Day Five: Part 2

T’was Christmas day with honeymooners hand in hand on the beach,

And thankfully for me, my vodka within reach.

An early start to such a beautiful day,

At least that’s what my friend the bartender does say.

The sky is bright and the water so blue,

The fact that I’m happy has never been so true.

And as I lay in the sun and reflect on the past,

I think about the characters in my life that have been cast.

A few which have brought tears and broken my heart,

But also lead me to realize that I need a fresh start.

A few which always know how to make me smile,

Those special few on speed dial.

The ones I can say know me the most, better than the rest,

The ones who have been there to see me through life’s test.

You’re the first thing I think of when I wake,

The kind of love that a person can’t shake.

No regrets or things I would change,

Because I love this life unordinary and strange.

You can’t always dictate what you want to feel,

Sometimes it just happens even when you don’t want it to be real.

So here’s to starting 2011 with a smile and cheek quiver,

And cheers to my partner in crime…my liver.

Yes…there may have been a little booze throughout the day and I clearly have far too much time on my hands right now…but I love it.

Love and thinking of you all.

My first Christmas dinner alone and it was amazing...mussels, parrot fish stuffed with crab, topped off with a papaya tart...and an excellent bordeaux.  Is it right to be this happy?
