Since I am at an impasse on what to start: Spanish or Ethics, I shall write on my blog instead, a good compromise I think. In the last few days I have been chatting to Maddie (via facebook) about judgments. And the funny thing is when I was typing what I thought about judging things, people, places, my opinion sounded very cynical. And that brought me to the question: why am I so pessimistic? Not in a emo-upheaval and no terrible thoughts of the world--just abnormally small expectations for my future or from those I meet.
Then even more strangely I was brought to the idea that when I am at home my optimism is restored. And it feels like my foundations of optimism are returned to me once more. I receive a text message from Reme telling me what we should read over Christmas, and I am that much warmer of heart just thinking about being at home, can you hear the fire crackling within the hearth? Or is this my judgments talking?
I cannot wait to be among my loved ones again. 3 days :)

We cannot wait to see you....I am on my way to Suzy and Tad's watching the kids tonight, they are going on a date. We are going to have a wonderful, warm, family Christmas. I love you very much. Mom
Your blog is so pretty Whitney, very much like you!! Home and hearth and family is what regenerates us and soothes our spirits and souls. You recognize that very young, that is good. You'll always be a good family person. I like my family and see them as the best part of my life.
I do my Christmas, Halloween, and Easter holidays up big because I love the delight in the children's eyes when they walk into the room. It's not about material things, or receiving things, it's about the gift of family...I wish you a holiday FULL of gifts of love from your family. See you soon hon.

No I hope its cold and it snows! (I know Mom means warm as in loving.) I don't know about being pessimistic...did you know that being pessimistic is really being an optimist because you believe the world could be better? While if you are an optimist you are actually a pessimist because you are making the best of what is here already and don't expect it to get better. As far as judging, I have to admit right now I am pretty judgemental on certain issues, but then I consider myself an optimist. People are just complicated.
