…than in Alaska.

You know you want to be here.

In the midst of all of your holiday cheer, please take a few moments each day to say a little prayer for my mother.

She’ll be admitted on Christmas Day, and will be having a major, life-changing surgery on Wednesday.

Please pray that the operation goes smoothly, that she is freed from her illness, and that she has an easy, quick recovery.

I truly appreciate this, and wish you and your families all the very best.

Love,
Crystal

It’s not enough. It’s never enough time with our loved ones. Never.

I live a life of details, and sometimes I feel burdened by them. Sometimes I resent them. But my life of details is of my own choosing, and occasionally I need to be reminded of this.

I choose this life. I choose to have the people I do in my field of gravity, and I choose to let myself be in theirs. We affect each other, swapping details, sometimes forgetting the larger picture.

I choose this life. And I am so grateful for it.
