IAWL

Last night was the annual It's A Wonderful Life party/screening organized by the Scotts. A great night with tons of friends and family in one room, sharing one experience. I enjoy the holidays but haven't felt really swept up in the spirit of the season since I was a kid.

Tonight however I really felt a profound wave of joy and gratitude. Before the movie started a singing group and Santa lead the crowd in carols, something I typically wouldn't be that into, but for whatever reason I joined in and sang my heart out. Sitting next to my loving girlfriend being entertained and enlivened.

A lovely evening and event to share with a theater full of friends and open-hearted strangers.
