It’s Christmas eve.  The company has all gone home for the night, and it’s just me and the ‘rents hanging out at the house.

For one solitary evening, I’m doing my best not to think about everything I’m naturally inclined to think about - and instead focusing on everything I have to be thankful for.  Great friends and wonderful family, good health, a good job that affords me financial security, and the knowledge that I’m fundamentally a good person, despite (or perhaps, in part, because of) my flaws.

I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful holiday season.
