Like every year since I've been born, we are spending Christmas at my grandparents' house. It is so nice to be spending downtime with my family, especially my sister. My sister is absolutely amazing; she is so full of wisdom, gentleness, understanding, spunk, humor, and adventure, all at the same time. We were having a lovely heart-to-heart last night as we were falling asleep in our lovely little basement room that we've always shared here... okay, I'll stop before I get too mushy and nostalgic. :)
I think that for the coming term my plan will be to work and dance. I've really been missing ballet, and I've been realizing that my time to do it is pretty much now or never, considering how quickly I've been getting out of shape. I hope I can somehow avoid letting it pressure me to be ever skinnier, and to seek my identity in it, though I can already see that both will be very difficult.
I'm reading an excellent book that I got as an early Christmas gift, called The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. It is about a man who receives a note from God inviting him to meet Him in a building which represents the greatest source of pain in his life. There he meets three persons who are God, and who answer his questions and teach him of God's love. It's really quite incredible.
