I always have mixed feelings when it gets to be this time of year. Christmas being right around the corner, finals looming, the days getting shorter and the nights longer. I'm not sure what it does to me, but sadly, I don't always look forwards to it now like I use to when I was younger. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, and spending time with my family and friends, and getting to make snow angles and have snowball fights, that's heaven; but there's also this feeling of rushing, it's like life is on fast forward and you can't find the pause button. There's so very few moments that I get to pause and take a look at my life. To see how blessed and wonderful it is, and to appreciate the little things, like specially made chocolate chip pancakes for a goodluck breakfast the morning of a final exam. I just get more critical of myself around the holidays, and I want to stop that. I like sitting inside and watching the snow fall as much as I love a good sledding hill. Hot chocolate (without the marshmellows), and a good chick flick off the Hallmark Channel. That's the stuff I want to remember and focus on during the holidays, not which stores have the best sale prices and how fast I can put up the decorations. I don't know, I'm rambling...
Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams.
