be ye

thankful.

for all things.


there are always some kooky delightful moments whenever families get together. it's a good thing too because most days are so drab that we forget how wonderful the zany times can be.
throw in a few butt-smacks, well-placed sarcastic digs, corny jokes where everyone groans and a long day full of good food, and life just doesn't get much better.

all this holiday is making me feel nostalgic about this coming Christmas. which is weird, because it hasn't happened yet. I just feel like it's going to be one to be nostalgic about for the rest of our lives, like the signal of an end to an era, a grand dynasty... and it's making me sort of melancholy and wistful for the past that it's going to be.

illogical, perhaps, but quite true.

I'm nostalgic for the future, and contented with the present.

this is a good life, to be sure, but for some reason the future seems like it's going to be even better.


what is this? could it be a sign of optimism... from ME?
to be sure.
a strange thing, but a good thing.


here's to a nostalgic-worthy tomorrow!
