 tim just made me a tequila sunrise. we are still in pj's. my email auto-responder still says... hey! island hopping with people we love was the perfect way for our family to end this year. adventure together is all any of us want for christmas. we love coming home, we do. but we miss snorkeling in roatan every bit as much as we love coming home. so we are back in body, but not in spirit. and our bodies are still in pj's drinking tequila sunrises.  from this happy photo you can't even tell that we died a little this year. in more ways than one it was the worst year of our lives. and in more ways than we can count it was the best year of our lives. because... you have to die a few times in order to really live. the shadow proves the sunshine. there is a darkness upon us that's flooded in light. so... i hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes .  most of us spend today reflecting on how we fall short and resolving to be better. maybe this year, reflect on how you are fabulous and resolve to keep being fabulous. it's that whole shaquille o'neal thing. (click on that and go read it. really. we'll wait...) we made some BIG mistakes this year. we have made mistakes before and we will make them again. but when you believe that things don't happen TO you, they happen FOR you... mistakes are merely a plot twist in your life story. for us, failure IS an option. we are not really all that into basketball, but michael jordan said... i've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. so for the love of pete, let's stop beating ourselves up for letting ourselves down. resolve to be fabulous. because you already are. peace be with you, tim christina cole camden george Comments are closed.
