I hope not, because I truly do not want to be the center of anything. I certain that I do not want to hold court, just to be left alone, without everyone wanting something from me. All I want is a little peace.<br /><br />I am also guessing that it is selfish to want that and unlikely to happen. I so need this fallow time, and I need it to be long.<br /><br />However, I really do appreciate the wise and venerable crone part. Thanks so much for knowing so much and being so willing to share all of it.Simpletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701155376070268964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620991227664219037.post-53823222100385574962010-12-06T03:58:53.293-08:002010-12-06T03:58:53.293-08:00Just a passing hug. "holidays/holy days"...Just a passing hug. "holidays/holy days" at this time of year were, to my mind, a way of providing reassurance that change would happen, the earth would turn and we would get the opportunity to live a little longer. I suspect most people do not consider this aspect in all the family commitments and orgy of present giving. I wish your situation were different and people did not expect you to do the joining but came to you and did everything for you as I am attempting to do for my parents, so you could just sit and smile and hold court as the wise and venerable crone you are. I wish you a successful hibernation and everything which gives you sufficient energy to continue as you wish to continue.Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.com
