I've been reading headlines predicting a bleak winter. This is mainly due to COVID spikes and flu season coming upon us and the possibility of a "twindemic" of COVID and flu.
A contentious election that some still want to contest isn't helping.
And election season is still not over in my state of Georgia, where voting will soon start for two Senate seats. My son recently said that the campaign ads were like a war. He's not wrong.
No one's mental health is good right now.
I've thought about this "bleak winter" and I've come up with one antidote.
Color.
So recently, I fired the first shot in my one-woman war against this bleak winter.
I went to Walmart on Black Friday and bought an ugly Christmas sweater.
It's colorful, decorated with Christmasy decorations, and has a bunch of bells on it that jingle when you move.
Obnoxiously perfect, right?
Well, I think I will need to cut the bells off, because I want to wear this to church and constantly having bells jingle whenever you move is a little bit too obnoxious.
2020 has been a long year. It's been a bleak year. And winter is coming (nod to Game of Thrones).
One person may not be able to do much. But if I can bring some color to this bleak winter, I think it's a start.
Just my .04, adjusted for inflation.
