are the stories I tell myself about money and I wonder how true they are. I think of Jacob Marley with his long chain and I wonder if that isn't the most perfect bit of financial propaganda in 200 years.
