Lately I have been a bit bummed with not being able to go home for Christmas with the move and not really feeling my groove here yet. I started realizing today how lucky I am. I still get to share the holidays with my family here and I have the BEST friends ever. :D:D

I called my mum to check on her(she isn't very well) today but she seems to be doing better. Than she told me she is going to spend a few days at her her brother's in the country and my best friend is going to take care of her cat for her and keep an eye on the house. What a great friend!!

Last night when I was down a friend from here cheered me up :) It isn't just him either I am lucky to have good friends from here and all over the globe!

I hope everyone enjoys their holidays and embraces every day. So instead of being negative I am now all about the positives. Now pour me another glass of wine ;)

    Cheers back to you :)

    How sweet is that??? I was hoping I might get to leave early Friday but maybe I will get a call like yours :D Enjoy tomorrow!!

    Thanks, she is doing better. I was mostly worried about her with me being gone. She won't really get "better" per se but as long as she doesn't have any falls and keeps on keeping on than that is ok with me. :)

    I'm glad tis all going good in terms of how you're thinking about it. Makes all the difference if you can get your head straight.

    In regards to your mom, its all baby steps you know? A step in the right direction can mean so much. It was so sweet that I have off tomorrow, I was so panicked about not getting everything done before we are leaving for philadelphia on friday, but now I have a whole day. I love it when good surprises happen.

    uh oh we have someone blaming religion for alcoholism :p
    It was always the opposite at my school when bands would turn up... always fucking religious bands... "i found god and he saved me from *insert addiction here*"

    really put me off religion :p

    Yeah for some reason my wine has made me feel rather warm and fuzzy. I hope this means I will sleep tonight. :o

    I am glad you are embracing it. :D

    its a little slow in here tonight.. where is harmless? he must have passed out somewhere.

    My husband hasn't bought me a single christmas present because he has been working all day and then comes home and works all night long as well. I can't complain because its a bunch of extra money for us, and I have the pit to keep me entertained, but he keeps asking me for a list of things I want, and for some reason I can't come up with anything!

    ah well i'm sure it'll help you sleep nicely, that'll be good :)

    and not so much embracing it as tackling the fucker down to the ground and pinning it before it gets away :p lol

    but only because it IS so damn true!


    how i choose to feel is how i am. :)



    seriously, kudos to you beckygirl, b/c that is just the kind of attitude for life and living that will bring you the most happiness, satisfaction and joy in this world. yes, it's important to take stock and realize when things aren't working, when your choices are leading to unhappiness/dissatisfaction.....but it is equally important to realze we all make our own happiness and to appreciate all the good we do have in our lives!


    i wish you and everyone the very best during the holidays, the new year and always! follow your heart and choose to be happy! life is too short to wallow in unhappiness.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow
