less than a week away from Christmas...

The holidays are so strange now, since I'm soooo far away from my family. AND snow has been replaced by sand, which is even more odd - but wonderful, just the same. :) This week, it's been in the upper 70's most days...which really feels weird. It just doesn't feel 'right' to hear Christmas music on the radio, and have the a/c on in your car. Ha!

I'm really ready for 2010. I usually skip over the whole 'new year' thing, and just continue on with life. This time though, I feel like something is on the horizon...something is about to change. Which reminds me, for the millionth time over the last several weeks, of these words: "Be the change you want to see in the world." Man. It's tough to get any deeper - or more true - than that. So these are the words that I've been focusing on lately, and will continue to focus on as we approach this new year. I would love to see people being kind, just in general. Sometimes, it just simple manners that would make all the difference.

On a completely different tangent, I've been remembering my dreams more often lately! I rarely remember my dreams. And I've been dreaming about random people, which is really odd. Just out of the blue, a person I know in passing, or haven't seen in a while, will make an appearance. I don't know what to think about that...

This blog has turned into a stream of conscienceness ...which is actually a great idea! It's supposed to be a great writing technique. Maybe it will get my creative juices flowing!! I've been wanting to write a Christmas song...

I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, and Happy Holiday Season!
Peace and Love.
