visited my favorite spot today.
hardly a soul was there.
waited for the holiday spirit to wash over me but it never did. these days it never does.
instead tried to be present in the moment. half succeeded, half failed.
watched chris light up as he got to know our new camera.
tried to be undefended as he captured me. my critical mind is always in full swing.
we daydreamed about the future and our next chapter.
and watched the sun set from the edge of the world.
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!!
ReplyDeleteYou are exquisite. Truly truly truly.
ReplyDeleteChristmas IS optional, you know. I haven't done Christmas, and I have not let Christmas do me, since 2006. I think Christmas Annually is too often. It's just too disruptive to do it every year, and the frequency shatters the special-ness of Christmas and family and best friends. I truly love Christmas, but I love it done RIGHT - not half-assed and hurried and exhausted. Christmas should be savored for the entire month, slowly. Just 83 days until Spring...
