Christmas Break

Welp, things are starting to slow down a little bit! I finished my finals last night and I am SO SO SO happy to have those classes finished. I want to puke just looking at all those books laying around! I think my grades aren't going to be as good as they were in the Spring, but I don't even care. I consider myself lucky to have pulled it off as good as I did considering two moves this year and about 40 credits complete. I'll probably end up with 3 Bs and 1 C, which I can totally live with. As the year draws to a close, and the holidays are upon us I think so much about my blessings, and the awesome things I've learned this year. Some of which are:

-Patience: the ability to let things work itself out even if it feels like the pressure to find an answer or a solution immediately is to much to handle.
-Love: unconditional love to those around me. I learned that showing love and concern for people around me creates opportunities and helps me feel happy and optimistic.
-Dreams: Spending my life doing things I hate will create a negative balance in my life, so I choose to do things I love and spend as little time as possible doing things I hate. I have a lot of dreams that over time have been swept under the rug, and now they're hanging fresh in my immediate thoughts, and I'm going to work towards achieving them.
-Children: They grow up! The time I have with my children is so limited. Its such a bitter sweet experience raising children, and I remembered this year to enjoy it. They are my little stud muffins that will forever love me and appreciate me (minus the 10 years that they think i'm stupid).
-Husband: I learned to choose my husband first. To make him my best friend, and my "go to" person. No one loves me as much as he does.
-Friends: Can be a wonderful addition to ones life, they can make any old day turn into something exciting, but something very important is that the opposite can occur as well. This year has shown me that choosing who my family associates with will directly influence us either positive or negative.

This has been an incredible year. I always love to have the optimism of the new year to look forward to, it's exciting! I hope this year has been good to everyone else. I love my family, and the new year is going to bring such great things, I can feel it in my bones.

Happy Holidays! Don't forget to set your New Years resolutions! You will be able to find mine here when it gets closer to 2011! Peace to all.
