EXCITED for the HOLIDAYS!!!

I'm looking forward to gather with family to have a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner and catch up on everybody's busy lives.  It will be so good to see family.  Some will travel across states to get here.  I love to be with family.

One of our favorite things during the holidays is hot chocolate!  My girls seem to drink it about every day.  It is soooo good during the cold weather.  Something about it is very comforting.




Christmas can get a bit crazy for all of us.  I know that this time of year gets crazy for me at work.  As a result it is easy to forget what it's all about.  I have committed to try and keep my focus this year on the simple joys of the season.  Especially our Savior Jesus Christ in whom I am so greatful for.  Merry Christmas to all!

I can speak with athority on this subject...


First off, let me say I truly love people in general. I think, for the most part, people are good by nature and mean well. I will say however, that there are those that make me question this general concept. As many of you readers know I work in an industry where occasionally we get in the "upper crust" of society so to speak. I will say I have only met a couple of times some of these people who think they are better than any of us. It is a rarity. The ones that seem to treat the "lower class" poorly are the "wannabe richies." What I mean by this is the people who want to appear wealthier than they really are. I believe the word here is "pretentious." These are the ones who are just barely avoiding bankruptcy. Their homes are close to foreclosure, their fancy cars are always leased, never owned. There are items in their wardrobe that still have all the tags on them even after they have had the items in their closet for a long time. Even all of these things are "OK" with me, the problem I have is how they treat people. I think some honestly believe we are here to serve them. I don't mean this in my business setting only. I have seen it at restaurants, at movie theaters, grocery stores, hotels, and other places. I wonder if they are so upset with the "lies of richness" they live on a daily basis it just makes them miserable and they take it out on others. This is a shame. It is so nice when you meet someone who is so pure and truthful and not truly after something else.
May we all strive to treat people as good as we possibly can. "Kindness is always remembered, meanness is never forgotten."

Thanks for letting me rant!
