Here and Gone...
Stomping around the mountains this morning for work, we turned a corner and the wind stopped, upping the temp 10 degrees, and further UNreminding me that it is the holiday season. It's easy not to get swept up in the "I'm alone during the holidays" musings when it feels like summer vacation every day.
I put my friend on an airplane very early this morning, so very thankful for the decade of friendship we have, and the company I got to keep during Christmas. A familiar face in this city (that ISN'T someone that was paid (or is paid) money to co-mingle with me five days a week) is truly fulfilling. It was the first peek out of this dark funk that I've been nursing since arriving back in San Diego. We drove, we laughed, we sipped wine, we held hands, and we talked about everything that two people could ever possibly talk about, all in five days. If I have to be without my family, if I have to be without Torrie and Tommy and if Flyboy never wants to speak to me again, this is the perfect way to do it...
Find someone I adore and be near them.
I don't think I've laughed so much in several years.
That's all I really wanted for Christmas...
