As Christmas approaches quickly, my mind was second guessing my choice to be traveling over the holidays and I began to feel a bit guilty for not being home to celebrate with family. I didn't even send gifts home this year.
However, rather than presents, I am happy to offer my presence. I may not be physically present with family or those reading this post, but I am present here, now, today. Along with my presence, I'd like to stock your stuffings with my happiness, and throw any resentment into the fire.
Rather than being a resentful troll, gazing out of the window daydreaming about a grand adventure, I'm out on it and I brought my 3 legged bestie with me. She says she wants to keep spreading her happiness, too. Either that...or she wants a treat, I'm not sure..
Mom,
Thank you so much for understanding, and I'm grateful in knowing that you will be happier to hear the stories and see the pictures than receiving any gift I could offer.
Love ya, and Merry Christmas
