Just Say It

This is a tough one for me to write, because all I want to say is something like: this, so very very this. But that also leaves a lot out, so before I get there:

If for no other reason than it's Christmas and Christmas is beautiful, or because it's cozy next to a fire with a glass of wine and you feel warm and want someone else to as well, or because you think someone would smile when you give them a book and a note, or because you do love someone in your life and think you want them to know, or because your tendency it to not Just Say It, or because you have a surge of mortality and get that fleeting feeling where you kind of jolt awake into a cloud of finitude, or because they're just lying there next to you and it's the middle of the night and it's snowing outside and it might be fun to wake up and play around a bit, or because you can't choose between things on a menu so you want to suggest that you get them both and do a little sampler, or because you think of a game that nobody else would understand or laugh at or play the way you two would, or because you suddenly need to tell someone something(s) random, or because...

...you have something maybe NOT so easy to say, or because feelings are at stake and hurt could happen, or because there's just some whatever-reason that things don't feel right and that try as you might, it's hard to understand or address or handle...

I don't think it matters, really. There will always be a because, in either direction, for saying and doing or not saying and doing. It's just that I find myself almost always encouraging the saying and doing. I don't know if that's right or not, it's just how I am, and for that reason all I have to say about this podcast is: this, so very very this.
