Gift of the Season
Believe it or not, and I hardly do right now myself, I am happy.
It's been a long time since I felt really happy about life. The last few months have been such a whirlwind and while there have been many, many moments of laughter and fun and friends and family, I was beginning to feel swallowed whole. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't catch my breath. I have been so busy moving, traveling, visiting, house-sitting, dog-sitting, packing, unpacking, I was forgetting to take a moment for myself. And while I wouldn't trade any of the good times from the last several months for the world, it is a good feeling to know that I am starting to slow down again, that life will begin to fall back into some semblance of a routine.
I'll continue to travel, to go visit C in Chicago, to do things, to live life as much as I can, but I need to remember to take moments for myself, too. Moments purely for myself, selfish though it may seem, and constantly remind myself that this isn't a bad thing, nor is it truly selfish. This is my gift to myself this season; a reminder that I am worth the time taken for myself, and that I don't need someone else to qualify or quantify my self-worth.
Merry Christmas!

Random texting
I just received this text from C, on vacation in FL right now...
There is something completely awesome when Santa is handing out candy canes on the beach....and I can't agree with him more.
And the snow keeps falling...
It has continued to snow off and on all weekend. We have well more than a foot of snow right now, and more where it has drifted and where it has been plowed. I don't remember having this much snow before the holidays in a long time now. On top of the snow, we have had some bitter, bitter cold (it was 5 last night when I left my mother's house at 7pm) and right now it is 17. And snowing.
It sounds like it is going to get worse before it gets better over the next couple of days. Christmas Eve is supposed to bring freezing rain, sleet and more snow. However, it looks by the weekend we should be getting a little reprieve with temperatures in the upper 30s/lower 40s, so hopefully some of the snow will melt.
