INHALING

Been in Kansas City for about ten days and SO glad to finally be home. Found myself daydreaming about being in Florida again with the beaches, warm, humid weather and the sound of seagulls and surf; would like to somehow morph my world now and my world one year ago. Last year was a terrible year and yet the greatest year of my life in terms of friends and down-time, well spent. Friends are one of the things that come to mind the most during the holiday season, as well as, reflections of life that has been lived and the pull of the past. Depression encompasses many people during this time and it's easy to understand why--the smells and sounds and even the tastes of the season conjure up memories of the best and worst times in people's lives, usually interspersed. Remember to call up a friend of two after the holidays, you just never know.

No resolutions as of yet; never quite got into all that. January is a GREAT month for beginnings, of course, but probably not the greatest month for making commitments. Too much pressure. I have set forth some goals for my life this year but they've been in the making for a couple of months now. January seemed the reasonable time to start these new goals in my life, but I have stopped short of calling them resolutions. Okay, maybe that's just what they are. I wish my husband would make a resolution to stop changing the channel every 1/1000th of a second...drives me CRAZY!

Glad to be back. Great to be journaling. I'm breathing again.

GO CHIEFS!!!
