holiday yearnings

A woman at work told me how excited she was to be going home for the holidays - that she was so thrilled to be able to pull her family together for a couple of days and immerse herself in the happy hubbub. Her words and her pure enthusiasm made my throat seize and my stomach clench. I was surprised by the visceral reaction that I had. Surprised at how much the vision of being surrounded by good friends and family made me want it in my own life right now.

I think I'm experiencing a strong case of the "can't haves" which will likely hit me in various ways over the next year and a bit. It gave me a huge reason to pause and to remember that I'm thinking of you (yes, you!) and all those beautiful souls who make up my life. Happy holiday season! Soak up the happy, joyful spirit this season - fill your boots with it! Thank you for your love!
