It's the day before Christmas Eve. I find myself continuing to fail that attainment of proper Christmas Spirit — though I try to acquire it in my ways and attitudes.
That underlying tone of the spirit of the season is pervading my thoughts of late ... and this day leading up to the eve of that biggest holiday in my history is not lost on me.
Still, that underlying personal meaning evades me and I continue to pursue it among those various other tasks in which I find myself immersed.
So yesterday I placed aside the code and the database for the remainder of the year. That nirvana which is a full appreciation of Christmastide hovers just out of my reach.
