I feel a little disheveled this holiday season. Work has brought on lots of new responsibilities and I’m still figuring out how to handle it all. So instead of trying to summarize this holiday season I think I’ll just stick to my list making tendencies.
1. Today I walked in the rain. It reminded me of days in Paris and London; cold, gray and drizzly. The feel of the raindrops dripping from my hair and down my nose was nothing short of spiritual for my soul.
2. I really want to see “The Artist“.
3. I had a holiday cookie made for me that looks reminiscent of the Abominable Snowman from the old Christmas clay-mation specials. It was delicious and very appreciated.
4. Smoked my first cigar in a while with my good friends Matt, David and Luke. There’s nothing better than a band Christmas dinner.
5. I’ve come to realize that my friends are some of the most genuine and creative people I could ever meet. Artists, musicians, dreamers, communicators, actors, writers and agitators. If I could be half as creative as any single one of them, I’d be incredibly happy.
6. New beginnings are beautiful and perfect, especially during this hectic time of year.
7. If you haven’t seen Hugo yet, do it. Seriously, like right now.
8. My dog brings me more happiness and laughter than I could have ever imagined. I can’t even fathom the thought of not having her in my life.
9. A good cup of coffee can cure just about anything.
10. I’ve come to the conclusion that I still want to be a journalist.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my friends, no matter what religion you are. I hope everyone gets to take some time off and focus on the important things in life; family, friends, freedom and forgiveness.
