Happy New Years Y'all!!!!

My New Years wish for You & me

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances without own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”

Bah humbug!!!!

I know I'm not supposed to say this so stop reading if you don't like a person that's is NOT a Christmas lover ...

I am NOT.

I hate that people can only muster being generous & kind one day a year.
I hate fake kindness - really fake anything (besides mascara & lip gloss)

I have never been good with it but as I get older I really find it offensive.

I have a very small family and it's been bumped and bruised beyond belief over the years so we all have Holiday "issues" but I can't stomach, for hours at a time, pretending we get along much less enjoy each other's company.
My mother is the worst with this and I have a hard time joining in the pretense, I always excuse myself and have again this year, which has made her mad but these days what doesn't piss her off?!?!?

I have many good friends that I have been able to share joy with but this time of year I try to keep my shit contained so as not to ruin their fun which makes for a VERY quite holiday for Moi. It's only 72hrs and now only about 24hrs left so I know I can get through it but it doesn't make it anymore fun! At least there are some good basketball games on tomorrow and I'm sure I can keep myself occupied with making jewelry & catching up on missed shows or a movie or two...

New Years is a different story & this year I'm actually looking forward to as this Year has been a personal growth year and I actually weathered it well all things considered I came out on top and then some with my New Job. I have an awesome tattoo (cover up really) that I'm getting starting next week that I'm More than excited about, good friends to celebrate with on New Years & a very fun Birthday planned!!

So I just need to suck up then next 24 plus hours.

Well I feel better already and just because I have holiday "issues" doesn't mean you should NOT have a wonderful & cheery holiday with you and yours...

Off to do some leg lifts, crunches & push ups & my nails... that always makes me feel better!

I can DO This!!

Cheers y'all
