‘I’d rather hurt than live without’

Mom said something rather profound to me today, that “Just because it isn’t in your ‘right now’ doesn’t mean it won’t be in your future.”

I don’t know how she got so wise. But some days I appreciate it more than others.

In any event.

“I can face it, just about
I’d rather hurt than live without
But I will rage and scream and shout
A love, a life, it’s dark and bright
It’s beautiful and it’s all right.

Let your guard down
Get your heart pounded
We all bleed
We all breathe
And nothing stays the same.”

— Luke Sital-Singh, “Nothing Stays the Same”



Ho.

It’s 4 a.m. And I’m wide awake.

Not that Santa is coming. I gave up on him long after he gave up on me, though.

I bought one gift and it apparently didn’t ship before the recipient left town. Good job, small business.

In any event, back to work Friday. No plans to get out of bed tomorrow. So here are some crappy photos.

Ho.

One of my two beachy-themed palm trees. The iPhone doesn’t do them justice.

Here’s the other.

I have a little reindeer under my tree, too.
