Tis the season.

For years “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” Live “Where the Light Is” version has been my favorite song. The lyrics, the inflection John Mayer provides to certain parts making them almost conversational, the guitar solos…it just gets me every time. For the first time, the lyrics successfully captured a relationship, and I didn’t even realize it until the time had passed. Talk about a blown moment! Random opening, but necessary tidbit I had to share.

I wanted to write a long life update but I don’t think I feel comfortable trying to explain my emotions right now. I don’t feel very sure; of my love interests, of my future, of my happiness. I do know that my family and friends really are the best. Redundant and cliche, but lately I look around at the bar at my favorite idiots spilling or serving drinks, at my parents as I spend my Sundays with them at church and dinner, at my oldest and dearest friends spread across the world making my heart hurt because I miss them so much, and I think of how damn blessed I am. It’s the season for appreciating blessings and I am putting forth 110% to do so. I am sucking up every single drop left of the most wonderful time of the year, my most favorite time.

I’m somewhat at a loss for words. I don’t want to share a lot. A first! So, have a wonderful holiday season. Whatever you may celebrate, enjoy the moments. Oh, and I know my first 2012 resolution: delete myself from various email mailing lists. Too much spam. That applies to other aspects as well: clearing out the clutter.

May the rest of your December days be bright.
