That last post was just too whiny. So for some uplifting thoughts...

We had a wonderful Christmas at the beach. This year it really seems like my 9 and 11 year old nephews have matured!! It really makes me realized how much time has passed and how much we have to look forward to with our own little brood. We played games and ate a ton of food. The weather was a bit cool for the beach - but it was nice to keep the windows and lanai open and let the salt breezes flow through the room. It was tough to go back to work already today but I am already looking forward to another long weekend of relaxation for the new year.

I hope all of your Christmas or holiday celebrations were happy and filled with family and friends.

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight."-
