And...scene.

dotsandlinesI got what I really wanted this year: no drama. None. Everyone was lovely. I'm so grateful for that, and glad to have all permutations of my families in my life. It wasn't an entirely smooth road, but everything worked out in the end.
Deep breath.
It was one of the only Christmases in recent memory when I felt OK with my attempts at gift-buying, like I'd done my best and shouldn't worry any more than that. So that was good. I will try the same approach next year.
Tying into a previous entry a while back: among many awesome gifts I got this year was a copy of the out-of-print! fourth volume of Flower of Life. (I was just about speechless when I unwrapped it. Just wow.) So now I've finally read it. I have to say that this series isn't much on narrative arcs, and that plays out through the end. It's a slice of life series to the very end. But it's still bittersweet and wonderful, just as it began.
edit: Self, I forgot story stats this month. Oops. Will bump it to the beginning/end of the month instead of the middle and carry on.
