Christmas Day

This morning we woke up to find a Christmas tree full of goodies.  My brother got the chicken pox and he's looking rather disgusting, but that didn't got in the way of us having a beautiful Christmas morning.  My sister in law has been cooking all morning long and I have been sitting in the kitchen playing with my computer, talking with her while her impetuous toddler daughter plays and screams with every toy she discovers along the way.  We will be baking cookies later on.  Mmmmmm the smell of homemade cookies is just what we need to finish up this perfect day.

I have started my list of resolutions for the next year that is coming.  I am pretty proud of myself since I did quite well keeping up with my previous list.  I guess I just finally understood that not following up with my own needs just proves how unfaithful I am to myself.  I am responsible for me, and I am the one that needs to take action whenever needed.

For the rest of the day I will remain like this, calmed, thoughtful, enjoying the family, and eating all the yummy things we have prepared.  

Merry Christmas to whomever crosses this path.....
