Holidays have always been a sort of anxious time of the year with lots of misplaced energy. We go in search of the perfect holiday, the perfect gifts, the perfect scene, the perfect time all in a vain attempt to qualify our holiday as something accomplished. The irony of this is self-evident - the holiday season is already perfect despite all the commericalization that we are bombarded with all December long. I guess I haven't always felt that way, but a change has occurred. How I view the world externally and more importantly the microcosm that I hold internally has now become much fuller. Dreams, values, beliefs, and the pursuit of a grand adventure have been unfolding before me both in action and in thought in everything that I get to experience. I am so blessed in this holiday and this year to have all the people in my life that I do. I have never felt so happy to have a family and friends that love me and teach me so much. My life would be a shadow of the quality that it is without them. This is a great thank you to God for giving me these people and may I be always eternally grateful for them.
