I feel a great sadness inside...for all the victims of the recent Tsunami disaster. Why this...? Why so many lives lost? Why so much destruction? I guess I also feel guilty or whatever you want to call it (maybe it's survivor's guilt). Well, anyway, I have been blessed with so much & in an instant, I realize how quickly & destructively it can all be taken away. The bottom line is "don't get attached to things". Value the people in your life most of all & cherish EVERY moment that you are with them because you never know what lies ahead...

Does anyone know what day it is? I've lost all track of time...since the holidays began. The days just seem to blend into one another, minute by minute, hour by hour. I'm in a sleep crisis, ,too, of sorts. I can't seem to fall asleep so I've been up reading & flicking through the channels. What a way to begin New Year's eve, sleepless in Kreamer. Some folks are already up & at their jobs by now. As hectic & tiring as it is, I miss my daily routine of getting up every morning around sixish, sipping a hot cup of coffee, watching the morning news until my body limbers up enough to make the next move...before heading out the door to work. I must be halucinating. I can't believe that I just said that... The holiday season is great, don't get me wrong & I love being home with my family but it's almost too good, too perfect, too relaxed... I feel lost!

...and it definitely has been a wonderful Christmas here. So many nice surprises...& so much joy & happiness. How did I ever get so lucky? I just wish it could stay like today forever.
