On Day-12 of 16-day San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale Panama Canal transit cruise. When I need to escape the news, I go here: https://share.google/NltXY6UWbiTF9upMW . Sina-Drums demonstrates superb taken in her drum covers.
I live this in my business of guiding foraging walks here in Israel: from around November to January, there's just not much out there. The fall fruits and berries have rotted away, and the winter sprouts are barely starting to come up.
Nothing wrong to fix, just the death that precedes all new life.
Thanks, Fran! I was a little nervous about sending this one out -- you can't throw every pitch over the plate, you know? -- but I decided to go for it anyway 😀 Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
this did not go where i thought it was going which made it all the more enjoyable! sometimes non-traditional is the best. happy holidays to you, terrell and all in this community. 🐧
I hope that's a good thing! Right back at you, Erinn -- happy holidays to you, and I hope you get plenty of time off here at the end of the year to enjoy 😀
That sounds SUPER interesting, Clark -- going to add it to my list today. And right back at you, to you and yours -- may 2026 bring you equally precious joy!
Exactly what I needed to hear. At times this year has felt so overwhelming sad I didn't know what to do with myself. But you're right, even one person can make a difference. This community has been a lifeline, and I thank you for bringing us all together. Happiest of holidays to everyone and here is to a more peaceful 2026!
Good stuff Terrell. Certainly true for half of the country and maybe more now that maga reality has set in. I have solace here on Substack. There is multitude good energies here. Many different approaches to belief and survival in today’s turmoil. Great writing and lovely art and humans. Hopefully, this will grow into the new year. Happy Trails

So true, we're really in an in-between time now.

Very well said, Shmuel!
I’ve probably seen weirder, but it’s not a competition. As usual, you rock! Like James Brown...

Book recommendation for 2026: Moral Ambition by Rutger Bregman. Tagline: Stop wasting your talent and start making a difference.
I bought it to give myself
the proverbial " kick in the ass"! James Brown might get me out of bed but I think this will keep me going... keep you posted Terrell.
And thanks for always finding that "special something" to help me get my miles in each day.
Happy Holidays to the Johnson family. May 2026 bring your precious clan much joy‼️♥️‼️

Thanks Terrell. If you do get a chance to read it, I will be interested in your "take".
I like the stark authenticity in "the weirdest Christmas/holiday email ever received". A change from the longer versions of a Hallmark card.
Looking forward to what's next from you in 2026.
Thanks so much, Glenda!

So glad to hear that, Katy! Happiest of holidays to you and yours too!

I hope so too, Jerry! Thanks so much for that -- hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year, my friend!
