My Christmas List

It's not the first Christmas tree I had for just me, but it certainly is a special one. This tree means more to me than ever.

Not only am i celebrating the holidays, but this time last year I was still healing from all the major changes in my life. I was sad and scared and alone.

This year I am content and excited and, even though I have someone in my life right now, alone is not so scary. I have learned how to fill my life with love and family and friends and experiences that help me grow into the adult I have always dreamed of being.

My Christmas list is filled with hope for each and every one of you to discover the true meaning of this joyous season: Kindess, giving, love, family, friends, peace and of course thanking God above for all that you have.

Stop for a moment and enjoy it. Dont get caught up in the hussle and bussle of the season's crazy commercialism because, afterall... the greatest gift of all was not bought in Macys or Best Buy, but given freely for all the world to enjoy.

And so my life continues....

Happy Holidays everyone.
