2007

2007 is nearly over. The holidays are in full swing with full-time Christmas carols jamming the radio waves since before Thanksgiving. The hustle and bustle of shopping madness and non-stop "one-day" sales overwhelm us. Cookie exchanges and holiday parties and luncheons threaten our year-long efforts to keep our figures. And yet, we go through the motions and apprehensions and joyous moments year after year. Those are the holidays I suppose.

Amidst the insanity that the holiday time can become, I love it all. I love the smell of freshly baked goodies. I love the challenge of finding the perfect gift. I love the holiday themed movies and TV specials that seemingly preempt regularly scheduled shows. I love the giving spirit that everyone, or most everyone seems to possess.

It's been an interesting 2007. I can't wait to see what 2008 will bring.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey day has come and now the holiday season is in full swing.

I'm thankful for many things this year. I have good health, a steady job, a loving family, and a wonderful boyfriend. My family is in good health and good spirits. My sister is in her last year of high school doing very well, and just about submit her applications to college. I have a steady job that perhaps isn't exactly what I want to be doing, but it allows me to save a good amount of money and enjoy life outside of work. I have a great boyfriend who loves me for who I am, no matter what. Life is good. Thank you God for all your blessings this year.
