Yeps. I agree.
Family is in the heart, not just the bloodline....(and thank God for that).

I have to admit, though, that I felt pretty crappy this holiday....the fact that I can't feel comfortable enough to call any of my family member's and wish them a happy holiday. Maybe that's of my own doing as I'm the one who chose to exile self from them all....which is good in it's own right.
Still....can't help but to miss them when it's been programmed into us the associations of holidays and family.

Just glad it's over with, for now...Now, onto getting past xmas...lol.
