Last entry I talked about how fat I am. I'm still fat, but the situation's not as dire as I first thought. Tuesday I fit in my clothes just fine. Wednesday my work pants wouldn't even button up. Thursday, it was back to normal and I fit into my clothes again. Weird.

But that doesn't excuse me from changing my life, which I will do. January 1 is the deadline. Thank heavens for a new start.

I'm going to make some serious changes. I wish I didn't have a reputation that makes my friends and family scoff when they hear me say that. But I do. This time, though, my desire and perseverance will outlast the sounds of laughter at my new goals. I'm doing it.

I have so much to say, but no words to say it in. I've been blessed beyond my dreams this year. I have an incredible family, amazing friends, I have a job. There are people who can't say that.

The changes I make will reflect gratitude for what I've been given. I'm going to take better care of the body I've got. I'm going to make new friends and share what I have with them. I'm going to be kinder, work harder, appreciate what I have. And most of all, I'm going to give thanks in the only way I know how to the God who gave me everything.

Have a wonderful Christmas. Happy holidays. I wish all of you peace and joy this season and throughout the year.

I will be with my parents this Christmas, where an ancient beast masquerading as a computer will not be adequate for updating on diaryland. So you must wait until I get back. And I have a couple of good rants just waiting to emerge, so stay tuned for the good stuff that's coming.

Until then, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
