The Missus Nailed It This Year

This years Christmas got off to an excellent start and it's all due to the Missus. First, we got to stay at home, enjoying the luke-warm San Francisco weather, no traveling anxiety or road rage. Just pure comfort in the privacy of our own home. That matters to someone that is both agora-fobic and more afraid of cold weather than death by starvation.

Secondly, we have been practicing turtle-walking and turtle-execution. You might not be familiar with this latest trend but it's the combination of moving slow and letting the world pass. It's a philosophy that honors being, not doing. So what if we don't have the right colors on the candles this year. We have candles, no? It takes the pressure on and refocus on why and not what. It's more heart and mind than body and soul.

Third and last, my Christmas wishlist was honored and executed with the precision of a West Bank sniper. The Missus nailed most of the key items with excellent accuracy. Sure, I got some weird stuff that I most likely need to return when the Christmas spirit has left the building. But overall, she is getting an A+ on performance, engagement and content.

Merry Christmas!
