reasons, seasons, lifetimes
i don’t believe in coincidences. in fact, i’m usually the first person to recognize that my steps have always been “ordered”, but after reading an entry about “destiny”, i’m taking time now to reflect upon the “reasons”, “seasons” and “lifetimes” that i’ve encountered during my journey. as i sit here and think, i am awestruck. every.single.person in my life has served a purpose, no matter how small. i can pinpoint various lessons that i’ve learned over the years from both my triumphs and tragedies. i give thanks for it all. my reasons, those that although they may no longer be with me, have helped me discover parts of my character (good and bad) that may have otherwise gone unnoticed…my seasons, those that had a major impact on me for the brief time that they were intertwined in my life…my lifetimes, those people that i could not bear to live without…those people whom, although i may not communicate with everyday, i carry with me in my heart…always. thank you all.

this christmas
hang all the mistletoe
i’m so excited that i can barely contain myself. the christmas decorations are almost complete. the shopping will begin in a few days. my vacation is almost here, but none of that matters. my heart beats quickly in anticipation of seeing you.
i’m gonna get to know you better…this christmas
this will be our first christmas…hopefully the first of many. i’m nervous (as usual). so many unknowns. my comfort is knowing that as soon as i look into your eyes…my windows to heaven…all of my anxiety will disappear.
presents and cards are here, my world is filled with cheer…and you…this christmas
as usual, you’ll bounce in like a ray of sunlight…shining a light on my world that i didn’t even know was possible until we met. my holidays have just gotten a whole lot better…now that i know that you’ll be here.
the fireside’s blazing bright
well…i don’t have a fireplace. you know that downstairs is cold and upstairs is about 90 degrees (lol). but wherever we choose to spend our time…in my space…i can’t wait to be cuddled up with you.
we’re “caroling” through the night
does this even need an explanation? there’ll be no “silent nights” for you and i. i’m sure that our voices will sing in unison night after night after night. 
and this christmas…will be…a very special christmas…for me…
baby, i can’t wait.

what a difference
what a difference a year makes. wow. i’m an old crow…well, in spirit at least. and i’m relatively set in my ways. so it’s surprising to me to look back on this year and look at how much my life has changed…how i have changed…
…or maybe not. could it be that this was just a layer of my true self that has only recently been given the opportunity to be revealed? the softer, sensitive, vulnerable side of myself. i like her.
