I just have a few words to say, or paragraphs… lol. I wrote this on another site but I wanted to share it here too.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I hope everyone has a good one. I know a few who’s have started out badly and I wish you all the best, you are in my thoughts and prayers. You know who you are. <3 My Christmas has been ok so far. Not going to do much, no gatherings or anything, but I'm cool with that. I've got my hubby here to celebrate with, my grandparents and the kitty . I'm quite thankful for all that.

This year has been a crazy one. Lots of ups and downs. It's been a learning experience through it all. I'm intrigued for what this new year will bring. So full of unknowns. This new year I'm not going to focus on what I don't have or what I can't do right now, but rather what I DO have and what I CAN do. It's much more productive and I can actually get things accomplished when I look at life in this way. Sometimes it's hard when life throws things in your path, oh how I know that far too well, but you keep on chugging.

I find in this fast paced world of ours time flies and we lose track of the things that we do have. How we truly are rich if we just look around us. Appreciate what you do have, whether it's physical wealth, family, pets, talent or something else. Don't get caught up in the petty things, don't dwell on the bad, on the wrongs done to you. Let go, move on, live life to it's fullest and don't let the past pull you down. We cannot re-live the past, we can cherish it's memories, or wish to forget them, but it has to be kept at what it is. The past. It won't ever happen again and it can be seen as a lessons, good times past, or can be held onto as guilt or despair.

Focus on the present, what can be done now with what you have. Focus on what you can do and what you want to become, rather than the opposite, for what you put in your thoughts will either make or break you, you will become what focus most on. If you focus on how you don't want to be like a certain person, in the end there's a good chance you'll get trapped in those thoughts so much that they will mold you into the very thing you don't want.

Now I've gotten totally off track and onto deeper things.
SO now that I've rambled now, I'll end this with a thanks. Thanks for all those out there who have helped me grow as an artist and as a person this last year. Thank you for encouraging me when I was at my lowest and pushing me to keep on keeping on. I've learned a lot about myself over the last year, some I was not too happy to look at, but at least I know now what I can work on and change. I also have seen things in my art that I do not like. I'm going to be making some changes there as well. Which everyone will see this coming year.

So that's my brain spew for now... it's been a while since I've said such things here. Anyways again, Happy Christmas, Merry New Year and best wishes to all!
