School has been extremely stressful lately. ~ What with Christmas break approaching, teachers are all in a hurry to get marks in. That haste shows up on our faces as deep, dark pockets under our eyes. ~
So amid all this stress, I try to look on the small, happy details of life. ~ Most unlike my pessimistic nature, but then, desperate times call for desperate measures. ~ (Realpolitik.) ~
First of all, I've managed to inspire two people to start their own blogs. ~ This is one of the best feelings a writer can have. ~ These two brilliant people have writing styles quite different from mine, another bonus. ~ They're creating a little niche for themselves in the digital world. ~ As much as I sound like a mother hen writing this, this makes me so proud! ~ I shall be co-writing posts with them in the near future, something for both you and me to look forward to! ~
Also, December means Christmas. ~ Truly the most wonderful time of the year. ~ I celebrate by listening to carols. ~ I've discovered a particularly touching one - "The Cat Carol," the unlikely yet heart-warming story of a Christmas miracle. ~ As well, I enjoy listening to the saucy "Santa Baby," which always brings a smile to my face. ~ And of course, the classics, including, but definitely not limited to, "Jingle Bell Rock," "Winter Wonderland," and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree."
Ah, time to get back to work. ~ Look out for my next post, which will be coming sometime very soon! ~ (A little marketing never did anyone any harm, right?)
