Jeanie: It Is A Wonderful Life

I went out and got the mail and found it snowing, just a little, like snow sprinkles.  It's December already and shoppers are in a frenzy. This year, more than any other, I am NOT doing the shop-til-you-drop thing, buying trinkets and goblets and niknaks, O My, for family, and friends, and acquaintences.  (Knowing full well, I will see all your purchases given in the “spirit of Christmas,” at every yard sale I go to this spring and summer.  For a buck!) This year I see my life in a different perspective.  It's more precious to me.  My priorities have changed.  I don't jump on the computer as often or as long.  I appreciate my friends and my family more.  I'm focused on my two new grandtwins.  I am  kinder to people around me.  I listen more and opine less/JeanieS, Community Comment. More here.

Question: Do you think your life is wonderful?
