It has been a crazy 2
months! I don't even know what I've been doing, but I feel like I've had
no time to unwind and relax. Maybe it was all of the preparations
for last weekend's fundraising events or preparing for the holidays, but it's
been a whirlwind. I can't believe it's less than 10 days until
Christmas and 3 days until I turn 31!
One thing I learned
this weekend is you never know who you will meet and where you will
find kindness. I met a lot of wonderful and giving people this weekend
who opened their hearts to my story and didn't hesitate donating to my fund
without even really knowing ME. I know how generous this is
considering the hard times a lot of us are experiencing. I also made
some new friends this weekend, just by them swinging by the raffle or
stopping to talk to me in the mall. I was so happy to spend
time with my friends this weekend, too - even though we were 'working' -
it truly didn't feel like work and I had a lot of fun with
everyone. I truly feel blessed for all of the love around me!
I even got to take in a
show this weekend at the Marriott - "White Christmas" -
which I've never actually seen on TV before. Crazy, I
know. One thing I learned from the play that I've been trying to do
since Sunday is this: Count my blessings instead of sheep, and I fall
asleep counting my blessings. It has been working wonders on getting
to sleep faster and having a more peaceful night's sleep!
Thanks, Bob and Betty!
So, what will I be
filling the next 10 days with? Writing cards, a holiday party, a
doctor's appointment, cooking and possibly some baking!
I'm not hosting any parties this year, but I am sure I will be
summoned to make something for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Even
if I'm not summoned - I will be sure to make my favorite Christmas cookie
- Pepparkakar! Yummy!
Merry Christmas to
everyone! Laura xo
