It's just before 2AM. The wind is howling outside my front door. I can hear the leaves and bits of trash that were haphazardly discarded by people who never thought about where it would end up being blown around and almost sounding like a torrential rain.
Today was a good day for me. I spent the majority of my day with my friend Meg at the greyhound rescue she works at. I got to spread some love to puppies who are definitely deserving of some love and a good home.
Other than playing with adorable puppies and hanging with Meg, I had to get myself ready for a wedding that I'm in this weekend. Tonight, I'm finding myself working on my manicure. Thank heavens for quick dry nail polish!
One thing I did not do today? Shop. Black Friday is entirely too crazy for me to deal with holiday shopping. I prefer to do my holiday shopping (and crafting) at my own pace. For me, holiday gifts are something that I give to the people I love not because I am obligated to, but because I want to. I want to share a little love, a little something special.
What's in it for me? The satisfaction of sharing a piece of myself with those I care about. Christmas has always been one of my favourite times of the year. I like to share my joy in the time with others.
Well, I think my nails are finally dry. Time to head on to bed.
Til next time! -Erika
