Happy Holidays




I had visions of decorating Brynn for a nice Christmas card, but as you can see, she had her own ideas of what to do with the Christmas decorations. I was asked what I got for Christmas and while I didn't actually open anything on Christmas day, I had plenty to be thankful for. This year Santa brought me a new house, a new car, some new camera gear, a new dog and so many other things that I felt like the 9 year old who wished for a pony and actually got it. I think for me Christmas turned into thanksgiving as I looked back and realized how much I've been blessed this year. So many of my friends and their families have faced real tragedy recently; divorce, loss, getting fired and cancer impacted their lives and just the gift of my health and the people I love is enough to send me into a stilled gratefulness for what this year has been. This year I hope to live in the awareness of how blessed I am, even as I walk through minor inconveniences, like the rich, rank odor that emits from my farting puppy. I'm going to write a song... smelly dog, smelly dog... what am I feeding you? Seriously, I think I threw up in my mouth a little...
