This week's challenge: Using exactly 33 words, compose a pithy summary of your feelings about the holidays.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Dream sweet dreams for you, dream sweet dreams for me
This post is in memory of Ben Wheeler. I never met him, but I feel like I knew him, and he has touched my heart.
He was 6 years old and he died one week ago today at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
He was a Scout and "he loved The Beatles, lighthouses and the number 7 train to Sunnyside, Queens."
I'm posting this Beatles song for little Ben.
