End of the festive season

Really l have absolutely no time left to write in my blog today. I simply do not know where my days go now. Being unemployed you would think that l would have endless hours of free time wouldn't you. Lana visited today in her new car. It is pretty flash. Her father has fully restored a 1966 Ford XP for her. It was suppose to be finished for her 18 birthday but well that was 10 weeks ago but who is counting. The car is awesome. It will suit Lana because she likes being different from other people. No idea where she gets that from. Her father has been building this car for the last three years. I have to admit he has done an excellent job. Apparently $12,000 worth of good job. It is fully chromed and dark green in colour. Lana's boyfriend Alan is a spray painter so he helped with the final spray. I am going to try to work out how to get a photo onto this blog because it is a pretty cool car.

It has cheered Lana up a bit because she hurt her back at work earlier in the week. Strained all the muscles in the lower back unloading a truck of furniture that she should not have been unloading in the first place but her manager was yelling and swearing at her. Yes, l am very angry about that. The physio has taped her back and she has a week off work. Poor kid. The car has certainly brightened up her week. I wanted to go for a drive in it but well it just didn't seem right to ask. I will have to make it a mission to do that later this week.

I did find time to pull down the Christmas tree and pack it away for another year. I have promised myself that it will not sit in the shed without coming out every Christmas from now on. There really is no excuse for not celebrating Christmas of 2004 & 2005. Perhaps by celebrating 2006, l have in fact set up 2007 to be my best year ever. Funny thing the power of positive thought. A dear friend of mine reminded me that positive thought can achieve miracles. I believe that, l taught her that and she taught me to have faith. I have let my faith dwindle in 2006 and have promised myself that in 2007 l shall believe, l shall think positively and a shall draw on my faith. I have so much to be grateful for instead of grumbling about what l do not have. So even though the festive season is over for 2006, l feel inspired, refreshed and l am looking forward to the rest of 2007.
