Pax Vobiscum

sonovista, my friends.  a quick note to reset the "days without an incident" calendar.

just wanted to wish everyone the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of holiday seasons.  i hope this note finds you well and ensconced with friends and family, or those you choose to spend time with when friends and family get to be a bit too much!  and if you aren't where you want to be, or with those you would rather be with, then i hope this note reminds you we are all connected, one with each other, and nothing is constant except change.  if 2008 was not the year you had hoped for, 2009 is certainly a chance to try it all again...  as Penelope Cruz says in "Vanilla Sky":

'Every Passing Minute Is Another Chance To Turn It All Around'

the castillian buddhist (who knew?)

for me, it was not the year i expected, and i could bore you to tears with my tales of medical confundity.  i won't.  suffice it to say, i truly appreciate all the thoughts and prayers sent my way.  the notes left here on the blog, and the messages sent from those who have become my friend on facebook and have reached out.  i am truly appreciative and trust in the lesson of the talking microwave:

robin: Why Me?
microwave: Because You Can
robin: But Why Not Someone Else?
microwave (exasperated): Because They Can't, And You Can!

(remind me to tell this story on the show some time, if i haven't told it before)

in any event, though i am not religious, i have faith that "this too shall pass".

in the meanwhile, i had hoped to surprise you all with a show today, but it just didn't come together...  but i got closer than i have in quite a while and will try again in the new year.  i miss doing Schnauzer Logic more than you can know, and i know the 'schnauzer' misses me too.

so until Show #68, please be kind to each other and be kind to yourself and

Show Up
Pay Attention
Tell The Truth
And Don't Be Attached To The Outcome
