This is a good year and it is leading into another. I’ve had a good year with my partner and a good year personally in terms of growth and progress in my career. Production is low, but that is a story for the coming year. I expect to be better. No, this is not the resolutions blog. That comes later. Still I am thinking about change and growth and all of those things that makes each holiday season special. Just last year I was scrambling to figure out how to pose the Elf on the Shelf and worrying over if my kid was too old to believe in such things (answer: yes, though I wanted to believe in Santa till I was 10). Now I’m doing a makeover for the boys that reflects how much older they’ve gotten and approaches those needs in a way that looks good and creates a sense of cool about their space.
Most importantly, I am thinking about my future with my partner and falling into the idea of the things we can do beyond just taking care of our swath of children.
It is a good year and I am happy and grateful for it. Even the negative that befalls me serves as a reminder of the things that matter and what makes them matter. That is really the story of Xmas for me–having time with family to just ‘be’
Some Thoughts:
- Moving to the championship for Fantasy. There were 8 and now there are 2. There can be only one.
- Still have gifts to wrap. Geez…
