Today I really appreciated the life I have built. Miranda and I were out running errands. We were both hungry and suffering from premenstrual irritability. We were in our usual crankiness routine of me asking a lot of irritating questions and her refusing to answer (probably rightly so). A few minutes later we were happily picking out Christmas-themed tissue boxes in the grocery store. I love that we can do that.
This evening I cleaned off the half of the couch that was piled with Christmas address labels, crayons, and other art supplies and asked to sit with Miranda. I pointed out a sore spot just under my right shoulder blade. She rubbed my back for a few minutes, then reached around my body and pulled me toward her. She held me to her and kissed my neck and ears.
Tonight, after tucking Miranda in for the night, I came out to the living room lit only by the colored lights from the Christmas tree. It is peaceful and warm, and my itunes playlist is soothing.
My life is about to change. On January 10th I will attend a new student orientation; classes begin January 14th. (Grad school at last!) It is a comfort to know that Miranda is proud of me, and that our life is willing and ready to expand and flex to support the coming changes. It is a peaceful and magical season; it cradles me well.
