Exams are over, traumatic as they were. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and all is well, even though it is not. Christmas has a way of making it so. It's nearly midnight and I should be sleeping, but I think I'm excited about Christmas. And I want to savor this feeling of hope and pleasure-going to sleep will end this natural buzz, and I want to prolong it.
In spite of my schedule, and all of the chaos of life, I think I have two friends. This is a rare gift, once one has passed the point of young parenthood, and I do not take it for granted. Two souls who seem to share my appreciation of life and some of the same path, but enough different to keep me thinking, and willing, I think, to call me on my shit. We shall see, I know I need to nurture these friendships. This is my gift to myself this year-to be a friend and to have a friend. Merry Christmas
