Ok, so I know I am not a comment whore, and I actually really don’t like the way that sounds. But what I do know, is that sometimes it would be nice to hear from my readers. I get personal emails all the time, asking me questions, commenting and such, yet for some strange reason, people never wish to leave comments.
Actually this would be fine, except …. sometimes I wonder if I should continue to write my writing blog, or just turn it into nothing more than personal stuff. I guess it’s why I often put personal things in between writing posts. Because I’m afraid people aren’t reading it. (although I don’t need validation that they are). It’s an outlet for me really. But with all the emails, I just wish people would leave comments more often.
So if you are looking for a goal for next week - a New Year’s Resolution? I have one for you. Leave a couple of comments a day. Just make it a habit to comment on a few blogs you read each day. I promise it makes the writer feel so good. It’s just nice to know what people think - good or bad. I like to know what others want to read, hear or discuss. I like to know if I upset someone, or if I make someone happy.
So leave a comment, doesn’t have to be on my blog - just one SOMEONE’S Blog! 
Have a great night!

Wishing you a very special day!!

Wow. It has finally arrived!
It’s hard to believe that the hustle and bustle and busyiness of the holiday season is almost over. And I couldn’t be happier.
In fact, this is the first Christmas I’ve ever been this happy and at the same time been so fucking happy Christmas is almost over. The season has always been my favorite, up until this year. And I’m still trying to completely understand why this year it changed, when my life is so much better than ever before.
I will be happy on December 26 when it’s officially OVER and I don’t have to face anything for at least year.
