ho ho ho...merry christmas

two days away from christmas and I am finally accepting the snow outside and the shopping traffic frenzy that seems to be everywhere. this break has been a much needed time-out in the constant busyness of my life as a nursing student. as I spend time relaxing with friends and family, i realize how much i love being home and continue finding joy in relationships i am surrounded with.

as i eagerly await christmas eve and christmas day, as the culmination of this advent season, i want to think about the ways i can bless others who are not able to celebrate christmas with their families. CBS is sponsoring a website called opgratitude.com to help bring a merry christmas to soldiers overseas during the holiday. if you have the time, i would ask that you take a few minutes to write thank you to some of the men and women who are working over the holidays to keep our country a safe place.

merry christmas and welcome to my blogging journey!
