Winter Chills

"I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long december and theres reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I cant remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And its one more day up in the canyon
And its one more night in hollywood
Its been so long since Ive seen the ocean...i guess I should"

-Counting Crows, Long December

This will be a long December. I have to spend it without my husband. I guess it's a little early to be talking about December when it's not quite November yet, but this song just popped into my head. We've been talking things, trying to work on getting back together. It's a good thing. I feel good about how we're communicating and how we're loving each other. Of course I'm a little scared. Having to spend so much time away from my spouse is just a scary thing. But, I think there is reason to believe that next year will be better than the last. It might be a long December, but I'm hoping for a good, long life ahead of that.
