and so this is

Christmas... just wanted to wish everyone a joyous holiday. Hoping yours is spent with loved ones, or good company. Nothing like a few days set aside every year to act like the transgressions of the past are forgotten. Enjoy it while you have them around, life is too short to hold on to animosity. If you have wronged others in the past I hope you can find the strength to apologize and if you have been wronged I will be so bold as to suggest you forgive those that wronged you. The season shouldnt be about getting things or giving but about the commonality of experiences. We have all done things we shouldnt have and we all would have done it differently if we could go back, alas its not possible so make the best of the hand youve been dealt and have to work with. Make amends where the are needed. Life can be simple and enjoyed or complex and lamented. Seems an easy choice.

I have finally gotten my flight and everything ready to leave. I feel good about this next part. fresh and clean, shorn of things that i had been dragging around. Alcoholics Anonymous may be onto something when they say one day at a time, but for me it isnt about sobriety so much as living in the now. Tomorrow will happen, yesterday already has happened, my focus is on this moment and living it. So no more wanting or judging, I am just going to relax and enjoy the ride.
