First day of December.

Wow, it's December already. Seems to have come pretty quick this year. I've been up since 4am. We had a huge snowstorm yesterday and I had to come to work early to get it cleared up for school. Now I'm exhausted, but on my fourth cup of coffee.

Strange feelings this time of year. I try so hard to get in the "spirit of the season" and yet I never manage to feel that good. I'm not sad. More upset than anything. Upset at the state of the world, the country, etc. People being killed. People turning on one another. Preying on each other like animals. Worse than animals. Animals only kill in order to survive. Humans kill for pleasure, cause pain for their own joy. Suffering shouldn't bring anyone joy.

As difficult as it is for me to get into the "spirit", I do always look forward to the new Year. It's an opportunity for hope. Hope that things will be better next year. I hope for all of you, that next year is better than ever.
