I started creating a wish list last night of all the things I might want for the holidays (just in case anyone should happen to ask) or would perhaps treat myself to. It was fun thinking about all the items that I wouldn't normally just purchase. However, as my list started to get longer and I started to note the prices, I began to feel so materialistic. Well of course it would be nice to have these things, but would it make me happier?
As much as I love surprises and presents, it started to make me feel so silly that I was making this list. They were things that would be nice to have, but really, I don't need any of it. I started pondering about the things that really mattered to me... I want memorable experiences with the people I love and cherish. I want to live life to the fullest. I want to try new things and visit new places. I want to make the people in my life know that they are loved and appreciated. This is what will make me happy this holiday season.

I can't wait to go home to see my family and friends. It's been one year too long. It will be a wonderful two weeks.
