For the entry of reflection I plan on posting tomorrow morning, the first day of the new year. For tonight, my plan includes reveling in the arms of new friends and celebrating the love lost, love gained, lessons learned and steps forward in 2008. I will raise a glass (probably of juice since I’m still sick) and toast you all when the clock strikes midnight.

As if I didn’t already know

This time of year is when all you really want is to know that you have people in your life who care. Today I was reminded. I am loved. BIG TIME. My Dad was the one who hugged me and said, “You know you are loved” right when I needed it. But I felt it all day long. To everyone who was there for me today (in big and small ways), you keep me going.

I will run and I’ll be okay…

I’m making a CD for someone for Christmas and I started listening to some of my older Dave Matthews stuff and I remembered my very favorite version of his song “The Stone”. It was a solo version he did on the Charlie Rose show after an awesome interview. All hail…the glory of YouTube! I found it!

Here Comes the Cold…

So it’s not Christmas until I hear this song.

A little too late…

Look what I just found in my Christmas gift wrapping!

Interesting, you say?

My lovely friend, Nancy, tagged me on her blog. The challenge was to post 6 interesting things about myself on my blog. I say “challenge” because I can’t really think of six interesting factoids that most of you don’t know already.  I’ve decided, in the name of the holiday season, to make my facts Christmas themed. I’m going to tag at least four of you to keep the chain going.

Funny, I Still Feel Like Me

It just hit me a couple of days ago that I am, again, a college student. Maybe its the time off or the distance between me and my former institute of higher learning but for some reason, this feels totally and completely different. When I announced to my family that I had gotten a resounding “A” in my class this semester, they seemed much more pleased than I was. I keep thinking that this will, at some point, become impossible. I keep waiting for the time when I can’t seem to keep up. Or the moment when I no longer want to come to class. The day when I get a paper back with a big red “F” on the front…but, no dice.

Crap.

Just when I thought he didn’t have such a hold on me anymore…

Pause for breath

Just finished my project. I will upload a picture when its all cut out and completely finished tomorrow. I have some assignments to finish up for class tomorrow and then it’s all downhill from there! I am so ready to be done with this semester. I’m going to need a couple of roadtrips, plenty of novels on my reading list and a few days off from work. We’ll see if I can finagle any of that into actually happening.
