Thanksgiving + Christmas without people

I'm not special: I'm aware of the losses piling up in the world every day; of people suffering far more than I ever have. When I count losses, I also can count blessings. The past couple of years I've lost family to heart disease and lung disease. I've lost friends to addiction and related diseases. They're not around for the holidays anymore. I'm grateful for those who are and try to show them in action, not just lip service. I put this out for all like me who find themselves missing other people

Don't forget what Skittles once said about the ongoing beauty of this place: "someone's always here." Which means you'll always have someone to talk to.

Thank you for that beautiful vision and the great guitar music. This is a blue season for me too, but I have bookmarked your song because listening is sure to help me keep on sailing.
