so this is christmas
there is this wonderful John Lennon song, everybody might know (just google it or look it up on you tube) starting with “so this is christmas, and what have we done …”
I start humming this song each year the christmas days come closer on the calendar.
what have we done this year? hm, good question, hard to answer, besides the fact that there were nearly 350 days passing by … what is left at the end of the year? … raising up our son, Dimas, of course … watching him grow and develop, just looking at him while he’s exploring and conquering his world. getting settled as a family … of course, that was a great step forward, feeling good while getting daily stuff done that is needed to feel at home in our apartment. work, yes … a lot of, at office, but by far not so important any more after we got Dimas.
oh, not to forget … my.opera community was nearly shut down, 3 more months left … and it was shut down in a way that (excuse these hard words, please) pissed me off. but there was so much written about it already, no need for a whining look back on this episode. what this community and the friends I found there meant to me … they already know and that’s enough then.
now, what else have we done … this year … I discovered that taking pictures is a good way to express my thoughts and feelings … taking pictures anywhere and everywhere, mostly of our son and our daily life.
and now … it is christmas, and I’m writing a blog post again … feels strange and good at the same time.
Merry Christmas to all of you! Have a peaceful New Year!
… thanks for stopping by … and thanks for reading
