simplicity. i watched the sunset from the corner office today. the clouds were perfect, the sky a creamcicle orange... mmmm-- california sunsets. i smiled. fall is upon us. i have been thinking about the upcoming holidays, trying not to focus on the work things- but instead the family and loved ones things. i thought about the past few thanksgivings, and holidays, and i have been such a disaster when i finally land at the moment- the moment when i am supposed to be happy and relaxed having wine while the gas fireplace mimics that of a real east coast wood fire. i feel like i am so worked up before the moment happens, and can't seem to unwind by the time it arrives. im hoping this year to be different.
