Boxing Day

So Christmas is practically here. I think this year is the most unusual for me. I'm a college student again, and still at home, but so much more involved with things outside of the house. I've practically been adopted by the Capps, and Haley finally likes me enough to let me pick her up (which makes me feel so much better)

I got to thinking about how much it would be impossible to go through life without them from this point. It's kinda like chai. It's just that good.

This time of year tends to have a lot of depression. After Christmas, life is forced back to the same old mundane, hopeless shuffle to pay bills and be HAPPY. Its always too freakin cold and never snows and never enough hours in the day and never enough hours at the job. Taxes. Gah.. It's like life took a second glance at that hot chick passing by and when it faced forward again ran into a pole and fell into a manhole and had to take the sewer home.

Lets not have that happen this year. I want to keep up some hope and faith through these dreary, bleak months. It's not the condition you find yourself in, but the condition you bring to your environment. Make it a point to smile, and not complain (just suck it in and deal; we all have problems and get through them)
