Good and Bad

In life, it seems, that you must take the good with the bad. This month seems a little crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course, if I could, I would change a few things, but I am not God nor do I know what he has in store for all of us.

This month seems like a roller coaster ride. In early December, my grandmother fell and broke her back, so she was in the hospital for a few days, then she needed to go to rehab until she could live on her own again. Then she got pneumonia and a lot of other health complications and is not expected to live much longer.

My best friend was involved in a serious car accident and severely broke her wrist. It is something that might or might not require surgery, depending on how everything works out, but it is something that causes her severe pain.

And it was our third Christmas without my brother. I wasn't really happy, but I wasn't sad either. So it was a good day, despite the fact that I felt sick and slept through most of it.

For Christmas, I got a boyfriend. He asked me when he gave me my present. I care so much about him and I am happy that he is in my life right now because he makes all of this suck less. I am really glad that I met him.

He is definitely one of the good things to come out of this month. And my friend getting into the car accident really showed her what an amazing person her boyfriend is. He was really there for her when she needed him to be.

Its times like this entire month that makes me believe that everything happens for a reason. And you just have to learn that life just is what it is.

I am just glad that the new year is almost here. I can't wait to make new mistakes, say I love you, and have the best experiences of my life.

Christmas Spirit

Well I don't know about you, but it just doesn't seem like christmas this year. Next Saturday will be Christmas and I am just not in the holiday spirit.
Tomorrow I will be going to look at the Christmas lights. There is a neighborhood in my community where every single house has Christmas decorations up (and good ones too). Perhaps that will put me into a holiday mood. If not, there is always ice skating, hot chocolate, and baking next week. If all else fails there will be a fresh homemade Cinnamon roll hot from the oven, a stocking with my name on it, and presents under the tree. So even if I won't be in the holiday spirit, I will be fat and rich with love.
