So another Christmas has come and gone. Family was seen, food was eaten, laughter was had, snow was sledded, and gifts were given. Most of all it was a time to spend with friends and family.

For the last few days Dreamie and I have been a bit more active than usual. She has been shaking her fist in frustration that there is snow in her home town up in WA. Very rarely has there been snow there in her life. She comes and lives down here and gets pictures of her friends making full on igloos in the front yard. So I told her that I would bring her out to the snow for a day. Up on the mountain we found Dreamie’s smile.

We got a hold of Melody packed up and headed to Mt. Baldly for the day. The snow and rain was horrible for the day, but still like magic it stated snowing as opposed to raining on us as soon as we found a useable sledding run. In true California fashion we used boogie boards for the sledding. From there we went strait to the family for some laughs love and holiday type stuff. It’s always good to see my family. Being an only child, and not really having my mom around I don’t have much family. So when I get to see the ones that I have it’s always a mental spiritual band aid.

Certainly more than in some years past I feel like my life is filled with a lot of love. For that I am grateful and happy.

Today, I’m waking up at 5:00 AM and doing some writing. Why I’m up this early I don’t know, but perhaps I can kill this Vampire tendency that has arisen as of late. I have not been able to sleep at night, and crash out in the afternoon. This is not really good for getting anything done.

So I will write this, do some working out, go for a run, eat breakfast, do some juggling, make some calls, and see if I can awaken my life. It’s time to land some work I think, or at least come up with some sort of plan for the year. I have the spring covered, but nothing till then, or after then. I feel like I’m spinning my wheels. Sure my juggling skills are improving, but that’s about it.

Nothing offends me more than squandered potential, especially my own. Perhaps I should do something about that.  One of the reasons I have started writing this is so that I don’t just let days go by and do nothing.  There is something about writing it down that makes you come up with more stuff to write about by living.
