Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

 

Reflecting on the past year, I realized that I’ve already received the best Christmas gifts:

  1. The gift of life. It’s my 10 year anniversary being cancer free.
  2. The gift of having my mother on this earth for another year.
  3. The gift of family. We talk, laugh and enjoy each others company.
  4. The gift of friends who know you at your best & worst and still love you.
  5. The gift of second and third chances.
  6. The gift of grace, mercy, and forgiveness.
  7. The gift of travel to Denver, New Mexico, and New York & meeting new people.
  8. The gift of Netflix & Hulu especially for Longmire, The Mindy Project, Oh My Venus, and Spanish telenovelas.
  9. The gift of having an awesome writing group–buddies for seven years.
  10. The gift of discovering new blogs, writers, books, and authors.
