The white elephant gift. Got a whole stocking full o stuff for $2.49, including the stocking. My favorite part, releasing a brown ceramic cat from the Salvation Army pound.
Everyone needs some puppet scripts to act out bible verses.
Working in restaurants and non-corporate places you quickly find that they have good events where people laugh, enjoy food, wine and general randomness.
There is no shortage of that down here and owners generously shut down their operations to do it up and celebrate. I'm always surprised when tourists get peeved when things are shut down while town's staff is out cavorting. I think cause we know how to do it right.
Appreciation is all I'm feeling right now. The gatherings and festivities just seem to echo it in all kinds different ways.
I love that when I asked my boss if we could have a Santa Pinata, she decided to make one and sent a picture of her in mid-process.
I love that I have met people I can talk and laugh with that actually understand me and vice versa. I have sat and listened to some of the funniest, weirdest stories in the last year that I can't seem to get enough of.
I love that I can go to my new local yoga place and get to take a class from my old roommate. Where I now open my chakras, I used to drink rum and have great conversations with an artist who first introduced me to watercolors.
I love that I can be invited to go to two friends book openings and enjoy art basel goodness in one month with my super talented artist friends.
I love that my own art is opening up as I learn to open myself up to all the good stuff life has to offer.
Indeed, its been a very good year.
