And another one down, and another one down, another one bites the dust....

Well, well, well. I can't believe its almost Christmas.... Seriously! What the hell?! This year has been crazy.... An intense election, a crashing economy, new friends, old friends, a trip to Mexico, cats, ping pong, poker, books, tears, belly chuckles, school, work, earthquakes..... Is this what happens when you get old? You blink and its another year?

A few things I've learned this ear: 1. Choose wisely- Friends come and go, but when you've chosen the right ones they'll stay in your heart forever. Everyday you'll make decisions and it isn't till after that you realize the impact those choices will make, so trust your gut, your instincts, take life seriously, we aren't kids anymore. 2. Laugh- as much as you can, whenever you can. Sometimes it's all you have. 3. Show and embrace affection- our bodies, our souls were meant to feel bodily contact. Hug your folks, hug your friends, hug your cat. We should never go a single day without feeling the warmth of someone else's skin.
I want to say thank you to my family and friends, I've had some ups and downs this year and Im so glad to have had the people in my life who shared these times with me. I love you all more than you know.

I'm apprehensive about the year to come. There's a lot of change on the horizon, the change I voted for, the change that's inevitable, the change I won't know til it's done. In 27 days we will swear the first black President of the United States in to office amidst a storm of crisis. We will sit on the edge of our seats to see if this man will be the one to reintroduce us to national pride. We will see much struggle in the coming months in leui of our failing economy. Freinds and loved ones and even ourselves will be affected first hand, and we will ban together to ensure that our families come out on top. We will reach goals everyday, and set new ones every night.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and listening to my head, so far this has been a very good addition to my life and I hope it only gets better, for both of us.

I wish you all the happiest of holidays, surrounded by family and friends, and serenity in these confusing and hectic days.
