thanks, giving

i’ve been indulging my hermit tendencies a lot the past month or so. work’s been insane and rewarding, but also draining.

my little christmas tree is up, i’m listening to beautiful droning noises very loudly, my cat is curled up next to me, i’m drinking a belgian beer and reading an interview with aaron cometbus in a tiny magazine i’d never seen before that i bought today at the best newsstand in the world that is both a ten minute walk from my apartment, and owned/run by three friends. that’s not a complete summation of life these days, but a really great snapshot.

a day late, but i have a lot to be thankful for. this year started with heartache and uncertainty and is looking to end full of quiet contentment, good friends I don’t see enough and lots of little pleasures that add up to a whole lot of goodness.

oh and I turn 30 in about a month. not bad so far 2011, not bad.
