i finished another semester of nursing school, and like most of my endeavours, i went into my finals week with a fury of tears and insecurity, only to realize i had come out near the top of my class. when will we learn that He has made us strong enough?
suzanne is here visiting.
i can hear her getting ready in the other room, so comforting having her with me.
we have seen movies, and drank bad beer, and slept in, and had coffee....all the good things.
Saw Lars and the Real Girl, I recommend it. Lars' delusion takes shape as a life size mannequin. And all the people who love him coddle this delusion, in hopes that he will get better and not need it anymore. They wake her up in the morning, bath her, and feed her, and drive her around and put her to bed at night... it was a lesson in love. Those closest to us coddle our worst parts too. Our darkest side. How lucky one is to find someone that will love you thru your greatest delusion, your greatest sickness? Very lucky I suppose.
And we watched Once this morning and I cried, it was beautiful.
Hope you are all well and blessed during the Season. I miss your faces.

I also loved Lars and the Real Girl. So sweet and so sad.
In any case, friend -- Merry Christmas. It appears your brother is spending Christmas at my house this year, so I am quite thankful to have some Piacentini in my holiday festivities.
