....Christmas Joy....

The joy of Christmas comes but once a year...I think as I get older...that joy is coming in different ways...This year has been a great eye opener for me...you see, I used to dwell on the material things in life and want tons of jewelry and as many meals out as possible...I could never get enough...I truly believe I was out of control...my weight was spiraling out of control too...I think that is what drove the other "hungers" in my life...not being in control...

My surgery over the summer has helped me regain control of my life and my bad habits...I feel like a different person now and my life is changing as a result of that...I am trying to lead a more simple lifestyle now and concentrate on what's really important...faith, family and home...I really lost sight of these things and only wanted more and more material things...I still loved my family and I'm a very protective mother...my kids are my life...but that void inside was never fulfilled...until now...I am truly thankful for the way I was lead to this fate...it was purely coincidental as all things in life are...

We will have a much simpler Christmas this year...the kids are older and they understand that the money tree is in hibernation right now but it will bud again in the future...Christmas is not about that anyway...it's about being thankful that we are healthy and together for another year ...What could be a better present than that?

Thank you for visiting my humble...and deep blog today...

Take Care,
