This will be my last entry until I see my brother, Christmas comes, and I get time off from both of my jobs!
I have decided to piece together bits and pieces of this journal and give it to my family as a special present for Christmas. Every year we try to give eachother gifts that are not soley based on money. We try to do special things.
In the past I have written poems, made photo collages, framed greeting cards (that was a VERY lean year), and even created coupons for free dish-washing, driveway shoveling, etc.
This year I wanted to share something with them that is very important to me; something that gives that some insight as to what I go through while I am here in NYC.
I can’t believe this year is over.
Gosh, it isn’t possible.
It really seems like just yesterday I was standing in Times Square saying “goodbye” to my brother and now in 72 hours I will be at the airport waiting for him to come home.
Uh…what?
I praise God that we all got through this year safely.
Thank you Lord for giving me the family and life that I have.
While I know that I complain day in and day out about how hard it is to be me and to live my life, deep down I know how truly easy I have it and how blessed I am.
I feel very lucky to be me.
The three most precious people in my life will join me in celebrating the most wonderful holiday of the year. The birth of our Lord.
Here’s to good times, great memories, and an overall beautiful couple of weeks.
2002 is OVAH!
