All of us are made up of our own stories. I thought I had beaten the blues and actually responded quite cheerfully while I was out for coffee the other day with a friend. She had read my first blog where I came out of the closet as a Christmas grinch. Well not a grinch exactly just a deflated elf. She asked how it was going this year. Her enthusiasm was compelling and I rushed to get my suit on just to spend ten minutes in our magic kingdom of the first snowfall.
