December can be trying

I appreciate the stark beauty of it all..but the extra labour,layered clothing and tense driving are starting to take me over to the darker side. if I am not fretting about my own driving..I am angst-ing about my daughter's (who assures me she is capable but..)

I am on holdays now for a bit but recognise there are so many responsibilities that tug at me..I would like to shelter some reflective time..

for now the kitties in the Christmas tree make me both insanely frustrated..and hysterically jolly..
