Gracias

I guess I’m all warm in fuzzy inside? Spending hours with my silly family, getting dog hair in my mouth, possibly all the delightful food. It might be all the coffee and bottled spirits.

I get sentimental a little less than a handful of times a year, but I think this time of year is a good time to kind of evaluate what I’ve done over the past year and maybe squeeze a little more fun out of the remaining 30-ish days….keeping my options open and schedule full……In my typical list format:

1.  Laughter.  It’s important to laugh and be near people that make you laugh. it's the one infection i don't mind spreading/receiving

2.  Solo vacations and group vacations.

3.  Flexible work schedule – although I take being employed for granted this year –eh not so much right now – I’ve been very fortunate to work in a place that would rather save money by letting me go on multiple vacations, than pay someone to keep a controllable workflow. Thanks !??!

  

4. Goodbye Gallbladder Disease!!  That nasty little waste filter is outta my life forever !!!

5.  Corndog-O-Rama – New music, new ideas, new flavors, and new traditions. 100% FUN!

6.  My iphone surviving a tumultuous year of physical abuse and neglect  -cracked, shattered, and chipped glass and you still work!  - I knew you’d get through the tough times ole pal!

7.  Intuition & Common sense – Don’t leave home without it.

 

8.  Theme Parties – roll out the red carpet, crimp your hair, put on your tailored duct tape outfit, go ahead and fill your 90-degree kitchen with 500 lbs of sand – and dance dance dance the night away……  

9.  Grilled cheese.

10.  Being there.  I’m thankful I was able be there for people that needed me this year.  It’s never really easy, in fact, sometimes it’s outright the worst thing imaginable – but you still gotta be there.  Maybe it’s my naïve belief in humanity or karma or that within reason you can find good in everyone (I am hopeful) - if I ever needed a hand i like to think someone would do the same for me.  



11.  t-pain

12.  Random Rancid and Lucero Shows in Boston - 5 different nights of awesomeness 

 

***Cliff Notes Version: Enjoy every day, open your heart, laugh a lot, do something that terrifies you, listen, learn, and just be honest with yourself . . . .
