best of ’09: moment of peace
find the rest of the #best 09 bloggers here.
if you’ll allow me to be so crass for a moment: these last few weeks have been a total shitstorm of emotion.
ahem.
isn’t the mere IDEA of a storm of SHIT enough to make you puke?
that’s how i’ve been feeling.
but something about the holidays, even with the shit storm (it’s just fun to say. i’m sorry, mom) is so peaceful and warm. i think this year has been the one that i’ve found the most peace. i’ve been able to relax. and breathe. and maybe it has something to do with saving almost every extra dime (i’m sorry. i need sbux and the occasional bagel.) and the fact that christmas is going to be v. boring this year, at least commercially, but i have just felt so relaxed. i haven’t been cussing under my breath at idiots in parking lots, i haven’t fallen asleep in a pile of wrapping paper and tape, and i haven’t short-circuited the christmas tree. woo!
i’m sure i feel this way every year, but with the storm of… well. you know. i am paying closer attention to how much i appreciate those around me — you guys, my friends, and most of all, my family.
I’m pretty sure you get the award for using the word shit so many time in a post about peace. LOL. You crack me up. =)
This made me LAUGH, but yes, Starbucks = sanity.
Aw girlie, I appreciate you :) You always make me smile.
Hope you are wearing a hat and scarf through the poo storm. Because a girl has got to feel cute and cozy, regardless.
Heehee.
Hope you continue to enjoy the peace and happiness of this season! I feel different about it all this year, too…I’ve been busy, but I don’t feel like I’ve lost my breath – or my joy, for that matter. And that’s huge.
