The real reason for the season

Recently I met a lady who really made a point on the Christmas season.  She and her family had stopped giving gifts when her kids grew up and now they go and do things as a family instead.  She said she 'doesn't have to worry about the waiting in lines, worrying about what gifts to give, and doesn't have to deal with the "me. me. me." people in this country'.  She remembers the real reason we celebrate this season and that would be the birth of God's son in this world and the miracle it was.  She also believes that it is about the other holidays of other religions as well.  We should not have to worry about offending someone by saying Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.  We should be caring and giving instead of thinking only of ourselves.  Giving is not rushing into stores and fighting over something for someone else for Christmas.  It is not getting angry at the clerks if something is out of stock or not marked the right sale price.  It is not waking up and wanting everything you asked for.  It is the thought of the gifts, homemade or otherwise.  It is the fact that you try to think of something you know someone will love and being able to give it to them and seeing their faces light up at the sight of it.  I wish everyone in the world a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.  Let us try to have peace in our homes and in our lives.  Let us think of others first.  Let us try to be a better friend and neighbor to those who are less fortunate as well as a better friend in general.  Let us be kind and loving to our families.  Let us be this way not once a year but all the days of our lives.

What is going on in my head?

I feel so confused about my life.  I seem to be watching as the world go by.  I feel stuck.  Work is fine, school is fine and almost over,  socially everythings great, even perfect.  I have nothing to complain about, but yet I feel so empty and unfufilled.  I don't know whats wrong or why I feel this way.  I love my life and everyone in it.  I am not mad at anyone.  I love my friends and family and I am very grateful for them.  I can't imagine my life without them.  But again why do I feel this way?  What do I do?  Ugh!!!!
