It has been a struggle to address the structural issues within my systems, so I thank the individuals who interact with me while I go through a transitional phase again. I also want to thank the people who have contributed significantly in revealing the shortcomings of my current models. I will fix this.
After taking the opportunity to speak to everyone, since it is rare for the entire family group to congregate together, Some doors have been opened, while others have been closed. It is good to be making some progress.
I've been spending a lot of time this week with good friends, close family members, and old acquaintances. We've spent extravagant amounts of money to entertain ourselves, and also resolved to spend nothing on card games, mahjong, and karaoke at home. I honestly prefer not spending any money at all. The moments we spend together, laughing, cuddling during a movie, makes it all so much more worthwhile than a fancy restaurant or trips to a resort.
I've learned a lot this holiday season. Learned a lot about keeping the people I trust and love, even closer.
