Reading: Advent reflections by Fr. Roert Barren. I love waking up every morning to these. They aren't too long and they give a good focus for my day. I want to focus on the the reason for the Advent season a season of longing for Jesus coming. A longing that can not be satisfied here on earth.  

Listening: Christmas music of course! The Nutcracker, Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Bing Crosby you know all the greats!:)

Thinking: Entirely too much as always! If you want to know you can read here.

Wishing: For so many Christmas miracles this year! A new Echo job and Coaching job in the cities, and a boyfriend. Ha why not go all out right? God can do anything, and I am getting sick of waiting! 

Hoping: I get my Christmas tree up this weekend! I LOVE this time of year:)

Loving: My day to day life. Coaching is huge:) I just keep getting more students more than I have time to take on:( I want to take them all ha ha! But I can't. If I do get a job in the cities it is going to be SO hard to leave!!!!!!!

Rejoicing: In the beautiful package waiting for me at my door after work today! It was a wonderful surprise from a dear friend!:) You're the sweetest chica! A Downton Abbey mug and Christmas tea that sounds amazing! And a Christmas candle that I can't wait to light!:) 

Anticipating: Christmas obviously!!! And my trip to Chicago for New Years! I seriously cannot wait for that! I just realized that I haven't taken a full week off of work since a year ago when I took my trip to Rome and Ireland! Dang I don't know how that happened! Crazy. I am just a little excited for my long Christmas and New Years break!:)

Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!

Ciao,
