Silver Bells

Yes, it's Christmas time in the city. I still can't believe I'm spending it here this year, and sometimes I really feel like resenting and cursing and just... hating work for keeping me here. But the truth is, it could have been worse. Although this isn't exactly where I want to be right now, I refuse to ignore the fact that I'm still very, very blessed.

So this Christmas, I'm choosing to be grateful over being bitter. I'm choosing to be appreciative, and I'm choosing to believe that everything happens for a reason--that although I miss my family and I badly, badly wanted to go home, I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I'd like to think that somehow, I'm meant to find happiness in this place.

Wherever you may be in the world right now--at home, at work, or out and about, may you find happiness there. May you find Him there and have a merry, merry Christmas. :)
