When the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Isn’t the Most Wonderful

A friend recently suggested the topic for this post:  "What themes keep showing up in your poetry, or in the poetry of the writers you love?" I honestly couldn’t stop thinking about it. It’s such a simple yet personal question.

We all have stories that shape us, moments we replay in our memories long after they’re gone. Some are joyful, others painful, and some are transformative in ways we don’t immediately recognize. For me, there were 27 weekends that marked the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one.

The holiday season is one of wonder, magic, and cosiness, but let’s face it, sometimes the Christmas shopping sneaks up on us last minute. I know I can't be the only one stressing and scrambling to find just the perfect gift for someone. Right?
