Stuffy head

This blog comes to you with much pain. Sinus pain. My allergies and possibly a cold (I can't tell because my allergies are so bad) have rendered my nose quite sensitive to breathing. But I will survive.

Christmas has come and gone and now we are staring down a New Year. Christmas has become extremely commercialized and is sometimes painful to celebrate. But then there are those wonderful moments that remind you that all hope is not lost. People caring for one another, children understanding that Christmas is not about how many presents you score, or people giving of their time, talents, or possessions to help those in need are just some ways that I have experienced Christmas this year.

I also get curious about New Years. People make resolutions to do things that they probably will not keep. I try to avoid NY Resolutions because I find that I end up upset and disappointed with myself because I was unable to keep them. This year I have decided to resolve to KEEP doing something that I have been doing pretty well. I am going to try to be kind to those around me and to lift up people when they do something that deserves praise, even if that praise is simply, "Good Job!" It is my hope that people will look at themselves and decide to resolve to keep doing what they do well.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
