Here we are – Christmas Eve. I have a ton of wrapping to do and I will try to be in the holiday spirit. Sometimes I think these holidays do more damage to people than help. People get cranky, some kids forget how lucky they are and become greedy little brats, everything is rush, rush, spend, spend and then it’s done. Just like that.
I know, call me Scrooge but the way my kids are asking for gifts and telling me what they expect gets me riled up. I know I am not raising them to be greedy little turds but sometimes they act like it. They have so much more than I had growing up, but don’t even appreciate it. I know they are kids and they cant be expected to recognize it – but jeesh. There are a ton of kiddos out there with nothing. I’m just venting at all the crap I have to do today to get ready – it’s stressing me out.
Remember when I mentioned that I want to start meditating? Not only to help me during my workouts, but also just help center me and get me to a place where I feel confident once again. I found some information on iPhone apps that can help me get started:
I’m going to check some of them out and see how it goes. I need to learn to control my thoughts and gain some inner quiet. Lately, my mind has been going non-stop and I’m not really sure that’s a good thing.
I’m always looking to improve and make myself better – its probably one of the issues I need to deal with!

Kindness Matters
One last thought to share today – Every year, I send a card to Mercedes and the oncology nurses at Georgetown Medical Center who were there to hold our hands and played a big part in our cancer journey. We saw them every other Tuesday for almost a year for Scott’s chemo treatment. They were the most caring, supportive, kind people we have ever met and they are never, ever far from my heart. This year, after receiving our card – Mercedes called Scotty to just check in and say HI. That’s what it’s all about – just a small gesture, a phone call – to remind us what great people those nurses and the entire team there are.
