holiday message

i saw i actually titled a post in 2008 as holiday message. as though i had so many messages that year, i should go ahead an dedicate one as my holiday message. how cool.

but this year? i don't have so many messages. since my youngest was born, i just haven't had a lot of time to blog...and my thoughts haven't been too, uhm, write-able either.

but here are some things i've learned this year...

people are amazing. maybe it's just the ones i know, but really, people are pretty incredible in lots and lots of ways.

sometimes things have to break before they can be fixed.

some things never get fixed...

sometimes you think you can't do something, or you just don't fucking care, but with time, you realize you can and you do and you should try not to fuck things up too badly in the between time.

faith in god means faith in people. i just don't think there's any getting around that. (and i have tried...and tried...)

showing up is, in fact, the secret to life. or at least thus far. but seriously.

and last, but certainly not least...it is totally okay to fuck up. really. i'm serious.

and that is it.

my family is sick. and that's been kind of sweet and cool (as well as crappy and snotty). whatever i didn't get done, well, it won't get done. and it's going to be great anyway. hope your holidays rock.

peace
