In body, here I am by the sea with my love and our houndling. Oh my, when did I become so sensitive to the sun?

Tonight, we toast Christmas with his family, a traditional dinner, vodka shots (eeeek!) and gifts.

In spirit, I am still overwhelmed by what was a difficult year. Moving in together, living in an unfinished house, work challenges for both of us, absorbing new routines and personalities and ways of being… It’s been tough.

Perhaps it’s a miracle, perhaps kizmet, but we’re still here. Today, we’re still here.

In my heart, I find myself wanting resolutions less and intentions more. That’s what I’ll be focussing on in these few blessed days before I return to work.

Happy holidays to you and yours. Blessings. Peace. Joy.
