The Balance

It's the time of year when we send and receive so many holiday greetings. Last year, I was so overwhelmed with "the fall that I did too much" that I just gave up on trying to send out cards. Of course, I could have just sent out an e-newsletter, but I'm just not into that. I happened to receive one today, and while I did sort of want to know what was going on with this person, I found her news to be...incredibly...boring. Maybe, it was the lack of show not tell writing (I am an English teacher, mind you). Maybe, I just wasn't in the right mood (I am an unemployed English teacher, mind you). Maybe, it was really boring. When I talked to my lovely soul mate about it, he said that it was telling about the kind of life the sender probably leads. Hmm. Now, I'm feeling guilty for finding it boring (oh, that Catholic upbringing). So I'll try to be less judge-y. It is the holiday season after all.
