Merry and Bright

I’m going to just come right out and say this, I’ve been struggling. This blog isn’t going to be about how or why, because I’ve already talked about those things. But it’s going to be a promise to myself that next year will be different. It’s going to be different because I won’t let this year continue into that one.

I got sick and had to stop running for a bit, and since the winters are cold in Indiana, I’ll be running in the gym more, but I’m going to keep up with that. The good news is one day I’ll be okay. And that’s what I want to give people at the end of this year, something to look forward to. There’s that quote I’ve said a few times about everything is okay in the end, and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end. But there’s always a moment where we want it to be the end, when we’re definitely not okay, and we desperately want to be.

And that is my firm belief, that we will be okay. We will find a way to maintain contentment, and every now and then feel that pinch of happiness that makes us wonder why we don’t feel that way all the time.

It’s going to be okay. I wish you and yours a happy holiday season, and if the holidays are especially difficult for you, know that you are seen and known and loved. I don’t need to know a thing about you to know you are worth loving. Be safe, keep holding on, and remember that the sun will always rise tomorrow.

Until next time, friends.

Summer 2021 Hiatus

Salisbury Fake is going on a short break for the rest of June and first two weeks of July. Posts will resume July 17.

I’d like to take a moment to say thank you to those of you who come back to read my blog posts week after week. I know they can be a bit scattered and sometimes morose, but I am truly grateful you continue to stop by. I can’t do giveaways or anything super fancy, but if you’d ever like to receive a poem from me written just for you, or a personalized “hey, how are you, what’s your favorite breakfast food?” message, please request it here https://salisburyfake.wordpress.com/contact-me/ using this link. Or if you’d like to say hi, or tell me my feet smell weird (although if you know that, please don’t tell me, because it means you’ve gotten close to me and I didn’t know).

Until next time, friends.
