I love the holidays as much as the next guy. Possibly more. I start up the Christmas music and drag out the decorations the day after Thanksgiving. I take great joy in wrapping presents, making my Christmas cards, and delivering poinsettias. It makes me feel all warm and nostalgic.
But come December 26, I'm officially over it.
Perhaps it's because I get so involved and carried away that post-Santa I can't stand the sight of another tube of wrapping paper. I get so buried in bows and presents and ornaments that the rest of my life withers away from neglect (notice the mass amount of blogging I did this month).
So, on this December 28th, I start the new year a little early. It's a new bright and shiny day. Time to remember the rest of my life, pick up where I left off and start anew.
And today I turn my focus to a new task. I am applying to the Vermont College of Fine Arts, in hopes of earning an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults. Let me tell you how much trust I have in you, because that's really hard for me to put out there. Now it's real.
But I'm taking a leap of faith. Faith in myself. Faith in what will be, will be.
Wish me luck.

Christie girl, you rock. I know you can do it! You inspire me! I just looked at their website and now I totally want to go, too. Haha, who knows... it's probably just a pipe dream for me...
But I am with you... I'm over the holiday thing now. Time to take all the decorations down and pack them up for next time. Time to quit eating all that holiday crap and start again... :) See how much I trust you? I'm putting that out there, and now it's real, too :)
Love ya!
haha! Seriously, the food at the holidays! Ugh! I support you Dani! You can do it :)
