This word seems appropriate for a lot of reasons lately. I like the word. It's not used very much and I think that is one of the reasons that I find it so interesting. I remember Christmas time when I was younger. This magic that it seemed to possess right around the night before Christmas eve. I miss the fun of how it used to be. The fun before all of the hectic days with shopping and money and time. However these past few days have really brought out memories that I thought were forgotten. We went and looked at lights tonight. My mom took all of us girls while my dad was at work and it was nice. Tomorrow is Christmas eve and thats always exciting. In the morning we will go over dani's and exchange gifts. Theeen off to church later that night.
I also remember past relationships. Whenever they get brought up I get a little bitter. Some ended badly. Some ended just fine. I suppose the ending doesn't matter so much as the beginning and during. As with anything, defining moments stand out. I bring it up because I had a very nice conversation with an ex today. Pieces of my heart stay with them..and probably always will. With the others...all of the others...I have snatched those pieces back and carefully placed them back together. But the missing ones that are with the one person...will stay missing. I like that. So do they.
I'm drinking tea a lot lately. Maybe it's because I feel sophisticated when I do. Maybe it's because I'm sick and have no voice. Maybe it's because I love the taste. All three? Okay.
I probably wont post in the next two days so...Merry Christmas to everyone. Be safe and have a great time. I'm thankful for all that I have during this season. I have been blessed with a beautiful life and beautiful people to accompany me through this walk that I take each day. If I've talked to you once, five times, or daily...know that I appretiate you gracing me with your existance. I learn something new from everyone. Yes, that means you. Thank you all.
I'm not asking for much this christmas. However...if I was...I would add these lookers onto the list:
