Hey all. It's that time of year again. Candy canes, red hats with white balls dangling from the end, and the smell of Christmas cookies in the kitchen. But there's also that warm fuzzy feeling that you just can't seem to put your paw on. This year, however, it seemed a little devoid of that feeling. Perhaps it was the knowledge that I was no longer a pup. Perhaps I've grown up too much. Perhaps it was my first Christmas away from home. Don't get me wrong, I love Tiger's family. But sometimes it just gets me down. And as much as I try to stay positive, I always seem to come back around and dwell on the negative; thinking of all the things I haven't done or need to get done this year instead of what great things I've accomplished.

In short, Christmas was alright. Not horrible. Not great. Alright. I still feel a little crappy because, in retrospect, there's still so much for me to do and not enough time to do it in... not to mention work. I work too much and it's stressing me out so badly. I need to relax and kick my feet up, but then when I let my mind rest for too long it starts to think of the personal problems that face me in the near immediate future. I just wish I was more financially sound. I wish I was more ready for life than I am right now. Maybe I am and I don't give myself enough credit. Ah well. We'll just have to see where life takes me.

Hope you all had a good Christmas. Don't worry. You still have a few more days before New Years to complete last years New Years resolutions, which I still have yet to fulfill. Sorry. This holiday season just has me in a down mood.

Cheers.
