Grateful / 11-122019

This has taken longer than it should since I'm reporting November and December of 2019, almost at the end of January 2020. I don't really remember much of what my thoughts and intentions were for those months, but I wrote down 'Grateful' as the title then, and it still seems fitting now.

It's been quite a breeze quite honestly. With the year closing out, I felt an overwhelming mix of emotions, which made it extremely difficult for me to put it all down on paper, I mean, screen. At this point, Thanksgiving and Christmas are both any regular days for me since I don't find myself fitting in any of the normcore activities for those holidays anymore. I did get to spend a day of giving thanks back to someone who's completely made life so much more interesting for me this year by grabbing a good omakase lunch with him. For Christmas, it felt weird that I was away from home for too long, so I flew back to see my mom and sister for a quick week or so.

As my time in Tokyo is coming to an end this year, I'm not sure what I can promise with this blog in the coming months. Seeing how inadequately I've kept up with these monthly recaps makes me embarrassed to even think about attempting them for 2020. I hope that wherever I end up in the coming months, I'll always take a little time to revisit this little corner of the internet that fully belongs to me.

With that said, to anyone that might come across this- I hope that the new year is full of health, happiness, and luck for you.
