Faded

The after Christmas rush and hype has faded.

I miss it.

Holiday Wishes

Happy holiday recovery day. Hope you got some rest, found that thing you lost in the wrapping paper, and was loved and appreciated by someone you care about.

Sincerely,

Season of Happy

Work, work, work, spend, spend, spend, give, give, give.  Love

Trying

My brother’s best friend died last week of cancer.  He told me he was sick, but he didn’t tell me that he had cancer, or that he had died.  It feels like he was trying to protect me.  That felt odd.

Yielding

The Last Jedi premiered today.

Oh, to release control, to trust enough to yield one’s mind to be consumed by another world,

a story once existing only in the mind of another.

Thanks Rian Johnson.

World Peace

There has been an ongoing discussion between these two about who owns this bed since they first became room mates.  If these two can come to a compromise, I’m now convinced there really is a chance for world peace.

Hanukkah

To my friends that begin the celebration of Hanukkah, I join with you in giving thanks to God and I honor the tradition of gratefulness during your time of ceremony.  I wish for you a holiday season embraced by the fullness of love.

I admire the example you set for me.  Throughout the centuries you have not been compromised by fads, wars, and economical irregularities. I respect you for preserving the sacred, and the sacredness of  religious symbols by protecting them from sweatshirts frosted with glitter.

I wonder what it is like for you and how curious it must seem.  God the creator of life, the origin of all wisdom, is reported to give humanity a prince; the only son He has, and a magical man celebrates it by singing Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer?  Thank you for the respect you have given me.
