As most of the Facebook posts say, it's already December 1st. Yehey. It seems like such a big deal. But it is in a way, I don't know what to say but in 5 days (not counting the weekend), I'll be officially starting my 3-week vacation. Yes, that's right. No work. I've squeezed everything in November and if you want something more, here's my out-of-office and I'll just try to get back to you in January.
If there's a time that I should panic, it should be now. December 1st reminds me that I haven't bought gifts yet. I probably would have to do it online, in an hour tops. Malls transform into this commercial mecca where close proximity is something to be expected. No thanks. Online shopping is fine for me.
As for the painful reflection, a sadistic year end exercise of mine, I am looking forward to it. I could be brutally honest with myself. I could list down things that sucked this year and judge from there if the entire year was a complete failure by my standards. If it is, at least January is just around the corner and it's still an opportunity to give thanks for your life. If it was a happy year, December would just be a piece of cake. Nothing could go wrong in this month. I like that power of invincibility.
Forgiveness, hmmm. Touchy. I do have a couple of people to ask forgiveness from. People I might have abandoned out of nowhere, completely detached myself from any communication or contact. I sound like an irresponsible parent, but I just meant in a friends perspective. Well, I have a couple of days to sum up the energy and not be a wuss about it.
December brings everyone to back to business, not the work business that you're thinking of, but business in fixing relationships, strengthening bonds and enjoying the things that really matter (read: immaterial). This month transforms people's thoughts that "it's okay to slow down" that "it's okay to feel alone in a room full of love." It makes us prioritize things that were put on a back seat 11 months ago.
December is not my favorite month, but it does have its good moments that I'm really looking forward to.
