And today was mostly happy. I mean, it's Christmas, and I woke up next to one of my best friends (in a platonic sense) only to get out of bed and find that my brother had gotten me an electric guitar (which I later named Alice). There was amazing food and great family time, and I love watching people opening gifts. (And I got some pretty damn amazing stuff myself.)
But there were tears. It's the first Christmas without my grandmother and the last Christmas Eileen (my aunt) will be around, and it's the second Christmas in a row we couldn't be with our whole extended family. So I got a little choked up. Okay, truthfully, I got a lot chocked up.
But I got to be with my family and an amazing friend, and I am so grateful that I got to talk on the phone with everyone. So the good outweighs the bad, even if the bad is more pronounced.
But through the good and bad today, I am grateful for:
- Alice. She's absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to really, for lack of a less sexual term, fool around with her.
- texting at a quicker rate with The Boy today. it was a nice Christmas surprise.
- getting to share this day with my brother. I'm going to miss him when he leaves.
- the awesome gifts I got today. They're beautiful and thoughtful, and they mean a lot, especially this year.
- realizing a few things about myself and my life these past few days.
I hope everyone had an amazing day and that it was filled with love and happiness, no matter what or if you celebrate.
