The World Isn't Likely to End in 2012...

There is a kind of inexplicable joy involved in spending the day void of the pressures of life, to watch your loved ones smile with amazement as they tear wrapping paper and enjoy good cooking..life somehow seems less than demanding on Christmas..it is as if everything stops and worries take a back seat and you find that happiness, that peaceful place we try all year to reach..in reflection and with just the right amount of gratitude I welcome the new year and all that lies ahead...there is nothing quite like resting your head on your pillow at night knowing you are amongst people that love you..the world is hard enough out there and if anything the holidays have made me fully appreciate what it means to be home..

“Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives... and to the "good life", whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman

I have my life back!!

Its a funny thing college, sometimes I feel like I am in a time warp. In any case the Fall semester is a wrap and I am back to reading and writing about things that I actually find entertaining as opposed to what can be considered obligatory. Not that I didn't enjoy my classes this semester but given the time of year the holiday madness has a way of taking hold of a person and I felt for a split second there so scattered that I didn't  know which end was up..whew. Christmas is fast approaching and I am glad we got to take some time out and see The Elves & The Shoemaker Play at The Fountain Hills Theatre and see Santa not once but twice..last weekend I baked no less than 8 dozen cookies and this weekend after throwing an epic celebration for my sons 11th birthday I will be doing cupcakes and finishing up the last of the Christmas shopping..Hoping for a smooth next couple of weeks until we move into our new home. Sometimes its just nice to reflect and and realize that when life gets hectic it is good to be busy sometimes, it is in times like these you find the true meaning of going with the flow..now if I can just sit down and watch a movie in its entirety...
