It's nearly Christmas. We'll be going to visit my parents for a couple of days soon, and with just about everything closed, naturally we have been staying home both to keep safe in preparation for our holiday visit, and simply because there isn't all that much to do these days. Normally I handle staying in quite well—I'm able to occupy myself with an exploration of my inner world and personal projects like drawing, painting, journaling, and reading. But something lately has me a bit more stir crazy than usual. I hope visiting with my family helps with this feeling. I think it will so long as things go smoothly. Truthfully, I'm a bit nervous, for reasons I won't explain here, but you know, the holidays can be difficult for some.
