Geez, haven't done this in awhile. No better way to do this then to just jump right in.

Weekly Wishes
- Hitting the gym at least 4 times a week. I did pretty well last week and went three times but I want to step it up and get back in the swim go things, specially when I'm super slammed this week. I need to make time for this and be motivated!
- I have photoshoots coming out the wahzoo this week (everyone and their mom needs holiday photos) which is great for me and stressful at the same time. Please let me get through all these photos and have them sent out in time for my clients!
- I was going to say finish Christmas shopping and then I realized that I am actually pretty much done with that so let's just give a big thanks to the universe for helping me out in one area of my life.
- I've come to the conclusion I won't be in my own place for awhile and I need to update the small space I do have since I spend 90% of my time working and hanging out in my room. I've rearranged my furniture and I'm waiting on some new curtains and twinkle lights and have a few tweaks to add… I'm really excited about this. Having a great inspirational space will do wonders for my creativity.
-I wish that my dad continues to hold on and that my family can have a decent Christmas, all things considering.

My Colorful photo was taken at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino while I was waiting for clients to arrive. This little area with flamingos, pelicans, koi ponds, and waterfalls can be a nice place to hang out for a quick lunch or visit if you're ever in the area.
I am terribly sorry to read about your dad. My dad passed away from cancer this past April, and I know how sickening it is to have to basically wait and watch for the inevitable to happen. It's not easy, and you and your family certainly have a long road of emotion and grief ahead of you, but please know that there are others out there (me, for instance) that have gone through it, and sometimes just knowing that others survived these tragedies help. Blogging, as well as reading other blogs, through this emotional journey of mine has been one of the biggest aids, so I encourage you to keep writing about how you feel even if it seems like it's too raw or think it won't be comfortable for your readers. A human honesty is hard to come by in the blog-land these days. I am thinking about you this Christmas, and praying your dad will hold through. Try not to be sad by thinking about what will come, but savor every last ounce of "now". It's what you will hold precious for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kindness and words. It's relieving to here from someone who really gets it because they went through it. Thank you so much, seriously. It means a lot to me.
DeleteCongrats on the Christmas shopping! I need to get my butt moving for that.
ReplyDeletei spent last christmas / new years at a nursing home with my grandfather before he passed away. it was really tough, but it was the closest ive ever felt with family during the holidays. best wishes to you and your family!
