Let me tell you, I'm living that phrase from the well-loved Christmas carol!
Although
life has thrown many different opportunities—and, not to mention, a good number
of curves—my way, the one constant since I was a little girl has been the
knowledge that I wanted to be a writer.
I
started scribbling stories well before I knew my ABCs—and I'll bet you can just
imagine the trouble that gave my parents when I asked them to read my
efforts. LOL
After
I learned how to use the alphabet to make spelling words, I knew the only thing
better than being a writer would be becoming an author so I could share my
stories with people outside my elementary school. That wish came true a few years ago, and with two more books out
this year and the recent sale of another Flagman's Folly story, I feel as though Santa came early
to my house! This explains why I'm so
happy this holiday season. J
Along
with the above, I have a lot to be thankful for, including the fact you've
taken time out of your extra-busy schedule to stop by and read this post.
I
hope you'll also take a minute, maybe by sitting down with a glass of eggnog or
a cup of tea and a cookie or two, to stop and think about what made your
year wonderful. And please share that
with us!
To
you and yours, I wish happy holidays and a happy, healthy, safe, and prosperous
year ahead.
All
my best, always,
Barbara

I am having alot of trouble getting to the jolly point. I'm actually wanting the next 2 weeks to be over. I sit alone and that's it. There's no family, no friends, no presents on the tree, no cookies, no goodies. It'a bad bad time of the year for me. I hope everyone else a really great time though.

Cathy - with the economy, I think many are cutting back on the gift-giving and goodies.
The holidays can be a mixed bag for so many, but a lot of folks get satisfaction from doing volunteer work at churches, soup kitchens, etc. And/or from buying small treats to pamper themselves.
Then there are others who just look forward to January--which is always good for getting a fresh start in a new year.
I hope you have a happy and healthy 2013.
