You know when I was 13...16...19, I believed there was an end to the changes of adolescence and puberty and there was a stasis called ADULTHOOD. Well I've known for a while that there is no graduation in life where we get to say farewell to change...it just goes on. On and on.

And that is great. Really, mostly I really like living this human existence.

Life is also like onions (yes, and ogres); it has layers. And when you get through one tear filled layer there is another one waiting to be peeled (or maybe chipped away at?). You never get to the end of this onion (and wait a minute! Onions aren't bad...they're really cool. Did you know that the weird filmy layer between layers is only ONE cell layer thick? Pretty nifty if you ask me!)...because when it's gone, you die. No, that's not fatalistic, that's reality.

And there is there is another truth I learned a long time ago that hasn't seemed to help me as much as realising the reality of the ups and downs in life. That is: You will be presented with lessons in life. You will keep being presented with the same lesson to learn until you learn it.

This holiday season I have found myself dealing with one of those familiar lessons. Smirk. Good times. I guess that happens a lot around Christmas time. Great, I'm normal :)

At any rate, I'm dealing with this lesson in a different way this time. It feels like I'm getting to the bottom of another teary onion layer...and it's a good thick and juicy one...LOTS of tears.

Please hold me in your thoughts. I'm OK, but I could use all the loving vibes I can.

Thanks :)
