No matter what holidays or holy days you celebrate,
no matter if you feast under palm trees or icicles,
this year
many things will be different.
You may be stuck at home, you may feel alone.
You may be struggling
instead of juggling
(gifts and dates, dates and dinners),
instead of hugging
(friends and family, near and far).
Still,
even this year,
– no, especially this year,
here are my wishes for you:
May your days be filled
with warmth and wonder,
with healing and happiness,
and much
joy.
And I hope you enjoy the cards I didn’t send this year either, because I donated the money instead. This year to “Doctors without Borders” for their current projects, and to NABU (the German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) for the protection of wolves in Germany.
(If you’ve been wondering what’s going on with me and you want to catch up, I’ve been actually blogging a lot this year, about lockdowns and Ausgangssperre, state of emergency and Kontaktbeschränkung… but only over on Dreamwidth. I simply didn’t have enough energy to x-post.)
