Blessings and Curses, version two.
This is not my holiday. Hasn't been for a long time.
I'm from a small family of introverts. And when there were no more young children to do it up for, we stopped doing it.
I've spent christmases holed up in hotel rooms watching the godfather movies, on beaches drinking pina coladas, on the couch reading, in airports, and with friends flung near and far.
I'm not where I thought I wanted to be this year. Things happen, and plans don't always come together as we hope. It's all alright.
I'm happy where I am tonight - drinking and chatting with family. Watching the ocean, listening to the wind and the waves.
It's good.
And I'm feeling pretty blessed to have not only this, but other places I really wanted to be, and places I was wanted.
To have more loved ones than time to spend with them, makes you very lucky.
