Hello Friends.

I have to just take a moment here.

Those of you who live on, have ever lived on or have visited the island will share my excitement. Its 10:30pm on a Friday night in November. Its snowing. And its sticking.

I've never been so happy.

Anyways.

Things are so good. I was riding in the back of a cab the other day and the cabbie was listening to Sikh Christmas carols. I have no idea how but they were rad. I just lay my head back against the seat and stared out the window. It was cold, crisp. All the windows were lit up with trees and lights and for a single moment I was trapped in an absolutely gorgeous movie moment. Its uncontainable. The strength of the holiday season is undeniable.

For me its always been that way. Carols and movies, Christmas eve. All are excellent catalysts for my emotional hair trigger. Cody is a very patient man and he's come to understand that my many tears aren't of sadness. Some are, some are bittersweet. Lots are of happiness. But I just cry so much. And as of late, I'm not ashamed of that. I have a lot of love and feelings inside and sometimes they leak out. And are wet.

My problem with the holidays is that I want to do them the right way. I don't really want to get caught up in the shopping and the craziness. What I do want to get caught up in is spending time with my family and showing love and respect.

But when the snow starts and the lights are lit, I can't contain the spike of joy in my system. Nor would I want to. Happiness comes in many shapes and forms and as I mature and get to know myself I'm learning that for me, happiness in its truest form comes from love. I've been blessed to have a great upbringing with so many special memories of the holidays that I cant help but to look forward to them. Especially more so now that I have Cody to share them with.

So thank you Mother Nature, City of Victoria and the cabbie from the other night.

Isn't happiness simple?



AN: its been about 2 hours since I posted and the snow has stopped and I've realised how absolutely sappy this post is.

That said, I refuse to change anything about it because I am a sappy person and thats that.

Suck it
