On many of the blogs I’ve been reading lately authors talk about the many situations they are going through, how trying these are and how incredibly stressed their lives have become – myself included. We each have our particular way letting off steam: knitting, writing, crafting, reading, participating in one or several fandom activities…
Life is hard and complicated enough without others judging how one chooses to let off steam. I think that when we live and let live, we don’t have the need to criticize, judge, or condemn others. Each of us is dealing with our own set of situations – some severe, some not so much yet all are struggles for each of us individually. So why not let others live their own lives and we live ours in the best way we know how.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy this lovely cake, perhaps with a side of chocolate ice cream! When in doubt, chocolate is always the answer!
Cake baked this afternoon in honor of Ancient Armitage

And of course this post would not be complete without a gratuitous Richard Armitage cap
