Today's dates is Christmas Eve, December 24th, 2016

I am very new to having my own website, let alone a blog.  I am not tech savy in the slightest.  For some reason, I have created this artilce space, but then I could never delete it.  Luckily I do understand how to edit things, yay!

So I decided to keep this date, and use this space.  I looked back to what happened on December 4th.  I keep a positive aspects journal, and write down all the good things that happen throughout the day.  On this day I was in Kansas with my Mom visiting my brother.  It was the second day there.  I needed space from my Mom.  I ate breakfast with Lilly, this very cute little girl.  She was my brother's roommate's neice.  After playing with her the night before (the first time we met) she hugged me and we ate breakfast together.  She was so sweet.  I was enjoying my coffee with marshmallows, if you haven't tried it, its SO delicious.  She she was having her kid cofffee - hot chocolate.  She was happy to see me, that just warmed my heart.  

My brother's roommate took Lilly back to her parents, a 3 hour drive.  And I took the two dogs out for a walk.  The neighborhood is pretty cute, mostly revolving around a lake.  Its man made but its very pretty.  The dogs loved it, and were pretty hard to control.  The struggle was fun for me.  They were so excited, and prettty strong, so it took all of my body weight, and my arms held high to keep hold ofthem.  It was so cold that I needed to keep my hands inside my jacket, so I was kind of holding them with my elbos.  For sure the neighbors that saw me, thought I looked dumb.  But they are not my dogs, and I am not used to dogs.  It was an adventure :)

When I got back inside I defrosted, it was so nice to take off all the jackets, and feel the warmth of the house.  I took a delicious shower, again after going for a walk in the very cold, snowy outdoors, its so nice to melt into the warmth.  I was rejuvinated, and able to let go of my feelings of annoyance towards my Mom.  We all got ready for the day, and went to eat.  It was a basic day.  But I got to hang out with my brother :)  I love being around my brother.  Even if he doesn't talk, which he doesn't very much, I still love his energy.  I love how incontrol he is, I love watching how good he is with people, and his random very hilarious comments.  He is so funny.  I miss him a lot, and really hope he moves to a city that is closer, or at least easier to go visit, that I would only need to take one flight to get to.  And I am so proud of the man he has become.  If you ever talk to me I will most deffinately brag about how awesome my brother is.
