post-christmas

sena's party was really fun on Sunday. she and aiyana enjoyed being with their friends and grandparents, and i liked cooking and preparing for it. i wish i had a little more time to sit and talk, but the time went by really fast...it was fun though.
then we had 2 Christmas get-together which were a little overwhelming esp. for aiyana who cried pretty hard last night, being over-stimulated and tired. yesterday morning, we had a quiet get-together at ed's parents' house, and that was very nice.

one of my favorite moments of the past few days was yesterday morning, when i left the house by myself for half hour. i needed to clear my head, so i went to eagleville dam. while driving there, i didn't see anyone else on the roads - everything seemed deserted. no people on the street, barely any cars, and the stores all closed. usually i don't like that, but yesterday it felt nice. i felt like i was all alone in the world, but not lonely; i felt like this way it was easier to notice things like the trees, the wind, the sound of the rushing water at eagleville dam.

peace
