End of Year Wrap Up

It's that time of year again.  Time to reflect on all the things that have occurred in my life over the last year.  There have been a lot of ups and a few downs -though those seem to be happening all at once and within the last week.

As I wrap up my first semester of graduate school as the year comes to a close -over all it has been a very good year.  My injury to my finger last year which caused some major problems has resolved a bit.  While I am still unable to straighten the knuckle, I am glad that I still have use of my rouge digit.

My upcoming two weeks sans child will be good to reflect on this past year.  What have I learned?  What have I accomplished?  What could I improve upon?

Just as the sun dwindles to the shortest day the dark gives peace to the mind and a quiet solitude in which to sit and meditate upon our lives thus far.  While you spend this holiday season with your loved ones remember to take time out for yourself and be present within yourself -your stress levels and your soul will thank you.

Peace, Love, Health to all of you.

Quote of the day

I am at the moment deaf in the ears, hoarse in the throat, red in the nose, green in the gills, damp in the eyes, twitchy in the joints and fractious in temper from a most intolerable and oppressive cold.  ~Charles Dickens
