Merry Christmas

I’ve been busy hanging out with my family the last couple of days and really had no desire to be on a computer or write. It’s been a bit of a relief to get away for a bit.

Luckily work has also slowed down a bit and it looks like I’ll be able to enjoy the next week or so and take some real time off.

The saying goes that you didn’t know you needed a vacation until you had one. Well I knew I needed some time off but I’m definitely realizing that I REALLY needed time off.

I plan on being lazy these next few days and just get my mind off work and being productive. I’m excited for it.

I had a good Christmas with the family. It’s nice spending time with everyone. One thing that I’ve started to do as I’ve gotten older is start counting how many more Christmases I’ll have left with my family. It’s a bit sad to think about it this way, but it also puts things in perspective.

In all likelihood, I’ll have spent more Christmases with my family at this point in my life than I have left with everyone. That means I want to maximize my time and never take this for granted. Merry Christmas!
