I'm feelin HOT HOT HOT...noot! As I am typing this, it is literally 17 degrees in my house. I have to wear my gloves to type, please feel bad for me. I thought it was no big deal to not have a heater in my house. I thought that without knowing what it was like to not have a heated house. I appreciate heated homes so much more now! It really is true when people say you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone. Even small things like heat!

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here in my cumfy chair, with a glass of water, sitting next to my beautifully decorated christmas tree. I did not list those things for you to be jealous of my house, but because I have so many things that others don't have. I'm complaining about being a little chilly while there's a tragic event happening in Connecticut. I'm complaining about lack of heat while somebody is fighting cancer. And I'm complaining about not having heat while some don't even know what it's like to have a heated home. When I act dramatic about the dumbest smallest problems I am quickly humbled when I focus on what I do have.
It's especially easy to forget during this time of year. My friends know they're getting awesome high tech gifts when I am not going to receive remotely that extravagant. My family doesn't have a lot of money and it's hard not to get down about it. But then I think I'm just lucky to have one AMAZING family who is so much fun, loving, and understanding. Some people may things the big and expensive things are what matter, but to me my little things mean the world to me and they are certainly AWE MOMENTS.
