Wow....

I was going to write a thoughtful post yesterday (Boxing Day) about how Christmas inevitably changes as you get older, but after picking my parents up from the harbour airport and helping them set up the new technology they got for Christmas, I was exhausted and so put off the writing of that post and a few more posts about Jason and I (or whatever that may be/is/was) until today.....

And then last night as I was just wrapping things up to go to bed, Jason texted in a horrendous state that a dear friend of his had chosen to take his own life.  So needless to say I have other things on my mind today including the immediate well being of Jason (and myself, to be fair) and so I'm not sure when I will be in a space to write and talk and vent and such but it's not today.

Today is a bit of a stunner. I'm allowing myself to rest and be and reminding myself it's not my job to carry anyone else's pain.  (A hard lesson for some of us for sure.)
