Eva’s Byte #502 – On the Outside, Looking In

In the aftermath of light snow, on a gloomy morning with a biting chill of 34 degrees, I set out for my last trip in the capacity of a caregiver. Essentially, heading to the end of the road.

In the midst of braking during heavy commuter traffic, I was serenaded by Andy Williams’ “Happy Holidays” on the local twenty-four-hour Christmas station. Diverting my attention to the houses nearby, their illuminated windows indicated creatures were stirring. Perhaps, some sipped a hot cup of coffee while basking inside the warmth of their home.

Hoop-de-do and dickory dock!

I look forward to reclaiming the warmth of hearth and home without the encumbrance of anxiety.

In the capacity of a writer, it’s been a slow crawl, but I hope to pick up the pace along the journey of my Contemporary work in progress. Currently, the draft of chapter 7 has progressed to 602 words.

*May each of us find time to enjoy our favorite seasonal activities.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
