Winter finds me with family. I have retired from school for December and well into January. The stress of grades, work, and loans have not left me, and is making the holiday quite depressing. Right now I find solace in drawing, and my older dog who is slumbering at my feet. She just turned 12 and will be missed when she passes. It has been really a somber and uneventful day.
