The wind here on the plains has been a real test of one's ability to exist. I just wish people would stop blowing around and focus on how simply wonderful things are.

meltdown 2015 style

Interesting thing happened today on the 2nd day of the year.....had that Christmas meltdown that usually occurs before December 25.  It wasn't super epic but it sufficed.  I feel kinda bad for the parties involved...but not that bad.  I love the people that said meltdown happened in front of but not bad enough to feel like apologizing for the simple reason that they are family, and sometimes families scream.  That all being said I still had a really wonderful Christmas, and hope that the two people reading this did as well..    love natalie

its beginning

to look a lot like Christmas.  I am pretty excited this year.  I basically have my shopping done and I am looking forward to just chillin from now until the big day.  This year is also fun because some of the things I, I mean Santa got for my daughter were actually things I kinda wanted for her to have.  The sheepskin rug, although not fun for her will look amazing in her playroom, and so will the gym like locker, and the hugglepod will get a lot of use from me.  And to be able to remind her that santa knows if she has been bad or good works like a charm.

Over 25 years ago I watched a documentary of 20 years of Rolling Stone.  Neil Young mesmerized me for decades, with a couple of sentences.  He explained that when he is giving a concert that he loved taking his crowds to the limit of the experience.  Going on to say that just when the crowd was at the peak of their experience, it was time for him to then REALLY take the audience to a place they didn't know they could get from  a performance.    I have literally applied this principle to my life for over 25 years, and so it goes again.  During a day with my 3 and a half year old we start out slow, we lay in bed a chit chat a little bit...slowly she begins to demand food.  We then usually go for a sweet in the morning to curb cravings the rest of the day.  Around noon we have maybe had a small discussion about suckers,   but we are in the first set of the concert and it is fun.  Afternoon when it time for drum solos band introductions and breaks we are bored and we wait for the arrival of our third member.  Then bam dinner time, bath time, crazy run around naked time, then the essential oils are released to aid in slumber, and as the night is coming to a close you realize this was one great show.  Everyday being a parent can be that way, you are at the top of the experience, ready to head for the hills and then boom there's more, and so you rock a  little more because you still have it to give.....and then one more encore!  The vibe is quiet and you feel like you shared something special.
