Wow - two days in a row with time on my hands. Definitely a shock to my system.
This year was the first Christmas, in several years, that I didn't have to work. So I spent it with a very dear friend who beat ovarian cancer this year.
We have known each other for 45 years come next month. That is a long time in human years let alone cat years. There have been times we have fallen out of touch and then all of sudden we are drawn back to each other and it is like we never missed a beat.
We can make each other laugh till we are crying and discuss things like the TV program Ancient Aliens.
Where I started out the science/psychology major and found spirituality, she started out moderately religious and found her path to spirituality as well. While I find meditation a must do, for her meditation doesn't pair well with her attention deficit. It is hard to focus on breathing when there are bright shiny objects. Our joke has been "oh look a squirrel".
She is an excellent dancer and I have murdered more men's feet then ill fitting shoes.
I had the best Christmas I could possibly have. Friendship, laughter and love.

How can life get so out of hand
It never ceases to amaze me how out of hand life can get. Just when I think all is well life just jumps up and smacks me upside the head.
The last two months at work have been that way. People leaving, people on vacation and just me to cover. I went beyond toast. I was to the stage that I could be carbon dated. I kept holding to thinking positive. Everything was going to come together in a way that would benefit everyone.
And then it started. A person slated to be laid off from another department was transferred over. Another who had applied a few months back, but was hired by another company, contacted me to see if I was still hiring. One of the graveyard folks wanted to come to days real bad but no one was applying for that position. Then all of a sudden here was a person who actually wanted that specific shift and nights. Everything began to come together beyond my wildest dreams.
I kept thinking that things would all come together - they did.
Now I am focusing on my two passions - travel and photography. I got into being a part-time travel agent to help me afford to travel. I love to travel so I can take pictures. Now to start thinking about making that my new career. Power of positive thinking. Let's see how long it takes.
