i think every year, the holidays are just another few days in a year when we get off work…for such a commercialized holiday, i no longer felt like there are such things as christmas spirit…you walk around and see the salvation army folks ringing their bells, collecting for money. all i can think of is “where is the money going?” driving around, i saw the insane line going in and out of the malls…went into target and saw the mountain of stuff that people were buying. what happened to the thought and the well wishes…
of course, i say that now…but don’t get me wrong…i love the whole getting presents thing. we got home from alexis’s dad’s place for dinner…it was our version of xmas dinner…and we got lots of presents…that was fun.
just ambivalent about it i suppose…but in any case…if you’re actually reading this…merry xmas to you and yours…

turkey day this year came and went…quite an event with 10 people - friends and family…two bottles of wine and some other liquor later, it was definitely a party. lots of food, lots of sweets, lots of laughter, and lots of people equals a nice time. i think maybe that’s what i’m thankful this year…friends and family…

i’ve spent so long, distancing myself away from a world that i thought i didn’t belong to. i’ve spent so long thinking that i didn’t want to be part of a culture that has been so ingrained in me. and yet…i find myself drawn to it because it is comforting, because it draws me, and because within its parameters, i feel some measure of home?
strange…

when the soul is separated, the heart remains empty. when the light returns, two becomes one, and all is right again.
my family is whole again…
