Santa Baby : All I Want for Christmas

Weather gets colder, jingle bells are ringing, Christmas music all over the stores, and everyone wants to have the yule tide cheer. Silly but every year I want one thing, no clothes, no trips, not food, or money, or any present a person can have, I want for each person to get a special wish it may not come right away, but I pray they are happy in some way shape or form, to realize that a gift is not going to be the solution it's the people and where you are at. For myself this year alone, I have my own place, and I am working very hard at Aerojet and the year has been incredible, crazy, terrible, wonderful, and a gift this time around. Christmas fast approaching, I feel one thing, I want my family and friends around me and eat a bunch of food and enjoy one another. The greatest gift we can ask for is Christ's gift to us to live and breathe as we do. Cheesy as this might sound, it's a gift that lasts, and it's love. All I want for Christmas is you. I would like it everywhere, in my heart, in others, in my soul, even if I can't right away love, one day I will, and be loved in return. I ask for this every year, look up above and hope. However, it's you, love is what I want. Christmas means mistletoe, holding hands, cuddling, close moments, and although I loathe Valentines day, I see Christmas as coming together through the Lord and the holiday exists because his son was born on Christmas day. Something wonderful about being able to hold hands, the fun of decorating a tree, singing carols with people. I walked out of the movie disney Frozen yesterday with a huge smile on my face. Two sisters, struggle with their relationship because has the power to freeze everyone and everything in her path. I would imagine love is all they needed at the time, even if they did not ask for it, a Christmas wish to be let in, to be loved, and understood. I won't give the plot or conclusion away you have to see it for yourself, but the joy and love was all around, it just had to be found.  All I want for Christmas is made each year, it's love and joy and care spread to the world. No one should be alone or without a joy during this time. Snowflakes hit my nose, I make a snowman, sled, watch icicles fall from the rooftops. Christmas brings symbols and lights, for my mother she collects all things snowmen, because my father proposed while they were building one, or so I heard. I collect angels, I like snowmen and santas, but angels bring hope and protection; the hopes and wants I have for others or about myself and concerns, are with these angels and they carry my prayers around. All I want for Christmas is you, you reading this right now, for you to be happy, for you to hold on to what's dear, whether it be a dog, a friend, a family, something that has no price.   (take the lyrics of the Mariah Carey's song),  "I don't want any presents underneath the tree, all I want......is you."

New Zealand Untamed Landscapes: Honeymoon 2019

Image
I was debating putting this post down since we arrived home. I gave myself a week back at work and a weekend to recharge and try to wake up. I have to laugh a little because typically when I come home from a wonderful trip, I am usually a smidge depressed for awhile. I observe the life and country of another land, get immersed in their culture and then depart before I can consider losing my passport and trying to stay. Ah, the life of a world traveler. New Zealand is a land of true beauty, many parts of it, are untouched by tourists, and holds vast landscapes of sweeping trees and mountains. The Maori people who live in the Maori village there are kind, and they protect their land very well. They made us a hengi feast and cooked it in the geothermal hot spring ground. Kind of like if America had a 'nature's slow cooker.' The food cooks all day and you can simply leave it covered and in the ground, where inset boards will be lowered down to cook the food. We also went to ...

Stay at home mom, Landmark, this and that, goodbye Midtowne on the Park

 Hello! Took another a long hiatus from these posts. I have been a busy momma. I left my job at Lockheed Martin June 2nd last year. I left the comfy cushion of a good salary, 9 hr days, and daycare days to days where I am central focused on kids, rather than when I will get my nails done, or when my next day off is. I attend St. John's Baptist Mother's morning out group once a week, 2 hrs in the basement discussing a book with other moms while the kids are in nursery or toddler class, beneficial. Learning to say no to things rather than yes to everything. I said no to women's bible study, which I love, to yes to more time with the kiddos, and yes to supporting my husband and the unpredictable work schedule. I say no to rushing from here to there unless part of our normal routine, and said goodbye to friends who do not fit changes, or energy, those who do not understand or give back.       Becoming a stay at home mom has helped me get back the moments I had lost ...

Setting yourself up for disappointment

I don't know what's harder, the beginning, the middle or the end of something you thought would last. for two weeks I have been sick on and off, and my life things I like doing have been put on hold, no gym, no life group, no bible study, it's been miserable and this week I could only go to work one day because I have pink eye in both eyes, trying to get well again. When I don't get to go anywhere or do anything, I do it anyways. I worked out while sick last week and made it worse. I went to see Iron Man yesterday after work because I needed to get out. I disinfected the apartment periodically and cursed when I saw statuses of people going out and having fun when I'm stuck. during my time in my room, or in the shower, or cleaning, I began to fester about what I could have been doing, what I needed to do, or what happened while I was absent, or about all the people I cared about who maybe forgot about me. Here's the thing, everyone has a hobby, or maybe its a fla...
