So This Is Christmas...

I'm sitting here in the Vitamin D inducing glow of an anti SADS light that my dad recieved as a gift from his fiancee. I have got to get one of these for myself. In other news the gift haul this year has been quite excellent. My personal favs so far are the Stratocaster belt buckle from Martha and a book by Jose Saramago from my sister. (if anybody cares this guy is the greatest novelist on the planet). So we're sitting around doing crosswords and drinking Irish Cream and coffee. Pretty normal. The turkey prep is going strong in the kitchen. Martha is going to come pay me a visit at some point which is awesome. I need to go to my house and pick up her present because I thought she was going to be up-island today. Hurray!! So all in all I'm really jonesing to play some guitar so I will leave you with this thought.

In our lives there come times when we get to choose to take a leap or to resist change. I'm doing my best to balance the two. There will come a time (very soon I imagine) in which the choice is no longer left to me and I'm going to have to take that leap. What I want to say is how thankful I am for the teachers, friends and family I have around me who have made that eventuality much less frightening, and even exciting. You are the support that allows me to be greater than the sum of my parts. So thank you, Merry Christmas, and know that if you are my friend co-worker or other associate of mine I'm thinking of you today and wishing you all the happiness in the world. You people rock my world everyday.
