Holding of Wrist

It’s Thursday, December 22nd, around 6, and I can hear the raindrops on the rooftop. I’ve called my sisters apartment “home” for the past few days. I Wondered around Richmond City, walked to the same 7-Eleven each morning JUST for the freedom of walking through the streets, had crappy 7-Eleven pizza with my sister,which actually wasn’t that bad, and almost had an electrical fire.

It’s been a lot of fun! I mean, sure I can do the same thing back home, but back home there are no streets, there are no 7-Elevens, and the most adventure you get is walking through the same woods you’ve walked through millions of times before. Just the thrill of adventure down here is fun, and as we approach the holidays, even more fun! 

Yep, it’s holiday time already- kind of hard to believe. The time when people rush to the stores to get those gifts that they spend sometimes months thinking about, and just seconds to give away, time to decorate the Christmas tree, light the candles, take time off of work, and spend ALL your time with friends and family. When lights line the streets and you can see the Christmas tree all lit up through windows. 

The holidays can also be a difficult time for many. It can be a time of loneliness, depression, economic stress, separation from family or loved ones, and personal grief. We want you to know that you’re not alone in what you’re going through. People can and do relate to you, your situation, and what you’re feeling. You’re loved now more than ever, just please remember that this year.

With that, I must let you know that Holding of Wrist will be shutting down December 23rd-27th. E-mails will be read, however, they will not be replied to till the 28th. I hope that all of you have a fantastic holiday. And even if you don’t have someone to spend it with, make the most of it- it only comes around once a year.

Love you all,
