my sweeties

my 14yo son Kristofer
and my niece Rain
on Thanksgiving

We are all holding in through the holidays, although it is different and difficult without my mom here, she's like the glue that keeps everyone together. Sometimes I forget, and it dawns on me as I am thinking about how I should tell her about something I saw that I know she would like... and it's sad and unfair all over again.

I have been keeping myself busy, working too many hours, teaching, volunteering...
my sister got a new dog...
my dad is getting a new engine put in his truck.

Trying to put only good things out into the universe. Think happy thoughts.

Hope all my friends are well and that the New Year will bring joyful things.
