Warm Hearted

My last post was a bit on the negative side. I consider myself a mostly positive person. Except I don't want to be stepped on and I will stand up for myself and for my family. So I apologize for being so crabby. It has passed.

Yesterday some of my friends started playing a facebook meme. It is so simply sweet that I had to join in. A very simple concept: my friends were invited to send me an inbox message with a number between 1 and 100 and I would write them a message as my status that only they would know was for them. I started it as an opportunity to warm some hearts but what ended up happening was I warmed my own. It seems I had forgotten how many truly beautiful people I am surrounded by. I needed the reminder: people are good. Because often I am hermit like in nature and forget to reach out and touch the people I love (except for the five who live in my house, they are inundated with my reaching). If you have the time I suggest you try it yourself. I feel like I could conquer any adversity right now, it was empowering.

Also? I finished my Christmas cards. And I even enjoyed them this year which was a relief since I enjoyed NOT sending them so much last year that I was a bit skeptical.

Happy Friday!

It's nice taking a break from some of the Christmas obligations from year to year. That way, when you go back to them, you feel more in control. You feel like you're choosing to do something, rather than being forced. Makes such a difference!
