Merry Christmas

It's Christmas Day. 
I am surrounded by, and filled, with love. 
It's very good.
I hope it's good for you too.

Peace and love to all.

Just me.

I can't tell you how many times I've sat down at this computer wanting desperately to post something positive, maybe even "up beat". I've been failing at it miserably...but hopefully not today.

I have a lot of amazing things happening in my life right now, amazing people too. Music has become a huge focus in my life. I love to play it, I love to write it. It feels good. It sounds good. It is good. It stimulates my heart and my mind simultaneously. There is only one other thing in life that can do that for me; true love. Lucky for me I have plenty of both.
I also have another year under my belt. At this time last year I could hardly walk and was just about to be diagnosed with cancer. Right now I'm walking, working, playing...anything I want to do, I can. I'm focusing on that; the right now, because right now, things are good.
I'm grateful for a lot of things...everything! I'm happy to be having my glimpse at the universe (such as I can, given our current technological ability to do so), my time to be. It took me around 13 billion years to get here, but I think my timing is pretty good. I have been born in a very special time of our history, and considering what I've read, and even heard about from my elders, how we used to live, I'd say I got a pretty good deal. Strong, secure, and warm shelter. Food on every street corner. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and airplanes if we want to go really far. All the modern conveniences, from the computer that I'm typing into, right on down, this is a comfortable life for a lot of us. I feel very lucky to be one of the comfortable ones. I am surrounded by Friends and Family who love me, and I love them. We have good times together, making good memories. Life is good, and so is living.

I was given some very valuable, and very helpful, advice a short time ago by a very wise person..."Be, love, breathe, love." Those words, that sentiment, has carried me through some very dark passages in recent days.

I'm grateful for that too.
