Holiday reflections
Five days at Disney with the family...very different as an adult...disappointed by an old friend...so much love for my nieces...Ann Marie is me...Jessie cuddles up on my chest...family interactions give me insight into myself...Return home to work...wow, DC is home now...I love my job...send holiday cards to my business contacts...sing in the hallways...they appreciate my spirit...gifts for my secretary...she will get through this...I love my job...
Lawyerly wine-tasting Friday...bonding with co-workers...trip to Cowgirl Creamery...happy hour with school buddies...thoughts wander in directions I don't want...just walk away...safer...
LS-BFF weekend...time to re-charge...you complete me...mucho sangria and a shark of a waiter...nix depressing conversation...new favorite bar...I'm fun in a sassy hat...smooched by a secret serviceman...
Ice skating in the city...lunch at the museum...truly enjoying the company...Viking football with a good buddy...realize how much I miss my friends...holiday baking...the southern gal that can't master pralines...
Christmas Eve dinner with the Italian family...presents and homemade Lemoncello...they make me Santa...the whole family together...late night movie...sofa-cuddling with the cousins...
Wake up Christmas day to work...so sick of the Second Amendment...holiday baking and wine with a good friend...amazing how connections are made...reflecting on scary life changes...how hard are you willing to fight?...walk away but always look back...only one single Merry Christmas call from back home...out of sight out of mind I guess...I don't even realize it...what used to hurt doesn't hurt anymore...
Good friends...time with myself...pushing away thoughts of last year...no regrets...better off now...lucky to have the ability to pick and chose people in my life...so many great people around...reflect at the end of the day...Christmas 2007 was all I could have wished for and then some.
Hope yours was wonderful!
