I have had some thoughts that I wanted to post here but I have not had time. But I'd like to reflect on Christmas. In the last three Christmas seasons I've discovered how materialistic I am and how hard it is for me still (but hopefully not always) to think of Christmas and look forward to it and the meaning of it without thinking of the presents. Being excited for Christmas because of the presents, that's what comes from not growing up in a Christian home.
I spoiled myself for Christmas and bought quite a number of things from Amazon.com (letters from a skeptic, Joan of Arcadia season 1, Lost season 1, etc.) One of my favorite purchases was a Denise Austin workout DVD and I actually really like her because even though she is WAY too cheery and smiling, she makes me smile and I pretend to be super cheery along with her so I end up getting a nice little 20 minute low impact workout with 10 minute stretch AND feel cheerful. Thanks Denise!
P.S, I am still loving my job even though there are stressful days like today when I had to deal with multiple bloody noses and all the kids coming up to me asking me what happened when I am in the middle of still dealing with it and helping the bloddy kid and cleaning up the blood on the ground.
