I can’t believe it’s been several weeks since I’ve last posted here. In spite of buying very few Christmas gifts this year, I did do shopping for others- and also spent a lot of time with work. Since this is the year that we spend away from my family, it’s always one of those bittersweet things, but because of some really amazing friends, this is probably my best Christmas ever being away from family- so rather than my general melancholy feeling, I feel happy, joy and generally blessed in a big way. Sure, I miss my family, but the great thing is- I have family in both places- one I was born with, and the other I’ve chosen as my own.
Tomorrow is another day of fun and festivities and then I’ll have a couple of days of rest- then fun with friends. The end of the year is coming soon, and the beginning of a new year is upon us. I am pretty certain it’s going to be the best year yet!
