Well, after the Greenville Christmas Parade, Roper Mtn Lights, carol service at the Church, I am pretty much knee deep into the Christmas Spirit. Last year, I did not feel very merry. Maybe, because I had preminition that I was about to spend almost 6 months of my life in a cast. I broke my leg on the 27th of December. I think I am enjoying things much more. I guess some how I have been visited by the ghosts of Christmas past. I have seen some rough times in my life. Lets face it, the economy is still in bad shape. People are losing their jobs. I realized the other day when I heard a friend of mine discribing their dating wows, that I will never date again. It was a relief-and a strange feeling all at the same time. I guess it is tough to meet the right person. I am happy that I have a family now for the Holidays.
It is important for me to start my own family traditions.
I cooked Thanksgiving Dinner this year. My family is meeting at my house for Christmas Dinner. I just have to look on the brighter side. I am definantly counting my blessings. My pants are tighter and my wallet is lighter. I am going on my honeymoon finally. We leave for the Bahamas December 11th. We will be back on the 17th, just in time to finish my Christmas shopping.
(Merry Christmas)
