Well, the dark period came a little early this year, compliments of an incredibly nasty virus from which I’m only just starting to recover.

It has been not fun, I tell you. I haven’t been can’t-get-out-of-bed sick for a long, long time. And I didn’t miss it. Hopefully, I’ll be sufficiently healthy to enjoy the tail end of the holiday season.

In the meantime, I just wanted to hop on and wish you all a merry and happy and healthy and joyous etc. and to remind you that there will be no “Rise and Shine” until the new year.

Stay safe and be well. I’m thankful for your readership and your support.

See you in 2025.

Best.

Liz
