Thankful!

I've been back and forth in two days,flying to California to spend Thanksgiving with Andrew's family and then flying back home to Vegas today to continue my putting-up-the-tree process.  There is a lot I am thankful for this holiday year, but mainly, being alive and loved, sum it up.  Sometimes in life, we worry one to many times or stress out beyond what we really should, over things that aren't as important as what we make them to be.  And then, in the midst of it all, when we're just about ready to fold in the cards and give up, life happens, all over again.  I realized today that loving someone means loving yourself just as much, if not more sometimes, to give way to the person you love.  I realized that life isn't about making something out of nothing and that letting go, is truly the best cup of tea you can take in.  I breathe in a sigh of relief for all I want for the rest of my life, is this moment that I'm feeling right now; serenity, peace, love, completion.  I've spent so much time worrying, that worrying has become a part of who I am, which is never a good thing.  And I know that all I want for Christmas this year is the people I have now in my life.  I'm still growing up,but I'm looking forward to and enjoying every moment of my growth.  Thanksgiving was marvelous, and even though I wasn't with my own family, being with his felt just as complete.  My mom and sister come to visit me and spend Christmas with me, in less than a month. I can't even begin to explain the joy I feel just knowing that they will be here soon, and that I will finally get a Christmas with them.  I'm blessed and thankful for everything in my life.  And I look forward to more bliss.
