I am doing this by phone, because I lack the energy to stand let alone search out a laptop. I am drained by Xmas. While the day was wonderful it was also demanding. I have been up since 4am and making merry since at least five. It is worth it by far, but it takes a toll. Tomorrow I will sleep in as long as my body and spirit allow and then move forward towards this new year.
My partner noted that there is a certain sadness that accompanies Christmas’ end. I tried to downplay it but the fact is she’s right. The holiday is over and now it is on towards the new year. There is a lot to be done before that year arrives. Thankfully there is also a ton of time off that allows me the possibility of resetting my spirit for what is to come. I am happy and wiser then before. The health is a question mark, but I am firmly in the mindset of fighting this thing and being a better me for me, my partner, and my family.
Xmas has me drained and as I type these words I reflect on all the happiness I am blessed to receive. It is truly a wonderful life.
some thoughts:
- Fantasy football championship starts this Saturday and I am left to wonder who is actually going to take the field…
- speaking of football, I find it interesting that the Cardinals hire so many local athletes. Lots of Phoenix kids on that team.
- thats about it for me… clock is about done and so am I.
