    • The Best and Worst Parts of the Holiday Season

      • Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...


        christmas tree

        My most favorite part of the holidays is the tree, the tree, the tree! It was always my favorite part of the season, even when I was a kid.

        I would wake up extra early on Christmas morning (around 5am) and sneak down into our living room. Quietly - almost ninja-like - I would plug the tree lights into the socket and get cozy on the sofa and...just look at it. Just sit there in the darkness basking in the glow of the colored lights and soak up the wonder and beauty of the Christmas tree, in the stillness of the early morning.

        Even now that I'm an adult I still love the Christmas tree - especially now, to be honest. Now I have the ability to choose between tiny lights and the big, glass bulbs (give me the big ones!), silver garland or tinsel (tinsel and lots of it!) and the biggest choice of all: fake or real? Since the year that I moved out of my parent's house I have always had a real tree. I love the smell, the look, the natural beauty of it all. Although I have to admit that lately I have questioned my choice with the idea that using a fake tree each year is more "responsible" for the environment. But...it's once a year and it is the biggest part of the holiday from the bottom of my heart, so I shush those little voices and just enjoy it.

        As for my "least favorite thing" about the holiday...it's the holidays and there is no reason to be focusing on the bad stuff. Try to enjoy it and share it with those around you everyday.

    • Just a few things worth waiting for...

      • Keith Richards on the Big Screen

        1. A table at a fabulous restaurant, or even a small fish fry bar, that the food is sublime and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It's not just the food, it's everything about it. You feel as if you've won the lottery somehow just by being there, so waiting is a small price to pay at that point.

        2. Any line that my boys have asked me to stand in to make their "dream" come true. That could be a rollercoaster ride, a chance to sit on the lap of the Easter Bunny, or signing up for baseball for the season. To see the sparkle in their eyes and the glowing smile when we are successful makes it all worthwhile (even in the blistering sun, or the dead of winter...)

        3. Waiting in line, and sleeping on the streets of Milwaukee for two days/nights, to buy Rolling Stones tickets in the 80's. The experience (my first and only time really) of meeting so many different people with the same interest, sharing food and drinks with total strangers and the feeling that we were doing something wild and wonderful was definitely worth it. Oh, and to realize that we were FIRST in line helped. Fifth row center, baby!!

    • Don't stop 'til you get enough!

      • Crazy Dance

        I love to dance. Always have and always will - can't stop myself sometimes. I'm sure that I will be that crazy old lady at somebody's wedding "gettin' jiggy wid it" and embarrassing my kids to no end, but I won't care. Play the music, play it loud, and don't stop until I can't dance anymore.

    • Okay, maybe not...

      • Just Keep Climbing

        Rock climbing!
        To be outdoors in the mountains, hanging off of cliffs and feeling like a superhero... I think...but I'm afraid of heights, REALLY afraid of heights...to the point that those stairs made out of a grid, that you can see through, make me nauseous when I walk up them if it is more than a few flights. I had to walk up about 10 flights of those stairs halfway up the Eiffel Tower and my legs were shaking, my grip was white knuckled on the railings and I was breaking out in a cold sweat trying not to look down.....so maybe not.

    • A blessing in disguise

      • I broke up, so lets celebrate

        Sometimes a failed relationship is a blessing in disguise, no matter how much you feel that it should have lasted or worked.

        When you suddenly realize that that person no longer loves you, and is willing to walk away without looking back, the feeling of failure is so thick and deep within your heart that it seems you'll never recover.

        But...you do.

        And, one day in the future, you hear about him/her or you see or hear something that reminds you of them. You think of them without that feeling. You realize that it wasn't meant to be, you would never have made them happy. And they would have made you miserable to stay. And you're glad it's over.

        You smile, shake your head and heave a sigh of relief, then turn and embrace the life that you've made for yourself since then. What a blessing.
