As anyone who reads my blog knows, I’ve had rough month financially and emotionally. I have had trouble finding the joy I usually experience around the holidays. I love Christmas and I have had a hard time getting into the spirit this year. Christmas is a time for sharing, giving and love. I have been so blessed this year and I have spent most of the evening reflecting on all the things that have exemplified all that I have been overlooking.
I have an amazing support system and although I don’t have many living family members the ones I do have are amazing and I am so grateful . I also have an amazing group of friends who support me when I am low and lift me higher when everything in my life is going well. I never have to deal with more than I can handle although sometimes it feels like everything happens at once. I am strong! I know I am strong and regardless of how much I might struggle in a given situation I always have the support of my loved ones to help see me through.
This blog has been an important part of my life and I am so proud of what I am glad that I have the opportunity to share (and vent about) my life with such an amazing group of talented writers. I am in great company. I feel so blessed to have the support of my fellow bloggers. You have all shared so much of yourselves and now I have an entirely new group of friends.
I want to wish everyone in my life Happy Holidays and a truly Happy New Year!

/ December 26, 2011Happy Holidays – I am glad you found joy – I know what you mean about money – emotions, it has been a hard year and a tough holiday season. This place – the blog is my outlet too and had it not been for it and the people here, I might have just tanked – instead I made it and on to a New Year! I just wanted to comment because I recognized the feeling and wish you Joy and Peace for the New Year
Cheers!
