So that must mean I’m alive, right? I could debate all night the pros and cons of that statement. But, I don’t want to. I want to have a nice, simple post. Something that reflects the opposite of how I’ve been feeling lately. Something upbeat, bouncy, with a bit of humor. But to write that, I have to feel that. And I don’t exactly not feel that way, I’m just pretty sure that I don’t. So, I need to change that.

There has been some great news in my little circle of internet friends. Good news that calls for celebrating, whether you know these people or not. The first is that Amy’s son has been declared 100% cancer free. This news tops my list of holiday cheer. Nothing is better than hearing that a child is ok, except for being of the mother of that child and hearing the news. Next up is Sheila. She somehow managed to get herself a brand spanking pretty new blog site. Nope, she had no help at all. Hehe, I managed to type that without bursting into giggles. Then I have my dear Sarah, who managed to finish a really crappy semester at school and remain nervous breakdown free! And to my beautiful friend Aravis, who lost someone close to her recently and also is finishing up a tough semester at school.And to Janelle, who’s baby just turned the big 5, which always calls for a celebration.

All of these good things has brought me back out into the light. It makes me realize that life goes on and that good things do happen. It reminds me ot look at this time of year through the eyes of my children. My stress affects Taylor most fo all, and I can’t and won’t do that to her. At 13, she has enough drama to deal with. And Seth, my little monster man. I love to look at the world through his eyes. I have seen so many things for the first time and its been great.

I hope that all of you are enjoying this time fo year. Hugs to all of you:)
