Winter's so decorative and colorful.

The frost designs on the house windows.

Branches of trees and bushes coated in white.

Icicles dripping water from the sun's warmth.

Christmas lights in various colors almost appear psychedelic at night.

You get so cold your skin changes colors.

And your dogs color your snow covered lawn in yellow.

I've had so many childhood memories of Christmas.  For some reason they just keep swirling out of my memory and into my days.

And thank you for the nice complements.  

Putting things into messages like this has helped me so much, and it's great having friends like you to share those messages with!

We'll all look back some day and see how far we have all come, and keep going...and find happiness...somehow and someday!

Wishing you peace.  

Your Good Grieving friend,

Michael

Michael,

I love your outlook on life your little things you share always make me smile, thanks for sharing. It's funny I've never really been that into Christmas, I always have thought people go overboard and losing sight of the true meaning. But this year all my neighbors have decorations up. It truly is beautiful I love all the lights! I'm glad some people feel like celebrating. My kids are definitely excited, I hope you have the best holiday you can

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
