It's December already!. Are you ready?

I took time out of my very busy day to stop and think about all I need to do this month. I was getting overwhelmed. So I started to reflect on some silly funny things that happened over the Thanksgiving week to relieve my stress. One thing makes me laugh the most because its so obnoxious. My son was asked to make and bring the rum balls this thanksgiving. Its a bit of a family tradition. Usually his grandmother makes them, but she is nearly blind and getting on in age. So instead of asking for a recipe or getting any kind of help...this is what we were presented with after dinner:

 

Now this solution is coming from my son who was an honor student in school! His idea of the perfect rum ball! My son has a definite sense of odd humor. Its one of the reasons why I love the young man! Although I really don't drink alcohol anymore, we all laughed at the corniness of it, some took a drink of rum and we all went out to shoot some hoops. So technically we had a new rendition of homemade rum balls. (I have to admit, I did miss the chocolate)

 

Its winter time and we all are thinking of ways to warm ourselves ( unless your in a warm part of the world-then cheers to you~) Its also a time when we are thinking about what the holiday will bring us. I know its fun for most to exchange gifts with each other during Christmas or whatever you celebrate. I can get a little bit of excitement out of this tradition. But what excites me the most with no bounds is being around family and friends and even acquaintances. The feeling of being close and bonding just a little more than usual is priceless to me. Feeling the love of  people in my life. It keeps a deep smile fixed to my face all day. I love smiling at people who look grumpy. Maybe for 2 seconds I can put a happy thought into their day?!

If you walked up to me with a diamond necklace as a gift...I would get more pleasure from you with a loving hug, a genuine smile and a few kind words a good laugh. That would be more precious than any object that could be given.

 I will take that kind of sunshine in my life. If you see me, I accept hugs! strike up a conversation in person or though personal media. Lets laugh about silly things, lets put smiles on each others faces that will stick all December long. Lets release some endorphins in our brains.

What matters most to you this season? What do you want to convey to someone before the year ends?

Open up yourselves a little in a positive way. No regrets, unburden your hearts if you need to express your feelings. Its always easy to show your love to family...Show your love to your friends and your kindness to everyone else that is put in your path. Near and far, ....this is what makes me so very happy. Your important to me. I care about you. We share this planet together. Lets make it fun while we are here.

Peace, from me. Until next week my wonderful minions! I hope I made you smile~
