though the holidays instill anxiety in so many, i am actually finding the christmas spirit is lessening the a sense of dread i usually feel as i draw closer and closer to the dance competition season. soon, my life will be filled with:
- papercuts on chapped, raynaud's-afflicted digits
- visits to kinko's to make endless copies where i bask in the winter sun through the window in efforts to lessen any seasonal affective disorder
- compulsively checking the mainframe like a freak for new entries again and again
- weeknights getting lost in the dark while driving back from the north shore suburbs after coaching for some freelance ducats
as i dive headfirst into the logistical soup that is staffing my events for starters, i dial up a station on pandora called "jazz holidays". instantly, i am craving:
- celebrating birthday after birthday with laughter-filled meals
- cozy scarves, warm socks and my mega-heavy boots
- trips to starbucks for delicious holiday drinks and snacks
- back and foot rubs on the couch with family, snuggled under blankets
- the sense of accomplishment i feel looking at all the gifts on my list purchased and beautifully wrapped
heck, i might not even object to breaking out our spartan collection of christmas decorations... if we could just figure out how to do a tree now that otto is walking.
