Season of gratitude

[bironic]

Things I am especially grateful for tonight:

- Working heat, and a hot meal
- Still having my mom (and dad) around
- Friends who remain so over long distances
- How this move worked out so well, physically and professionally
- Being accepted in and engaged by this community even when I've only been participating sporadically of late

.

Most recent instance of things going click: Discovering that the gorgeous voice in the pop/dance song Wake Me Up (acoustic version) belongs to the same man who sings the song Ticking Bomb that I bookmarked last week after hearing it in a video game commercial: Aloe Blacc. He does a mean, bluesy rendition of California Dreamin', even if he doesn't quite hit all the notes live (in the second half, anyway).

I'm so glad the move has gone well! And I look forward to our paths crossing soon, inshallah.

As do I. I've been loathe to suggest anything specific, given the pressures you've been under, but I know it will happen eventually.

*beams at you*

Like kassrachel, I look forward to seeing you soon.

I'm really glad that the move was the right choice. It's so great to see that you're happy!

So glad things are good! <333 I miss you, but I'm glad you're loving the new job and new place. I'm planning on insisting on a visit, in either direction, sometime in the first half of 2014 (and you're coming for ConTxt, right?)!

Will listen to all the songs from home! Thanks for the links.
