and I have discovered that I have 3 good months of total empowerment in my life, every single year, from September to November. In December I become extremely nostaglic about the holidays and my late grandma and Charlie Brown...and as soon as the thing called January 2nd hits I'm depressed. And I remain depressed until mid to late May, when my enemy Winter lets go of his stranglehold on Spring and allows her to begin to undress for Summer...donning her bright green shorts and sunshine yellow tank top, painting her eyelids with swimming pool blue and her lips with shades of picnic watermelon and country fair pink cotton candy...tossing out her snowboots for her forget me not flipflops....
Summer is such a beautiful palette...as is Autumn...but Winter, I only want from Thanksgiving day to January 1st...and then I'm done. I want my summer..I can even sprint over Spring really because I hate pollen.
So this means that Mother Nature has split personalities...she's schizo! She's a warm, breezy night with eyes twinkling like fire flies, she's a cool, crisp morning, for football and pumpkin patches...she's a balance of good and evil as she springs forth to grab another golden ring of the year...and she's a beast in wolf's clothing, sneaking up on us when we least expect it...turning all things good to frozen pieces of what used to be.
So, my empowerment is continuing but it will end soon. I need that hobby to keep myself from falling down into the abyss of Winter's Darkness again.
Hobby...hobbies...Holly Hobbie...
