Hello again world,
Hope things are well in your neck of the woods.
Here we are at the brink of Christmas...
I have three of the most beautiful memorial ornaments and two new adorable doggie ones for my tree and yet no tree. Not a decoration one… Scratch that. I did receive a gorgeous fresh Balsam Fir wreath from Momma and Timbo that hangs on my front door. That’s it. Call me cowardly but I just didn’t feel like looking at all the “Our New Home” and “Our First Christmas” ornaments. My biggest fear of all – that damn camouflage stocking of his. So, in the boxes stored away in the storeroom area under the steps they reside and I like it that way – for this year. I am doing great but Christmas has always been my favorite time of year and the idea of spending it without my favorite person in the world makes me a bit too sad for my liking.
So, what have I done about it??? I’ve redirected my focus. Dave did not care one thing about Christmas decorations. He hated all the traveling and family time juggling acts that always managed to cause friction and piss people off. He liked relaxing, focusing on the true meaning of Christmas and drinking beer or maybe some Makers – or both =). Christmas 2010 – I’m not decorating, or traveling from family to family and I have my Bourbon Slush prepared with Makers ready for my enjoyment (and anyone else who would like to join me) in the freezer right now. I’m focusing on what Christmas truly means. I am celebrating my friends and family, the life I once had and the future that 2011 brings. Damn I am SO ready to kick 2010 to the curb! AND – I get to do that with awesome friends! Welcome welcome 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And for those curious types out there – I am doing so dateless but I do have some cute new shoes to accompany my size 6 ½ ‘s. =)
Merry Christmas world. Enjoy yourself, your loved ones and cherish the time God has gifted you. I wish you all the very best 2011 has to offer.
As always (like my broken record) thanks for the constant love and support. I am living, breathing, smiling and strong because of it. May God bless you all.
With love,
-A-
