My Christmas Wish List
I remember the Christmas’ of my childhood….my wish lists crafted through months of pouring over the Sears Christmas Catalog and spending 24/7 glued to the tv waiting for toy commercials.
As I’ve grown up my wish list has changed every year. I stopped writing it down ages ago, but only in the last couple of years has it become something so much more important than the superficial and material items. If I were to sit down and write out everything I want for Christmas this year, it would look something like this…
Jen’s Wish List 2008
1. Happiness and contentment for myself, my family, and my friends.
2. Less anxiety. I would love to feel like I never have to look over my shoulder, or doubt everything I’m told anymore.
3. The kind of love I don’t have to question or fear.
4. Clarity. I want to feel 100% sure of what I want to do, where I want to be, and who I want in my life.
5. The strength to confront the people in my life who continue to hurt me, seemingly without remorse, and the kindness to forgive, even when I can’t forget.
6. The discipline to finish my writing pieces…
7. The courage to submit them for publication…
8. And the self assurance to not fall apart when I face rejection.
9. The strength to understand that I can not control others opinions of me, and that I can’t be liked by everyone.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! I hope everyone has a great day!!

Same here. Life isn’t always like that, though. Must keep plodding on, however.
