'Tis That Season

An army of fuzzy bears, chocolate hearts, and aromatic shrubbery has invaded the local stores in their traditional pink and red garb. The seige on my sanity begins anew. And like Sisyphus, all I can do is grit my teeth, duck my head, and try my best to ignore the world for a few weeks with the relentless certainty that it will all come around again.

Which is to say, if you're fortunate enough to have a "special someone" in your life, do take the time to let them know you appreciate them. Not everyone is as fortunate as you. And, as I have been reminded repeatedly over the last year, you never know when it might be your last chance to do so.
