Life has been stressful! Combination of life/school/work stressors have really hit me hard the last few weeks. As always, seeing a gift near my door at the end of a long work day really puts a smile on my face.

My gift seemed really appropriate. I have seen these at the book stores, always interested me. I will buy some pencil crayons and try to find some zen in the chaos of all that's happening.Can't wait to start filling in the pages on a nice rainy afternoon, thinking about traveling to Japan. Saving my money, hope to travel to Japan one day.

Thank you Santa! Happy holidays to you and yours.

PS - Remember the Bus Strike of 09 :) I lived through that and that was a stressor!

Addendum - Another gift arrive! Green Tea Kit Kat :D
