tomorrow is christmas.. every year i try to give back/pay it forward, to those less fortunate, and i must admit, i got all wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of work and a sleep deprived life, that i feel i haven't given enough.. i work so much and have so little to show for it that when christmas rolls around, i can't do all that i want to for others.. some years me and my fella sponsor a needy family for christmas, some years i donate hand made hats & scarves.. it's hard to donate my time, since i don't even get christmas day off work.. my goal for next year is to do MORE.. if i just make the time, i can do it.. i think that is a big part of why i am so drawn to Arnel, he is such a giving person.. when i find myself neglecting my charities, i look at Arnel, who stretches himself thin, is tired, aching and sore.. and still finds it in himself to give that little bit more.. and i stop making excuses and push myself to give that little bit more too.. so i thank Arnel for being such a positive influence in my life..
it's christmas, and while i don't have all my family still alive.. and some are in a different country, i am greatful for what i do have.. i have a man that loves me, his 2 great kids.. i have my sister [my best friend] here in New York with me and her family.. i am surrounded by so many animals that always make me smile.. i have a job, food to eat and a roof over my head..
i am happy
so, 2012.. i have big plans for you!
