Oh can you see it baby? You don't have to close your eyes 'cause it's standing right before you. All that you need will surely come.

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.

Lists and more lists for today and tomorrow. So many things to do and not even time, as far as I can see, for writing. But then, maybe I can sneak in some time when things quieten down this evening.

I love writing at night, when exhaustion hasn't claimed me. I am solitary and it's peaceful. I think my best creativity with words flows then. Unfortunately, I don't get too many of those given my days.

My co-writers will just have to find patience with me. I promise to make it up to them. Right now, I need to swallow as much coffee as I can manage, jump start my brain and get busy. My workout is first on my list. Get it out of the way before I get caught up with everything else.

The holidays are bittersweet for me. Family members seem to pick this time of the year to die. So, I decided. I can roll around in angst or I can bring out the best of times shared with those who have gone on, making them real and vivid for those who never got the opportunity to meet them. We share memories and laughter. There is, of course, a pang of regret for the loss we all know but there is also a gratefulness for having happy memories to share.

We are born to die. That's just the way it is. We can't escape it. There is no determination of when, not to our puny knowledge, that is. So, what does it become? About the journey, from here to there. About choices. We can dwell in sadness. We can dwell in misery. Feel sorry for ourselves or we can choose to remember all the good things. Struggles overcome, laughter shared, silly things we did together, moments that became, in our minds, a good day. For with the shadows, we are given the light.

Merry Christmas Momma, Uncle Eddie, Grandpa, Sis...

You are loved and missed. Thank you for the memories. :rose:
