Christmas day-
I woke up when grace and kaylen were being loud while getting ready this morning,
it was alright, I was having one of those dreams where I felt completely left out. I heard jenny
talking downstairs, and was excited to have someone to hang out with for awhile so early in the
morning. There was coffee in the pot, a christmas surprise, even though it happens most every day,
it always makes me happy when I don't have to make coffee, it's just already there.
So, anyway, I hung out with jenny and her friend joey, Smoked cigarettes, drank wine....then took a
shower and headed over to my parents house, which is where I am now. It's good to see my whole family
all together, all at once.
I've been waiting almost all month for christmas to be over, for this year to be over and for a new one
to begin. But I've got to say that december was in fact a very good month for me. It started out with getting
dumped by my girlfriend, which was difficult to deal with, but couldn't have come at a more perfect time,
and I had little choice but to take it in stride, I've been getting my shit together for college, writing songs,
making new friends, and working nearly full time.
Last night I was thinking about the big transitions that have happened in my life within the past year,
and the timing was always very good and led to something else.
I've also been running through my head a line from a dan bern song, the line is- "sometimes you gotta get lost until you wind up some place new." I like that line a lot, I've been so lost, and I'm getting someplace new, someplace that I really do belong, and then I'll probably feel lost again, and just have to move on without fear, fear slows down any natural human progress.
Merry christmas.
Peace.
