I saw three shooting stars last night. Looking up at the billions and billions of stars made me feel so insignificant in such a good way. I mean this as a total positive thing; I don’t matter, old conflicts don’t matter, and what we do doesn’t matter. We really are free to do whatever we want, within certain boundaries obviously. Knowing that, we’re free to truly enjoy the time we have together. I know this time isn’t long, but it’s a gift, and it should be special. Combination of lots of thinking time last night and driving around for 4 hours today delivering my mom’s confectionary masterpieces to random people I haven’t seen for a year was good thinking time, not to mention good “have the music up and sing really loud” time”. I didn’t even realize until my mom came in stressing today that Christmas is in five days and I leave in three. Wow…so much to do! The one thing I don’t like about Christmas is that it’s become an excuse for people to be extra shallow, and it loses the meaning behind gift giving. But all that aside, it brings out a lot of good in people too, and it’s a really fun time of year, so I’m excited. Alright, I’m off
