I hope everyone is having a happy and safe Christmas this year. It's been a quite chaotic, dangerous and indeed life-altering year for many, which I think is why it's more important than ever to really appreciate the friends and family you have in your life, and try not to let the little things get ya down too much.

I recently let my own stubbornness come in the way of a longtime friendship and lost a close friend because of it...just a reminder to cherish what you have while you still can.

Be safe and warm everyone! Especially those that are facing the huge blizzard this week!
