Fake it 'til You Make It

This is the time of year when I need to force myself to keep moving forward. My brain doesn't do change very well but at least I recognize that. A lot of change is in the air and I can feel the footing getting slippery. I will remove myself from the company of friends and refrain from making too much eye contact. It's how I cope. Not what anyone would likely recommend but it's what I do this time of year. I just cope. And hope.
