I remember being ages 5-15 and waiting every year for the Christmas Wish Book to come out. I would spend hours upon hours envisioning what I wanted for toys, who would play with me and how I could trick Santa into believing that I wasn't Sossy to mom. As the years moved on and I got older, Christmas became less about gifts and more about the meals, parties and get togethers. Now that I am 27.. Christmas sometimes comes and goes, I often pick up shifts, so people with Children can have the day off, I open presents before or after.. and haven't been able to cook a Christmas Dinner yet! I guess I am realizing now, that I have more pleasure in getting people gifts, decorating and someday hoping to see my children as excited as I once was about Christmas.
Also, materialist things have changed through the years, I practically have all that I need, because I am to impatient I buy it myself. However, I find myself looking for gifts that help me grow up as a person, like slippers to keep my feet warm so I don't get sick. A Blanket to warm me up on the couch while I am reading, a cook book to teach myself better ways of cooking in our new kitchen. I get excited about home decor & decorating the rooms. All of things are in no way hints.. just things that I would never have considered when I was just a child.
...As for NYE and resolutions.. I make them every year and I never keep them. I know I need to get healthier.. I am working on it. I've lost a little over 20 pounds since this summer. I feel like I put others before myself, sometimes good...sometimes bad. I'm beoming more independent... BUT... the one thing I am going to work on for myself is finding hobbies, spending more time with friends..and doing things for me. Im not being selfish, just a way of keeping myself sane...<3
Muahh!
