Heart's Song.

I don't know why that's in my head right now. I just keep coming back to 'What is my heart's song'?. What am I really passionate about. What will my mark (however big or small) on this planet be. Truthfully though, that's not really important. Love your family, love your friends, love yourself. Things feel strangely peaceful right now. Like in the eye of the storm-ish.

This is the first year in quite a while that I've missed the old days of putting up Christmas stuff. When you have my Mother, you can understand wanting to take a few years off. That Woman has more Christmas stuff than Jesus. As a bachelor I've never put up decorations....no point really. But that time with family, looking through boxes and boxes, putting the tree up (or in my Mom's case- TREES), listening to Christmas music. It is truly a magical time.

December 1st, 2011. - I suspect 2012 will have nothing but crazy surprises through and through. Why would it be different than any other year in recent history?! It would be nice for things to be mellow and relaxed. Just 365 of coolness. But, is that ever in the cards? Does anyone ever look back at a year and remember only the relaxing parts? I don't think so. But they were there. We're all just too much of drama queens to focus on that stuff. I think I'm going to do a project this coming year- everyday write down something that I am thankful for, that day. And at the end of the year, see what all happened and if I could remember why I was thankful for what. That sounds cool.

Anyway, love to you and yours and mine and ours.

Oliver.
