POLITICALLY CORRECT SEASONS GREETING
Best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all;"
AND . . .
a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regard to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences of the wishes."
(Disclaimer: This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Hey Kids! I sent off my last paper Thursday night! My second to last semester is OVER! [insert wild applause here!]
And now, my glazed over eyes are in some serious need of non-computer time.
SO. . . I'm taking a break from screen time. Until the natural sparkle returns to my eyes; until my butt stops complaining about sitting; until I've gone out to play and play and play; until I've made some cookies; until I'm ready to throw myself back into blogging. It might be a few days before I post, so happy holidays to all who read, and I'll see 'ya on the other side of this break!
